Tim Hortons raises thousands for Everlasting Tree School STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — The annual Smile Cookie campaign at Tim Hortons made a sizeable donation to the Everlasting Tree School this week.

A total of $8275 was presented to the school and its students on Thursday.

“Every year we alternate schools between the Everlasting Tree School and Kawenniio. It’s for the children — that’s what the Smile Cookies are all about,” said Tim Horton’s Operations Manager Kim Porter. “The owner, Landon Miller, he decided that a long time ago. And every year it gets better and better. The first year we raised $2000, and then the next year it was $5000 and now we’re up to $8000 and hopefully next year we’ll go to $10,000.”

Each year, Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada raise money for local initiatives through the sale of Smile Cookies. On Six Nations, both the Ohsweken and Highway 54 locations raise money for one full week and for every cookie that is sold, $1 goes to that year’s initiative — this year, to the Everlasting Tree School.

The school was started in 2010 and fuses Haudenosaunee culture and

Highway 6 at Fourth Line was closed and traffic rerouted as a solidarity roadblock was put up over the weekend.

teachings together with Mohawk language immersion and the principles of Waldorf Education. The school has grown every year and has an enrolment of 66 students this year.

“Were very thankful for the donation every year, it goes toward our nutrition program here which is a huge part of what we do.

We provide the children with snacks and lunch everyday.”

In the past the parents paid a small fee for the nutrition program, but when the pandemic hit the school opted to waive the nutrition program fees for parents

due to the financial strain of the pandemic that many families were experiencing but also as a recognition of undoing the harms of residential school.

“To us, everything we do here is directly addressing the impacts of residential school. You know, the awful nutrition and experience the children had there.

We want to nourish our children with healthy and nutritious food that is prepared in a super loving and nutritious way. The students just put our school gardens to bed and we have a community soup that we put on once a week.”

Hwy. 6 closed in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en Nation DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES

The Hwy. 6 bypass in Caledonia was shut down over the weekend by Six Nations allies in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en Nation in British Columbia over a long-standing pipeline protest.

Skyler Williams, a spokesperson for Land Back Lane in Caledonia, said it was shut down in support of the Wet’suwet’en people after two people were arrested near a Coastal GasLink pipeline construction camp near Houston, B.C. Thursday.

“The Wet’suwet’en have

put out a call for solidarity action,” Williams said in a social media post Thursday. The bypass was closed off between Greens Road and Argyle Street early last Thursday afternoon. “We are here to stand with them. We are witnessing genocide happen before our very eyes.

Canada has built roads and railways and pipelines across our territories and poisoned our waters, killed wildlife, and we’re not going to let them use this colonial infrastructure to keep stealing our resources.”

He said Canada is using the RCMP to force Indigenous people from the land, after spending

almost $20 million in the past two years to police a blockade on traditional Wet’suwet’en territory.

The Wet’suwet’en people have been protesting the development of a pipeline throughout their traditional territory in British Columbia.

“No more development without consent,” said Williams. “The days of forcing us from our territory is over.”

The RCMP said in a release that two protesters were arrested for alleged theft of Coastal GasLink equipment.

The bypass remained closed over the weekend before re-opening Monday morning.

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation are heading to the polls this December, with two familiar candidates possibly vying for the Chief’s position.

Preliminary nominations were selected on Saturday, meaning can-

didates have been nominated and seconded by a community member but they have until tomorrow (Nov. 4) to withdraw their names.

Jai King-Green, who was nominated for a councillor position, has already withdrawn her name via a Facebook post.

Two long-running candidates have been nominated for Chief, including incumbent Chief Stacey

Laforme. Larry Sault, a former chief and councillor, was also nominated for the Chief’s position.

Chief Stacey Laforme has held his position since 2015, when former longtime Chief Bryan LaForme passed the torch and announced he would not run again.

Also nominated for one of seven council seats are: Evan Sault (incumbent), Veronica King-Jamieson

(incumbent), Ashley Sault, Erma Ferrell (incumbent), Fawn Sault, Kim Sault, Casey Jonathan, Karen Andrea King, and Ralph Kelly Laforme.

