SIX NATIONS — Three weeks ago, decorated Indigenous music producer David Strickland dropped a new banger called “Turtle Island” featuring bars from Supaman, Artson, Spade, JRDN, and Whitey Don. This release comes ahead of Strickland’s upcoming full-length album, Spirit of HipHop, which is set for release on June 29 via Entertainment One. “This song is kind of a state of the union, for where we’re at as a people,” said Strickland.

“For the most part, history keeps us separated so we’re trying to bring us together. We have the same conversations, same struggles, its the exact same in the hood, on the rez’, and we need to come together. So it’s about unity and it’s about bringing this island back to where it should be.”

As a well known Mi’qmaaq and Cree producer, Strickland has worked with Method Man, Wu-Tang, Rick Ross, Lil’ Wayne, Jay-Z, Drake and Kardinal Offishal. He said that the song has been released on all platforms from Apple to SoundCloud.

Mi'qmaaq producer David Strickland (centre) is a seasoned veteran in the Toronto scene and has been making music for many years. His newest music video is being made by Six Nations Thru The RedDoor studio and was filmed on Six Nations. Legendary hip hop artist Supaman (right) is featured on the track which Strickland has dubbed "Turtle Island". Six Nations land rights activist Shilo Hill PHOTO BY TRT STAFF (left) also made a cameo in the video.

“I’m very blessed to be able to do what I do and I just kind of woke up one day and I realized ‘we should do something with this,’ so I started to work more with our people,” he said. “We come in and we ain’t playing around.”

Alongside Strickland in adding bars to the songs, Christian Parrish Takes The Gun, a.k.a Supaman from the Apsáalooke Nation, said that the song means a lot to him.

“It’s coming together, the people, it’s all about unity and pushing forward,” said Supaman. “As for that continuous, per-

petual racism that’s out there, I think it’s always time for us to shed light on that and highlight our people and lift each other up, support the movement.”

Supaman is an award-winning rapper and fancy dancer and was a part of the group Mag7, featuring Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas and five other indigenous artists that recorded “Stand Up.” The song became an anthem for the movement that won an award at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.

project with the legend here, for me as a hip hop artist, it’s a big thing for me to be on that level to have people hear it.”

The Grammy and JUNO award-winning audio engineer called the song a “state of the union” for Indigenous people in 2020.

“Turtle Island”, serves as a reference to the original namesake continued by the indigenous people of North America.

Tyendinaga evicts white journalist, sex offender from community NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

TYENDINAGA MOHAWK TERRITORY — Two white men have been ordered to leave the community of Tyendinaga and the tear down of a Wet’suwet’en solidarity camp on Wyman Road, after it was discovered one of the men is a registered sex offender.

Tyendinaga Police say there was concern for community safety and approached the community’s band council - who ordered Darryl Richardson out of the community.

Richardson is a journalist from Toronto who was working with Real People’s Media — a news website co-owned by Tyendinaga member Seth LeFort and Tom Keefer, a white man from Toronto.

The Tyendinaga Men’s Council subsequently issued a statement ordering Tom Keefer to leave the community — giving him just 24 hours to comply.

Keefer was managing the Wyman Road camp, which locals had nicknamed “Keefer Camp”. Local residents

Tom Keefer and Darryl Richardson were removed from Tyendinaga Territory this week after police PHOTO OBTAINED BY TRT confirmed that Richardson is a registered Sex Offender.

told TRT the camp was becoming a growing concern as it was primarily non-Indigenous activists with no connection to Tyendinaga, camping out nearby local residents homes.

Real People’s Media emerged during the Wet’suwet’en struggle in BC initially offering solidarity — but residents criticized the media organizations actions after they posted to social media looking for financial contributions for the Keefer Camp.

In a post to social media on March 2, RPM published a public notice that they were building a village to stop genocide and posted links to an Amazon wish list looking for $40,000

worth of camping, video and medical equipment.

Items ranging from tents, to night vision surveillance equipment, outdoor lighting, balaclavas, gas masks, emergency medical trauma equipment, body video cameras, tactical protective body armour, cots and sleeping bags — items that suggest the camp may have been preparing to engage in a violent physical confrontation with police The media website also published an email address where they were collecting financial donations to fund the camp which had halted trains crossing Eastern Canada for several weeks.

Community members said they became con-

cerned that Keefer had so much authority in a Mohawk territory where he is not a member, to invite non-indigenous people to reside and welcomed Richardson, a registered sex offender, to take up residence.

In response to the removal of Keefer and Richardson, RPM issued an article claiming the Keefer Camp was being victimized in the same way the Black Panthers were oppressed

by US government officials by alleging Tyendinaga Council and the Tyendinaga Police were using “COINTELPRO-style” tactics to silence their movement.

This is not the first time Keefer was ordered to leave

a First Nations community in Ontario. Keefer is the former general manager of Two Row Times. In 2015 he was removed from his position after serious allegations arose concerning his conduct toward Indigenous women at Six Nations. After an internal investigation into the claims Keefer was put on leave from the business and ordered to leave Six Nations. He is no longer associated with Two Row Times.