Withdrawal forms must be handed in by 6 p.m. on Nov. 4. The polling station for the general election will open at 9 a.m. on Dec. 11 at the Mississaugas of the Credit Community Centre. Polls close at 8 p.m.

Ontario commits just $400,000 over three years for grave search at Mush Hole STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — Six Nations says the province is not providing enough financial support for searching the grounds of the former Mohawk Institute Residential School.

In a letter to the premier, Elected Chief Mark Hill said the Indian Affairs deputy minister would only commit $400,000 over three years to conduct the search.

Chief Hill said the offer was contrary to reconciliation efforts committed to by the premier.

The Survivors Secretariat, which was set up to lead the search of the former residential school ground for unmarked graves, has requested $6 million dollars over the next three years to complete its work.

Meanwhile, Ontario plans to spend $36 million on mental health and addictions supports in Indigenous communities.

The province says $20 million in programs will go to supporting survivors of residential schools.

It says the money is for trauma-informed and culturally appropriate supports as Indigenous organizations search for burial sites near former residential schools in Ontario.

Another $16 million is being earmarked for mental health and addictions supports for children and youth, victim healing services, and an Indigenous-led response to opioid use and related deaths.

The province says it recognizes that recent discoveries of burial sites found near residential schools around Canada have increased the demand for services.

Ontario Regional Chief Glen Hare says the opioid crisis, the pandemic and recent burial-site discoveries add up to a ``perfect storm'' of mental health needs.

He says the funding announced Friday will help offer Indigenous-focused support as residential school survivors, families and communities heal from intergenerational trauma.

Keeping erosion of Grand River shore at bay Fishing derby fundraiser helps Kayanase restore Chiefswood Park banks JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Industry leaders in ecological restoration, Kayanase, started a project to help combat erosion along the Grand River, beginning at Chiefswood Park. A fishing derby organized by Holdon Vyse and Kylee Vyse donated its earnings towards the project.

“It’s our river, right?

So we have to take care of it as best we can,” said Holdon. “If there’s anything we can do to keep the river and its banks healthier, longer, I want to help out.”

Kayanase is an ecological restoration and native plant and seed business based on the Six Nations of the Grand River territory.

“Our organization is about restoring Mother Earth holistically, through the collection of native seeds, to seed processing, seed propagation, planting, monitoring, and eventually back to healthful biodiversity,” says Kayanase’s website. “We are dedicated to improving the health of Mother Earth using science-based

approaches and Traditional Ecological knowledge.”

Holdon said he heard about the project from a friend of his who was spearheading the project from Kayanase. He and his family wanted to help, so they partnered with Grand Passage Outlet and put together the fishing derby that ran from early summer to Labour Day weekend. Participants registered at Grand Passage Outlet and sent in pictures of their catches and measurements to Holdon.

Some of the other partners and sponsors were Bison Baits, Mudcat Milling, and Joe Ford Fishing.

Joe Ford Fishing donated a one-day charter as a prize to one of the winners.

Work on the banks began once the derby was over. Holdon and his wife Kylee, along with their daughter Savannah, joined a team from Kayanase to begin beefing up the banks around Chiefswood Park in hopes of stopping or preventing any more erosion of the shore.

“There’s been an issue with the banks for years now. We have probably already lost 30 feet of bank at Chiefswood Park,” said Holdon. “The bank erodes into the water, making

silt on the bottom, which disrupts the habitat for a lot of species.”

Holdon said he brought a tractor out to help the team place banana cloth along the banks, stapled into the bank with small trees to keep the cloth there.

“The idea is that the little stakes, willow stakes I think, take hold where we placed them. The trees or branches would keep the cloth there long enough for the trees to grow to a good size.”

Holdon said the most challenging part of the day was walking along the slippery banks. Other than that, the weather was great and everyone involved had a great time helping out with the project.

“We covered about 100 feet along the banks,” he said. “I sure would hope we can plant more.”

Kayanase offers a full range of services for ecological restoration that promotes the conservation of natural biodiversity and habitat protection while using an adaptive management strategy to account for the constantly changing characteristics of land, weather, and human influences.

New website makes national forum for two spirit youth NAHNDA GARLOW

A new website has been launched this week, giving two-spirited youth a place of belonging on the world wide web.

The 2 Spirits in Motion Society announced the website, 2spirityouth.ca, and held an online official launch ceremony for the virtual space.

The website is a hub of information, advice, advocacy and support

for two-spirit youth aged 18-29 to tell their stories and connect through lived experiences as two-spirit, indigiqueer, 2SLGBTQIIAA+ people.

Jack Saddleback, Chairperson of the 2 Spirits in Motion Society, is from the Samson Cree Nation. He welcomed the new website and said it is a long time coming for indigenous two-spirited people, in particular youth, to find a space online to connect and relate to one another’s stories.

The website acts as a

national hub for two-spirit youth and brings forward stories of coping with barriers for queer and two-spirit youth in Canada, explaining what gender and sexual identity looks like across the indigenous world, how two-spirit youth are making an impact across the country and highlighting two-spirit youth stories.

The Society is also creating a new podcast, which will be available on the site in January 2022.

The website can be viewed at 2spirityouth.ca.

A vote for Canada or Indigenous Nationhood?

New program from Six The complexities of First Nations, Metis and Inuit Nations Justice Note: The western word This gives the comparticipation in Canadian voting Offender has been changed munity some control, as

By Chadwick Cowie, Faculty Lecturer, Department of Political Science, McGill University The question of Indigenous participation in Canada's elections is repeatedly in the news.

Nunavut held its territorial election on On Oct. 25, and Canada's 44th federal election concluded earlier this fall.

Some of the likely reasons it was top of mind recently are reconciliation and the number of unmarked graves of Indigenous children found at Canada's most notorious attempt at getting rid of Indigenous Peoples: ``Residential Schools.''

The question of Indigenous participation in Canadian electoral politics is one that is constantly debated among First Nations, Metis and Inuit Peoples. I don't think many Canadians consider whether or not Indigenous Peoples should participate in Canada's electoral process at all.

When addressing this topic, it's important to consider differing views and citizenship — especially because most research doesn't. Making up a small percentage of Canada's electorate — 4.9 per cent of Canada's population (this number doesn't take into account eligible voters) — it is often argued that it is imperative that Indigenous Peoples vote in order to be heard and adequately represented.

What is not considered in this conversation is

the historical formation of the Canadian state and what ``citizenship'' and enfranchisement mean for Indigenous Peoples. As someone who has studied this extensively — let's get into it.

First Nations citizenship When discussing First Nations citizenship, it is important to note that, like the term ``Indigenous,'' it is a blanket term that represents over 50 different nations and confederacies — all of which have different legal, political and socio-economic structures.

First Nations constantly remind Canada of the concept of nation-to-nation relationships, which inadvertently enforces the notion that they never agreed to being a part of the Canadian state in the first place.

As British colonies grew and formed the Dominion of Canada and subsequent confederation, citizenship and enfranchisement became a tool that attempted to erase and destroy First Nations.

When citizenship and enfranchisement was eventually given to First Nations people in 1960, the reason for doing so was not to recognize a nation-to-nation relationship. It was because of the idea that Canadian citizenship would further integrate First Nations into Canadian society, assist with socio-economic issues and help Canada in continuing to ignore First Nations autonomy, nationhood and their own

citizenship.

Metis citizenship For Metis men, Canadian citizenship was granted by the Manitoba Act in 1870. Their rights and identity as Metis were quickly eclipsed in the 1880s and `90s as they were targeted and the tyranny of the democratic majority was used to repel much of their recognition.

After the expansion of citizenship to Metis women in 1917, most Metis had to hide their identity, claiming to be Francophone, to avoid persecution.

The Constitution Act of 1982 recognized Metis as a distinct group that required inclusion and their rights be recognized.

Since 1982, there has been strong movement on Metis recognition and their rights confirmed.

Inuit citizenship For Inuit, Canadian citizenship was granted in 1951, but the ability to vote or participate in electoral politics was denied well into the 1970s as ballot boxes and ballots were withheld from many Inuit.