On a previous instance at Six Nations he was directed to leave the community by a group of indigenous women and elders at Kanonstaton as part of being held accountable for misappropriating indigenous solidarity movements for his own political gains as an activist.

Members of the Men’s and Women’s Councils of Tyendinaga both issued statements asserting they continue to support the Wet’suwet’en Nation in their struggle against industry and the RCMP as they assert inherent rights — but took action to address the two individuals and the camp that they felt was disrupting the peace of the community.

Letter to Editor Most people know that Lake Erie is heavily polluted and has a history of dead fish and algal blooms.

What you may not know is that in the 1970's, Lake Erie was known around the world for its horrible state, after working hard, we succeeded in improving the water quality significantly.

Sadly, it is now once again back to the excessive levels that caused all those problems in the 70s. We need to recognize and acknowledge that Lake Erie is in trouble again and that we need to act.

The source? A major one is runoffs from our fields and properties including high phosphorus fertilizer and manure. Once again, we must act, like in the 70s, and this time it needs to last.

To reduce or prevent the runoffs we can start by growing plant buffers

along streams, lakefront and anywhere water flows.

Also, like Dale Cowan wrote in Better Farming magazine from March 2020, we can minimize fertilizer and manure use, apply it closer to spring for quicker uptake and place cover crops in empty beds to hold in nutrients and control erosion losses. Conservation Ontario offers watershed stewardship programs that can help you with grants and advice.

The water quality issue of Lake Erie touches many of us and we all need to work together to try to prevent this gross and harmful runoff from reaching our Lake. You may not be the cause and are certainly not the only one, but by implementing practical and doable ideas and suggestions you can help!

Celebrating IWD as a Haudenosaunee Woman CHEZNEY MARTIN

chezney@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

International Women's Day falls on March 8, which for us, was last Sunday. It is a day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women globally.

The achievements are vast, but did you know that the women rights movement that began in the 19th century was fronted by Haudenosaunee women?

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott – who were all pioneers of the women’s rights movement – drew inspiration for their vision of women as full participants in American society from the matrilineal culture of the Haudenosaunee.

Sally Roesch Wagner, a nationally renowned historian of the feminist movement and executive director of the Gage Foundation (named for Matilda Joslyn Gage) in Fayetteville, N.Y., is the author of Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists (Native Voices, 2001). In her book and several essays, Wagner explores how close association with women of the Six Nations inspired suffragists with the vision of a society in which women had the same rights and responsibilities as men.

“I could not fathom how they dared to dream their revolutionary dream,” Wagner wrote. “Whatever made them think that human harmony – based on the perfect equality of all people, with women absolute sovereigns of their

lives – was an achievable goal?”

The answer, she wrote, was right in front of her, in the suffragists’ own words.

It just took Wagner a while to see it: “They caught a glimpse of the possibility of freedom because they knew women who lived liberated lives, women who had always possessed rights beyond their wildest imagination – [Haudenosaunee] women.”

In a speech to the International Council of Women in 1888, suffragette and anthropologist, Alice Fletcher said “I crave

served in Congress since 1917; but, women only make up 102 of the 433 seats in the House of Representatives or 23.56 percent and 25 of the 100 seats in the Senate or 25 percent, despite making up 50 percent of the U.S. population. The United States currently ranks 78th in the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s global rankings of gender parity in national legislatures, below 10 other G20 countries, no woman has been elected President, a total of 44 women have served as governors in the U.S.

for my Indian sisters, your help, your patience, and your unfailing labours, to hasten the day when the laws of the land shall know neither male nor female, but grant to all equal rights and equal justice.”

In the 131 years following Alice Fletcher’s speech, women in general have gained a great many rights.

However with the impacts of colonialism and patriarchy, Haudenosaunee women have since lost many inherent rights, and there remains an upward battle for equal justice.

While women have gained increasing social equality, the work of the suffragettes is far from over. Yes, women have been able to vote since 1920, and women have

and currently only nine are in office.

And the society built on gender equality, the basis for the Triumvirate’s goals has been largely left behind. In 2018, Deb Haaland (NM-01) and Sharice Davids (KS-03) made history and were the first Native American women elected to the House of Representatives, out of a total of eighteen Native Americans to serve in the House; to date only four Native Americans have served in the Senate, none of whom were women. Despite many Native American nations historically having a social organization based on gender equality, Native women’s representation in U.S. politics is lagging be-

“

Close association with women of the Six Nations inspired suffragists with the vision of a society in which women had the same rights and responsibilities as men

hind. The same can be said in Canada, as only Jody Wilson-Raybould comes to mind.

In a speech to the International Council of Women in 1888, suffragette and anthropologist, Alice Fletcher said “I crave for my Indian sisters, your help, your patience, and your unfailing labors, to hasten the day when the laws of the land shall know neither male nor female, but grant to all equal rights and equal justice.”

In the 131 years following Alice Fletcher’s speech, women in general have gained a great many rights, but the Haudenosaunee women have lost many of theirs, and there remains an upward battle for equal justice. At what point do we stop asking for people’s patience and demand equality instead?