Inuit rights and territorial rights were heavily ignored until the 1980s.

In fact, one could argue that granting Canadian citizenship to Inuit was less about giving the rights of a citizen and more about using Inuit as human flagpoles as Canada sought to solidify its claims of sovereignty in the Arctic.

A delayed recognition of citizenship means something For many First Nations,

Volume 9, Issue 15 Make advertising cheques payable to:

Garlow Media

Metis and Inuit, Canadian citizenship did not and has not equated to belonging within the Canadian state but rather another form of degradation of Indigenous rights, recognition and nationhood.

For many, Canadian citizenship has been used to further entrench Canadian sovereignty and legitimacy while ignoring Canada's colonial legacy and ongoing settler-colonialism. Canadian citizenship has been utilized in a matter that leads to misunderstanding, and a Canadian-centric view on nation-to-nation relations.

For those who fall under the blanket term ``Indigenous,'' participating in Canadian elections continues the legitimacy of the Canadian state, a state that has unilaterally imposed its will, and its settler-colonial presence on not only their territories but also their nations and themselves.

Many Indigenous Peoples opt to not participate for this reason.

But those who choose to participate, do so as citizens of their nations; they do this as a way to not only remind Canada of the nation-to-nation relationships that continue to exist and as a way to bring change from within the very structure that has been used to erase them.

A structure that taught Canadians to forget that Canada is built on over 50 different nations and confederacies that have their own political, legal and socio-economic structures that were never given up.

to Harmer and the Victim will become the Harmed.

There is a new program coming to Six Nations from the Six Nations Justice Department. We have received information from one of the institutions that two individuals want to return back to the community. An Advisory Committee will determine if a return to the community is feasible or not, based on reports and a series of questions.

Section 84 was introduced by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) in 1992 to address the overrepresentation of Aboriginal peoples in federal prisons in Canada.

The Indigenous population has increased by 52.1 per cent, while the white population has decreased by 23.5 per cent. The intent of Section 84 is to collaborate with Aboriginal communities and harmers in the prerelease planning for Aboriginal harmers.

It applies to Aboriginal harmers who want to serve their eventual conditional or statutory release back on their reservation or in an urban area. It also applies to harmers who are subject to long term supervision orders.

There is a lengthy process that has to take place by the harmer if they want to return to the community or urban area.

They need to follow and complete the Path Home: Release Planning Kit - Section 84 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. It’s not just a simple process of saying you want to return home.

opposed to the harmer returning to the community without any plans or notice. There is an Advisory Committee who will obtain information on the harmer and ask them a series of questions before giving their decision on whether the harmer should return to the community or not. The final decision is with the Canadian Parole Board, (CPB).

Without Section 84, when a harmer has completed his or her time they can just return, with no plan. With Section 84, the harmer has a plan to follow, given supports, and has someone giving them direction and guidance.

There will also be a time when the harmer and harmed will need to have a circle to start the healing process, where possible.

We are currently seeking additional volunteers to sit on the Advisory Committee. We are looking for individuals who have some knowledge about Restorative Justice or sees things from a Haudenosaunee world view. Due to scheduling requirements, our meetings with the harmer occur during the day and our Advisory Committee meetings take place in the evening.

Flags to be raised then lowered The Canadian Press OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is confident a ``solution'' will be reached to allow Canada to honour its war dead on Remembrance Day by lowering the flag to half-mast.

Trudeau gave his strongest indication yet on Tuesday that the national flag could be raised and then lowered again at federal buildings on Remembrance Day. Speaking at a news conference during climate talks in Glasgow, the prime minister said the government is working closely with Indigenous groups to find ways to lower the flag to half-mast on Nov. 11.

Traditionally the flag is lowered on Remembrance Day to pay tribute to veterans and Canada's war dead.

The flag has been flying at half-mast at federal buildings since late May, after the location of what are believed to be hundreds of unmarked graves at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.

Trudeau has suggested it would be up to Indigenous people to determine when to hoist it again.