As well, written in Greater Rights of Indian Women In 1888, Fletcher, a noted white ethnographer, addressed the International Council of Women and spoke of the greater rights of American Indian women, pointing out that those women also realized they would lose many of their rights if they became U.S. citizens. Fletcher said one Indian woman told her: “As an Indian woman, I was free. I owned my home, my person, the work of my own hands, and my children should never forget me. I was better as an Indian woman than under white law.”

That same matriarchal power is still present in various ways and it is enough to say that Haudenosaunee women are still celebrated throughout the year, not just on a single day.

What is the cause of the “sudden” Indigenous blockades and rallies?

RACHEL A. SNOW

rachelannsnow634@gmail.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Mainstream media is selling the idea that the Indigenous have been spoon fed by various levels of governments and now seek to stop the economic development of the entire country.

It seems the Indigenous are without hearts.

They do not care for the eastern provinces that need propane or foods delivered via rail services, otherwise they would not be blockading train routes.

Worse, some wayward faction of Indians started these terrorist measures.

They are also trying to undermine duly elected representatives in their tax-free communities so that democracy dies a slow death on reserve.

It is justifiable that everyday Canadians have surfaced calling out these freeloaders and driving through their blockades shouting patriotic messages.

This is the drivel that is flooding mainstream and social media. This one

sided narrative is seen in reporting, op-eds, and in the comment sections following Indigenous stories where a racist free for all is amping up Wi-Fi use across the country.

Why is there a divide greater than continents between what Canadians think about Indigenous people and the actual facts?

Canadians learn this tainted history. Enterprising explorers, who were joyfully sailing the seas happened upon an unoccupied continent. If there were any people on this continent, they were savages - barely human therefore the taking of lands was a justified action.

Now when there are national crises involving First Nation Indigenous, the stereotypes and misconceptions rise in mainstream reporting, and are strengthened in the House of Commons or on social media feeds of elected officials. Further to the racist headlines, speeches and rants, the one compromised Indian who supports pipelines is paraded out to spew his ignorance.

Where are the true voices of the First Nation Indigenous at this time of

Canadian crises?

True voices are in their communities, living daily crises for survival. When they do speak, the narrative is quickly shifted back to show that there are “good Indians” who are supporting economic development and assimilation.

What is so threatening about the First Nation Indigenous that they must be kept subjugated and subservient? The original colonizers put bounties on scalps. When Canada formed a country under John A. Macdonald, his primary goal was to exterminate the Indian. He did not succeed.

The original peoples have kept going, despite termination agendas, genocidal policies and dehumanizing laws. The question should be why are these same agendas, policies and laws continuing, today in 2020?

First Nation Indigenous are writing and speaking, trying to educate the Canadian public on the real issues and happenstance of institutions having vested interests in controlling the real narrative of the plight of our people. These view-

points are seen as borderline terrorism and certainly treasonous to the myths that Canada continues to toss around like universal truths.

The facts remain the facts. Canada as a young country with nothing more than some writ from Britain, sought to bring harm to the Indigenous partners that allowed Canada’s existence. Canada wanted to see the First Nation Indigenous gone to clear their consciences. They also sought unfettered access to Indigenous lands, resources and riches.

The latest Canadian debacle with the British Colombia Wet’suwet’en demonstrates collective guilt. It is not remorse; that would require morals. Canadians cannot admit that the Indians were here first with governance systems, languages, territories and successful ways of living in harmony with the land.

Canada’s existence began in 1867, and alongside this existence came the Indian Act. The Indian Act has been the most racist legislation that dictated the lives of the First Nation Indigenous from reserve land passes, to all other

aspects of “Indian life”.

In controlling the Indian, Canada found it necessary to break the collective and hereditary or self- determined way of governance of various nations. Canada replaced the governance systems with “democracy”.

Democracy on reserve does not exist. Why? Simple. In provinces, cities or nationally, one man, one vote drives the idea that one has a say in government. Canadians can venture from city to city or province to province, listen to platforms and vote on whatever their hearts desire in an elected official – lower taxes, better access to health, lower interest rates, whatever. But on reserve, the demographics of the voters do not change.

The pass system in itself restricted First Nation Indigenous from leaving their reserves. If First Nation Indigenous did leave the reserve for work or schooling, the Indian agent on reserve deemed them competent – they were no longer Indians but stripped of their “rights” or “enfranchised”.

So on reserve a large family or factions of families can control the vote.

This leads to dissention and infighting on reserve.

This is the situation playing out in Northern British Colombia. Mainstream and commentators are vehement that the elected leaders must be heard.

This idea of only listening to elected leaders works for the rest of Canada but it may not necessarily work on an Indian reserve.

The leaders in First Nation Indigenous communities had been the hereditary or selected chiefs. They were the great leaders who stood together for rights advancement of all their people.

Today, colonization and the glorification of mainstream models of leadership have taken our leaders with collective hearts and replaced them with leaders who have the most family votes or supporters on reserve.

This is why reconciliation is dead. Canada cannot reconcile all the wrongs they have inflicted on First Nation Indigenous peoples.

No international inclusion of aspirational documents, or recommendations from countless commissions will ever reconcile that Canada is built on a lie.

not long after they took over the lease for the gas station and store.

“I had previous baking experience from Tim Horton’s and my mom and I used to bake for Red Indian and for other convenience stores,” tells Garlow of the early days of Traditional Treats. “I saw that nobody was using the oven here, so I fired ‘er up!”

Starring on the menu, and their most popular item, is a long list of different types of cookies including: chocolate chip, double chocolate, peanut butter, ginger, specialty Christmas cookies, and Indian cookies (with or without raisins, which remains widely under debate), followed by fresh scones, custom order cakes and pies, cheesecakes, sandwiches, and even lunch specials.

There’s also - you guessed it- some pretty tasty (and not too greasy!) Indian donuts.

We asked Garlow, what is it about Indian donuts that seems to capture the heart and soul.

“The natural herbs and spices, the cinnamon the nutmeg…there’s something about the combination of that in the donut, that it’s

earthy” Since opening, the tiny bakery has been known for giving the community more than just a sweettooth.

“It’s always been important for me to give and donate to funerals” explains Garlow “If someone were to come in here for a funeral, we would give them one bowl which makes about 3 dozen Indian cookies or Indian donuts” There are also a lot of customers who come in to buy the “traditional” baked goods to take to other reserves where they are unavailable, such as their Indian cookies and donuts.

They also offer a fundraising program selling custom order sheets of cookies for sports teams.

Five years ago, they added a fry shack which offers hamburgers, poutines, and other hot menu items as well.

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — On March 9, the Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust (EDT) is excited to announce their second call for 2020 Grassroots Applications.

This additional call has $120,000.00 slated for Community investment.

The Grassroots Application is designed for established volunteer groups or organizations that do not have regular employees, would not have a registered board of directors, and may not have audited financials to provide. The additional Second Call for Grassroots Applicants began as a pilot project in 2019 and has since continued into the 2020 year.

“The second call, gives community groups that fall under the grassroots category an additional opportunity to apply, as

they may not have their activities planned out a year in advance when our initial call for applications is released,” said Rachel Martin, Chair of the EDT. All completed Grassroots applications are reviewed in accordance with the Statement of Community Needs and Priorities and the Economic Development Trust Investment Guidelines.

Applications will be made available on the SNGRDC website March 20, 2020, with an application deadline of May 1, 2020.

Successful applicants will have from July 8, 2020 to December 1, 2020 to use the funds.

To learn more about the EDT, or to get more information about the application process,

applicants are encouraged to attend an information session on April 1, 2020 at Six Nations Tourism Building from 5 – 7 pm, email trust@sndevcorp. ca or call Roxanne Wilkieson, Corporate Affairs Manager at 519-753-1950 ext. 6450 EDT funds are made available through annual distributions of surplus profits by the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC). These profits are a result of SNGRDC’s operations both on and off reserve, including but not limited to, Six Nations Bingo, A6N Utilities, Six Nations Tourism, along with various investments in the renewable energy industry.

Shilo Hill, one of the four arrested in Wet’suwe’ten, shares story on-air STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Last Wednesday, Shilo Hill, went live on air at Jukasa Studios on Smoke Signals

to talk about his experiences in Wet’suwe’ten Territory.

Hill was one of the four individuals arrested in Gidimt'en, alongside his partner Eve Saint, who is a daughter of a Wet’suwe’ten hereditary chief.

“I’ve had my involvement with activism and first indigenous issues for a minute,” said Hill.

He explained that ten years ago, some friends of his went out to Unist’o’ten and following his stint in Standing Rock, he felt that

he had a bone to pick with the oil industry. As for the stand in Wet’suwe’ten, Hill said things became more personal.

“All human rights go out of the window when you’re dealing with these kinds of people,” he said.

“My partner, Eve, her father is Woos, who is the Gidimt'en house chief, and he’s the one that’s in talks right now. So it’s also personal because like me and Eve are having a child so it’s like family because my child is going to be Wet’suwe’ten right.”

He said that last summer, the duo went out to Wet’suwe’ten to help. While this year, they returned as the chiefs had evicted the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline after the first week of January. After CGL left, they then blocked

access to the Unist’ot’ten Yin’tah (how the Wet’suwet’en refer to their traditional territory), which 44 kilometres away from the nearest town, and lived off of the land.

During that time, Hill said that he reconnected with the land which is untouched in some areas, even venturing out on a cold night through the wood to reach the camp.

“It was so quiet and so beautiful, there was no fear when you walked through there. It was almost resetting for the soul to be in such a beautiful, pristine place.”

But later on, Hill said that although all of the land defenders present were unarmed, RCMP moved farther into the territory of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation after raiding

an earlier checkpoint. As the road was cleared by large vehicles, the RCMP left and returned the following morning.

“So we just went to the gate and waited for them to come,” he said. “Then they all came up in a line and they kept strategically placing snipers, to slowly advance among these snow banks.”

He said that the snipers looked through their scopes at the defenders while a line of up to eighty RCMP marched up. While Saint was chosen to speak with the RCMP, she told them that the land was unceded and always been Wet’suwe’ten territory.

Hill also mentioned hat the injunction opened to remove defenders was

“bogus” and “based on nothing.”

“Eve’s talking to them and then we all start talking to them because they start repeating themselves over a megaphone for us to leave or we’d be arrested,” he said. “They were flying these black helicopters over us, these two black choppers, and these choppers kept going into the back and dropping off all of these scouts and snipers.”