He said Tuesday that talks with Indigenous leaders and communities about the issue are ongoing and that he is optimistic about reaching the ``right solution.'' ``There is an understanding of how important it is to be able to lower the flags on Remembrance Day to mark our veterans, to mark people _ including Indigenous Peoples _ who have stepped up to fight for Canadian values and paid the ultimate sacrifice,'' he said. ``I am confident that the conversations with Indigenous leadership on making sure we lower the flag once again on Nov. 11 will come to the right solution.''

RoseAnne Archibald, the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, will meet this week with the executive of the organization to discuss its position, her spokesman said.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the

Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said residential school survivors should play a key part in deciding whether to raise the flag. ``We need to respect the residential school survivor movement,'' he said. ``Whatever consensus they reach should be respected.''

Lynne Groulx, the CEO of the Native Women's Association of Canada, said: ``We must respect the veterans, many of whom were Indigenous. We must find a way to honour them appropriately on Remembrance Day with traditional flag-related ceremonies. But a solution must be found in which the children who perished at residential schools are also honoured and respected.''

A two-minute silence at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 _ marking the time and date of the armistice at the end of the First World War _ will accompany the lowering of the flag, along with the laying of wreaths and the Last Post bugle call.

Spectators, wearing masks and distancing, will be able to attend the ceremony in Ottawa.

Reflections from an Indigenous Veteran November 8 is Indigenous Veterans Day, a day to honour the important contributions made by First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans in service to Canada. The Centre of Excellence on PTSD is proud to be able to support the unique mental health and wellness needs of Indigenous Veterans and their Families. On Indigenous Veterans Day, we will be reflecting on these words from Shauna Mulligan:

"Many Indigenous Veterans and service members I have worked with have claimed how participating in traditional teachings and Indigenous healing ways have helped them manage their mental health symptoms and Moral Injuries. It is not only a Veteran-centric approach, but components of Indigenous cultural knowledge and teachings help bridge gaps and provide culturally specific care.

Resources for Veterans and their Families For Veteran Families and Friends: https://veteransmentalhealth.ca/ resources/family-and-friends/ PTSD and Some Options for Therapy: https://veteransmentalhealth.ca/ resources/ptsd/

In having cultural-specific supports, like ceremonies and traditional teachings, many are able to begin their healing journey and restore their identities as Ogichidaa*. They in turn take up positions of leadership for their own communities."

TWO ROW TIMES

How did the City of Brantford and surrounding communities grow and prosper on land set aside for Haudenosaunee people more than 200 years ago?

Noted Tuscarora historian Rick Hill, of Six Nations of the Grand River, gave a rudimentary explanation of the convoluted history of settlement, squatting and sometimes, forced expulsion, along the Haldimand Tract lands during a webinar session as part of Laurier Brantford’s Social Justice and Solidarity Week sessions Oct. 25 to Oct. 29.

Haudenosaunee people were granted a tract of land comprising about 950,000 acres along the Grand River after being displaced from their homelands in upper New York State after the American Revolutionary War in 1784.

It was granted as compensation for lost lands, said Hill.

A few hundred Haude-

nosaunee people inhabited the area around what is today modern-day Brantford in the early 1800s. It was so named after Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant, and was called Brant’s Ford, or Brant’s Crossing before being incorporated.

Around 1830, the population around Brantford began to grow significantly, said Hill. In 1830, Hill says chiefs gave 800 acres of land along the Grand River to the Crown.

“Brantford started, really, when the chiefs said, ‘okay you can have this 800 acres.’”

By 1847, it was incorporated as a town.

Hill said there’s been controversy over the exact surveying of the Haldimand Tract since it was first granted by then-governor Sir Frederick Haldimand. It was difficult to say what constituted exactly six miles along either side of the Grand River from its mouth to its source.

At the time, Chief Joseph Brant, who had led the Mohawks in war against the Americans as allies with the British

Crown, had a vision to ensure the people had an income from the Haldimand lands, said Hill.

“In order for the people to sustain themselves on the Haldimand Tract, they needed to have an annual income. He was going to guarantee our income by leasing blocks of land to non natives. Brant also believed that non-native style agriculture was the future for haudenosaunee people.”