“They raided us — remember a few years ago when the navy seals raided Osama Bin Laden’s compound? Thats what they did to us. There was four of us unarmed. The amount of surveillance and money that they used when the way they came in at us was like they were gonna kill us. I really think they were gonna to kill us.

If there weren’t the two media people e had there, I swear to god they were going to kill us. The look in their eyes, the vibe in the air, I’m not even lying,” he said.

Now, Hill said that

because of what they seen and experienced, he and Saint still have trouble sleeping. After being surrounded, enduring the thought that they might be gun downed, land defenders were treated as though they had weapons.

“They said they heard we had rifles. But they didn’t find nothing because there was nothing to find,” he said.

While pointing her eagle feather at the RCMP while she spoke, Hill warned Saint to hold her feather high so that the RCMP wouldn’t shoot her out of believing that she had a weapon. He further mentioned that the territory is also in the middle of the highway of tears, so the history with the RCMP for the people in the area is already considered unsafe. Even though the RCMP said they wanted to talk, Hill asked "how do you talk to someone when they’re pointing a gun at you?”

Upon being arrested, each of them were later given rules to conduct

themselves by, including ‘keeping the peace.’ They were later followed by RCMP after being discharged. Hill said that they were painted by the court as eco-terrorists.

As for the nation-wide support of Wet’suwe’ten, Hill said seeing the support made his ‘heart jump.’

“When I got out of jail I saw all of the Haudenosaunee support and I just want to make note of this; I’m very proud of the community and I’m proud of you all out there, I’m proud of every territory and I’m proud of every single action, every individual, thank you, nia:wen,” he said. “Seeing that kind of support, there’s just no words for it. This is like something to remember, seeing the entire country stand up and to be a part of this is just an honour too.”

He said that the ordeal was out of trying to protect the Yin’tah and the land for the future. He added that the blockades should stand strong, as no agreement has been met.

Online threats, racism causing fear for Indigenous women

By Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press Michele Audette feels disappointed when she looks online and sees a barrage of violent threats towards Indigenous women. ``It made me so mad that we tolerate this. There's no real ... reprimand,'' says Audette, who was one of the commissioners for the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

As she gently places her eight-month-old grandchild into her vehicle in Quebec City, Audette explains that

$$

she understood it would take time for governments and society to work towards the more than 200 recommendations included in the inquiry's final report last June. The report called violence against First Nations, Metis and Inuit women and girls a form of genocide.

Audette had hoped the work would mean a better and safer future for children such as her granddaughter.

She wonders if Indigenous women feel any safer, especially with threats levelled during recent anti-pipeline protests, rail blockades and demonstra-

tions.

In many of those cases, she feels that women are more often targets than men. ``Here again, status quo.

We are not safe,'' she says. ``For me, in 2020, it's unacceptable.''

Bardish Chagger, Canada's minister of diversity, inclusion and youth, has called racist taunts and threats directed at Indigenous people following recent protests horrible and ignorant. She says many Canadians are unaware of Indigenous history and rights.

Erica Violet Lee, a

community organizer from Saskatoon, says the treatment of Indigenous people in Canada has always been violent.

When they speak out about issues, ``Canadian politeness'' crumbles away, she says. It was similar during the Idle No More protest movement, which was started by four women in 2012. ``When Indigenous communities and nations exercise our inherent right to self-determination, we become troublemakers, 'bad Indians,' who don't respect the Canadian rule of law,'' Lee said in an email.

``But Cree laws and the laws of our lands say that we have a responsibility to act in situations of injustice and environmental devastation.''

Lee recently attended a demonstration at a Saskatoon rail line in support of Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs opposed to a natural gas pipeline on traditional territory in British Columbia. She says some men began yelling at young protesters to jump in front of the trains.

She says she and the youth were called everything from ``stupid'' to ``terrorists.'' They also received death threats. ``How do we respond to that? We keep living,'' Lee says.

During the pipeline protests, it was common to see online comments encouraging drivers to run over protesters. One photo showed blood on the front of a train with a laughing face emoji.

The SooToday news website in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., citing a rise in racism, closed its comment section on Indigenous stories in February. ``We have read your ignorant ramblings, your subtle, but hurtful racism,'' editor Mike Purvis wrote in an editorial. ``We have moderated your thinly (and not-so-thinly) veiled threats of violence.''

Uttering threats is a criminal act. RCMP spokeswoman Catherine Fortin

said in an email that a ``hate-motivated incident,'' such as name-calling or racial insults, may not reach the threshold of a criminal offence, but can still be reported to police.

Nickita Longman, a Saulteaux woman from George Gordon First Nation in Saskatchewan, says it has been inspiring to see Indigenous people across the country come together in protests, but it has come with alarming backlash.

The longtime activist and organizer, who lives in Winnipeg, says the most concerning aspect of online hate and threats towards Indigenous women is how often it goes unchallenged.

The cross-Canada demonstrations have for the most part been peaceful, she says, and women will not be swayed by threats. ``Until our inherent rights are recognized and respected to the fullest capacity, we will continue to resist,'' Longman says. ``It is important to continue because our resistance has the capacity to dictate the future for generations to come.''

Her main concern is online rhetoric moving offline. ``The more these comments find space on the internet, the more they embolden people to act on them in person. ``As an Indigenous woman, that is by far the scariest part.''

Notice of Filing: Design and Construction Report Argyle Street Bridge Replacement in Caledonia, Haldimand County Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment Study (G.W.P. 3805-01-00) THE STUDY The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained WSP to complete the Detail Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the replacement of the Argyle Street Bridge over the Grand River in Caledonia, Haldimand County.

The location of the bridge is shown in the key plan.

THE PROCESS This study has followed the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) process for Group ‘B’ projects.

A Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) was prepared to document the evaluation of rehabilitation and replacement alternatives and the recommended long-term strategy to replace the existing Argyle Street Bridge with a wider, 5-span steel arch bridge. EA approval for the replacement of the Argyle Street Bridge was obtained in 2009. A 5-year review was undertaken and determined that there are no significant changes to the EA approved plan and the study proceeded to Detail Design.

The Detail Design is nearing completion and a Design and Construction Report (DCR) has been prepared to document the EA process, detail design, construction staging, and potential environmental impacts and proposed mitigation measures.

The DCR is being filed for public review from March 11, 2020 to April 10, 2020, and is available on the project website (www.argylebridge.ca) and at the following locations during regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Hamilton District Office 119 King Street West, 9th floor Hamilton, Ontario

Lil`NHL History: 49 years from Little Current to Nipissing First Nation QUINLYN STAATS

quin@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Its that time of year again!

On March 15-19th, 2020, the Little Native Hockey League, or more popularly known as the ‘Lil NHL, will be hosting its 49th annual tournament in Nipissing First Nation.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Lil NHL is an annual (and the largest) First Nations organized youth hockey tournament in Canada that is hosted throughout Ontario. The league was founded by 5 people back in 1971 who had a vision to start a one of a kind tournament and experience for First Nations Youth.

The backbone of the league was built on the foundation of four pillars: education, respect, citizenship and sportsmanship. The main goal of the tournament was to foster pride, personal growth and teamwork in the young players, while instilling strong values to enable the youth to become powerful, confident, and prepared leaders of our future. As well, it’s a wholesome opportunity for the kids to come together and create lasting memories and friendships.

In 1971, Earl Abotossaway, former Chief Jim McGregor, late James D. Debassige, the late Reverend Leonard Self, and late Norman Debassige organized the very first tournament over Christmas break in Little Current.

At the time, 17 teams and approximately 200 players were registered to participate. Since its inception, the roster has grown from those 200 players to a record-breaking registry of over 228 teams this year, with last years participants hitting approximately 3,000 Little NHL’ers.

In the past, smaller cities such as Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie had hosted the tournament, but are no longer able to do so due to the demands of the increasing size that is growing exponentially with each year.

Among the previous First Nations hosts include: Aundeck Omni

Kaning, Curve Lake, Fort William, Dokis, Garden River, M’Chigeeng, Nipissing, Sagamok, Saugeen, Six Nations, Walpole Island, Wausauksing, Wikwemikong, Whitefish Lake and White Fish River.

As for Nippising First Nation, it has the means to keep up with the demands and will remain the host city until the league’s 50th anniversary in 2021 under the supervision of

current President Marian Jacko, a member of the Wikwemkoong unceded territory.

This year’s tournament is looking at hosting about 519 games over a fourday period on 15 different ice rinks including the Hershey Centre, Iceland, Meadowvale, Tomken Arenas and the Carmen Corbasson Community Centre and Arena. Teams will be divided by age, gender,

and level of competition.

Nippising First Nation is classified as an Urban Reserve, and is located on the North shore of Lake Nipissing, approximately 320kilometers North of Toronto. Its land base spans over about 30kilometers between North Bay (to the East) and the Municipality of West Nipissing (to the West).

Known as the Nbisiing Anishinaabeg, members are

of Ojibway and Algonquin descent. Archaeological studies indicate that the lake and its environment have been occupied for 10,000 years.

Nipissing First Nation prides itself on being a progressive Nation that emphasizes fairness, accountability, balance and consideration of future generations in all decision makings.

Many former former

Little NHL’ers have since gone on to compete in various levels and leagues of hockey including “AA”, “AAA”, Tier ll, Junior B, College/University, OHL and NHL.

SIX NATIONS — The Iroquois Lacrosse Arena took to hosting this weekends selection of the Arena Lacrosse League match ups.

This brought together the St. Catharines Shockwave, who sit in fifth place of the division, and the Toronto Monarchs, who sit in last place.

In regards to scoring, Shockwave took the upper hand early on with 10 first period goals. Layne Smith, Kedoh Hill (2), Anthony Patterson, Caleb Wiles (2), Alex Henry, Kurts Woodland, Bryan Neufield and Wayne Hill each put one

away before moving onto the next quarter.

The second period seen three more buries from Kedoh Hill for a hat trick, Layne Smith for his second and Caleb Wiles for a hat trick as well. The Monarchs were able to put some away, bring the game an inch closer at 6-13.

In the third, only Caleb Wiles was able to put one away, bringing the game closer again at 10-14.

But in the fourth, mustering up the power to take off, the Shockwave seen goals from Anthony Patterson, Caleb Wiles for his fifth and sixth, Chris Attwood, Kedoh Hill for his fourth and fifth, and Isaac Vandersalm.

This ended the match 21-13 for the Shockwave.

On the other end of the day, the Peterborough Timbermen and the Paris RiverWolves offered up an even showing.

The Timbermen opened with three goals in the first, answered by one from the RiverWolves.

The Timbermen then broke the scoring again in the second, with two fast ones. While the RiverWolves responded with three of their own, the Timbermen closed the period with one more.

This brought the game to a close 6-4.

Both sides offered up two goals in the third each, maintaining the lead for Peterborough. But

in the fourth, the RiverWolves upped the ante with a lead in sight, earning a two point lead after Kyle Dawson put away three singles by himself for a hat trick.

But the Timbermen didn’t want to give up the victory, and returned two more goals. The RiverWolves responded with one more, creating an over time worthy tie. After a five minute battle to score, the Timbermen were the ones that wanted it more and ended the game 1211.

The next home game to be hosted at the ILA will put up the Six Nations Snipers against the RiverWolves on Sunday, March 15 at 2 p.m..

TWO ROW TIMES

HAGERSVILLE--- Make no mistake, Team Ontario U16 Boys lacrosse coach Ryan Dejonge is serious about leading his team to another North American Indigenous Games gold.

On Sunday, March 1st. Dejorge was at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena where he was running the boys through what was the first of three tryouts for the upcoming summer games which are being played July 12-19th in Kjipuktuk (Halifax) and Milibrook First Nation.

"I'm not making any decisions based on today, I just want to see who has the drive and tenacity," Dejonge said prior to the first tryout. "We're serious about defending the gold."

When asked what the perfect Team Ontario player would look like,

The competition and skill level was high when on Sunday, March 1st. the Male 16U players took to the I.L.A. floor and impressed during what was the first Team Ontario tryouts. Team Ontario will be looking to defend their gold this summer at the Indigenous NAIG PHOTO BY NEIL BECKER Games.

Dejonge never hesitated before repying, "Someone

who is well rounded and doesn't quit. Someone

who gives a hundred percent. Today, were going to

There was lots of cardio drill being done at the first Male 16U Team Ontario tryouts. All these guys are looking to make that positive impression and represent Team Ontario at this summer's games. Prior to the 16U male tryouts, there were also tryouts held for the Male PHOTO BY NEIL BECKER 19U Team Ontario squad along with the Fenale 19U Team Ontario team.

do a lot of running so I can see who really digs deep. I want to see how they will react At the end their will be a scrimmage."

A lasting immage from the 2017 Summer N.A.I.G. games was Team Ontario U16 male sqaud achieving the ultimate goal when on July 20, 2017 at the I.L.A. they were led by a five goal outburst from Gregeory Elijah Brown, as they defeated Saskatchewan 9-2 to win gold.

Among those hopefuls looking to wear Team Ontario colors this summer is 15 year-old Deeland Martin who was working

hard and hoping to get noticed.

"I just wanted to play," Martin said about trying out. In terms of what it would mean to him winning gold with the U18 Male Team Ontario team, Martin said, "It would be pretty good. I just like everything about it."

Martin, who played last year for the Six Nations Midget 2 team, admitted to feeling a little nervous before taking the floor.

On this day, there were also tryouts being held for the defending N.A.I.G. gold medal lacrosse champions Male U-19 Team Ontario team along with the U-19 female Team Ontario squad who had a lot of talent on the floor.

Among those showcasing their talent during the U19 Female Team Ontario tryout was 15 year-old Six Nations Midget Girls player Kianna Thompson.

"It would mean a lot," Thompson said about making the team and competing for gold in Halifax. "It would be an honor representing Team Ontario in Halifax."

After being asked about her first tryout, Thompson just smiled before replying, "I just did my best.

That's all you can do. I got some good feedback and hopefully I have a good shot at making the team."

Obciously there were no decisions made as their as still a couple more tryout sessions to go.

McKinnon Park Blue Devils strike hockey gold NEIL BECKER

neil@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

CALEDONIA — The McKinnon Park Blue Devils didn't make it easy but they are once again are Haldimand Athletic Association Secondary School (HAASS) champions.

Hungry to successfully defend the title, McKinnon Park took control when on Wednesday March 4th at the Haldimand County Arena they jumped out to a 3-1 second period lead but needed a third period goal from Nathan Plummer to wrap up a 4-3 championship win against Dunnville.

"This is pretty cool," Blule Devils Grade 11 defenceman Preston Hill said.

"We moved the puck well and took lots of shots on net. This was more about having fun."

Dunnville, who were riding the momentum of a semi-finals shootout victory against Hagersville, scored that pivital opening goal against the Blue Devils in taking a 1-0 lead heading to the second.

The Blue Devils stepped up the pressure by dominating in territorial play; they generated countless

chances before being rewarded with three straight goals Getting things started was forward Trent Randall who from the slot picked the top corner on a hard wrister for his first two which with eight minutes remaining in the first squared things up at 1-1.

Continuing to press, McKinnon Park were rewarded with two more goals from Randall with his second and a single from Jacob Tinebera as they were in control up 3-1

heading to what would be a real momentum swinging third.

"I was excited that we got the lead," Hill said.

When asked about what it would mean for his team to go on and win SOSSA, Hill commented, "It would be a pretty cool achievement."

Dunnville wasn't about to quit as they scored two in the third to set the stage for Plummer to make some school hockey history by coming back from injury abd with only 1:22 to go,

Rising Stars Basketball at Dajoh

OHSWEKEN — The U14 and U12 Rising Stars Basketball team representing Six Nations played games throughout the day on Sunday at the Dajoh Youth and Elders Centre, welcoming teams from Hamilton and Woodstock.

score that Haldimand Athletic Association boys school championship winning goal.

Next step for the Blue Devils will be SOSSA. "We had lots of shots.

This is more about having fun, but I'm pretty excited," Hill said.

Meanwhile the McKinnon Park Blue Devils girls came close but didn't strike gold as they had lots of chances but fell short in Championship action by a 2-0 score against Cayuga.

"Winning the first game

(against Dunnville) was a highlight," Blue Devils Shay Martin said. "We had lots of scoring chances," Among those having great chances was forward Keloni Thomas whose best chance came when she was foiled on a second period breakaway.

"It's tough. I was going to go to my backhand," Thomas said about the breakaway. "They (Cayuga) outworked us and we didn't come out strong in the first."

Heading intp playoffs, the Blue Devils Girls had just clinched an undefeated regular season, and were on a mission to bring home gold.

'They all knew that six girls (players) were gradulating and wanted to win for them and keep on playing (at SOSSA) next week," Blue Devils Girls co-coach Dave MacDonald said. "Keloni showed leadership and really hustled all year. Shay is a Grade 9 and she is going to be a really good player. She has a great future for hockey.

Alexis Hill is also a really good hockey player but couldn't play because she was injured."

McKinnon Park has reason to feel pride as they take home a gold in boys hockey and silver in girls which is impressive.

McKinnon Park Blue Devils Shay Martin (#4) and Keloni Thomas (#8) both had several quality opportunities on Wednesday, March 4th during the Haldimand County girls high school hockey championship game which saw them drop a 2-0 decision at the Haldimand County Arena against the Cayuga Warrriors.

Other: This was one of 6 accepted entries in the Hamilton Film Festival’s 2019 Film Challenge Translation, 3m, by Shane Pennells: A recently-deceased man must come to grips with his own mortality and separation from his family. Other: The film was done for an online film contest and came in 12th out of 220 worldwide submissions Intentional Blindness, 5m, by Cher Obediah: Intentional Blindness is based on a Six Nations land claim that captured national attention in 2006.

The small town of Caledonia in southern Ontario flooded with media and violence. A lack of education on Indigenous history played a significant role in the destruction at that time. Years later, long time Indigenous educator Rick Hill shares his thoughts on how it happened, what

went wrong and more importantly his winning formula for the future.

Tekahionwake, 20m,

by Shelly Niro: A short plethora of poetry written

by E. Pauline Johnson, a Mohawk from Six Nations Reserve. She went onto perform across Canada, the USA and Britain at the turn of the 20th century As the Curator and Host, Obediah started out in theatre at a young age and followed that path through college. After years of honing her craft she launched her own production company and began to focus on film. Obediah has a passion for projects relating to Indigenous issues, reconciliation, cultural reconnection, youth initiatives, inequality and injustice. Her work has taken her across Canada into the United States and overseas, but her favourite place is within her creative community in Hamilton Ontario.

BRANTFORD — Currently hung wall-to-wall in an open gallery at the Woodland Cultural Centre (WCC) is the Quilt of Belonging, a beautiful, rainbow hued artwork quilt that incorporates the artwork from around the world.

This monumental artwork, Canada’s most comprehensive textile art project, is the work of volunteers from Victoria to Newfoundland to the Arctic Circle. From across Canada, participants were invited to contribute their talents and ideas, reflected through the prism of their cultural backgrounds.

The range of materials is astonishing, from sealskin to African mud-cloth, from embroidered silk to gossamer wings of butterflies.

A richly hued portrait of the human family, Quilt of Belonging is a 120 foot, or 36 metre, long collabora-

tive textile art project. Its 263 blocks portray the rich cultural legacies of all the Indigenous Peoples in Canada and every nation of the world at the dawn of the new Millennium.

The quilt is now over 20 years old, as the textiles that make the piece were commissioned in 1998 by artist Esther Bryan. It has travelled over 80,000 kilometres and been shown in 40 quilt shows.

Over 3 million visitors have seen the Quilt while the Quilt of Belonging companion book is

in its fifth printing and the 48-minute documentary is receiving rave reviews. This artwork is also used in a variety of projects and education programs, creating an impact nationally and around the world.

The quilt is to be held within a Woodland Cultural Centre gallery from February 29 to May 9, 2020.

Located in Brantford, Ontario, the centre features the art, history and culture of Southern Ontario’s First Nations, making the quilt a beautiful addition.