In 1797, a decade after the Haldimand agreement was made, Hill said Brant granted about 302,000 acres of land away in leases from the original 950,000 acres in the Haldimand Tract.

Today, the official Six Nations reserve comprises only about 40,000 acres, or about five per cent, of the original tract.

At points throughout history, the Crown tried to sell land that the chiefs didn’t agree to, said Hill.

Fraudulent sales took place.

At one time, the Haudenosaunee were consid-

ered us valuable allies but that started to change after the War of 1812.

“They (colonists) began to think differently about that,” said Hill.

Eventually what arose was “the Indian question” he said, which left colonizers with four options: exterminate native people, enslave them, isolate them on reserves, or assimilate them.

“They chose the last two. It was a conscious decision, to focus on those two aspects.”

By 1911 the land around Brantford started to collapse. Government policy shifted to concentrating native people onto reserves to protect them from white settlers.

“The government assumed they had the right to protect our land from imposition (to protect from settlers) but on the other hand, the government was orchestrating the loss of our lands,” said Hill. “When the person who says they have authority over your lands turns around and duplicitously gives the land to other people, what’s your recourse? Back then, we didn’t have any recourse.”

The government issued an order to Six Nations to surrender their lands and move onto the reserve as the only way to protect them from squatters. For a number of reasons, said Hill, some chiefs agreed to that, but other chiefs didn’t.

“We’ve been fighting over this ever since.”

Some of the squatters were evicted. Some of

them refused to leave.

By 1853 many squatters refused to leave and even evicted Six Nations people with axes and torches and chased them out of the villages around Cainsville and elsewhere, said Hill.

Around the same time, the so-called “Indian Department” established a trust fund for Six Nations people. The money was used to fund the department of Indian Affairs, the building of the Mohawk Institute Residential School, as well as funding the infrastructure of Canada.

Hill says the current balance is $634 million, “so when people complain, ‘the natives are a burden on the taxpayer,’ I think we can say just the opposite is true – the taxpayer is a burden on the natives because they’ve been living off this money.

Imagine what $630 million could have done (for Six Nations). Our money went into investing into the infrastructure of Canada. They took our money and built up all around us.”

In the 1920s, Six Nations said enough is enough. They delegated Chief Deskaheh (Levi General) to go overseas to try to get their case heard before the new League of Nations.

“Rather than deal with all of Six Nations issues, the government decided, ‘let’s get rid of the complainer.’ In 1924, they got rid of the chiefs out of the council house and forced an elected system in

community, where only a couple dozen people voted. We’ve been in conflict ever since. It’s a typical divide and conquer tactic.”

Today, Six Nations people have been standing up and refusing one more inch of land to be taken. This past spring, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council issued a moratorium on all development along the Haldimand Tract. Numerous land reclamations have sprung up in the past decade.

“Unfortunately, we have to take very drastic stances to get attention to these matters,” said Hill.

“We all know this Land Back movement started not only here, but across Canada and all across the Western Hemisphere.”

“We could argue forever who owns the land, who stole the land, who should compensate us for that loss,” said Hill, “but I think we gotta wake up and realize, especially with climate change, what’s happening to the land. We have to set aside our petty monetary differences. We are advised to tread softly upon the ground, Look at the city of Brantford.

Where’s the treading softly? It’s all covered in concrete, and asphalt. Sooner or later we’ve gotta say, ‘enough is enough.’ What kind of world are our children going to enter? What have we done to ensure this world is safe, healthy and sane?”

“That’s pretty heavy-duty stuff to think about.”

Brantford looking to hire Indigenous liaison STAFF REPORT

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — City officials are hoping that the creation of a new Indigenous affairs officer will improve relationships with Six Nations and the Mississaugas.

Counsellor Joshua Wall

put forward a motion for an Indigenous affairs officer to be hired immediately.

The motion was supported and funding for the position or salary amounts were not disclosed.

City council wants to proceed with hiring that person immediately, but

local residents and indigenous allies are asking council to delay the hiring, concerned that rushing to fill the position does not guarantee finding an appropriate candidate with the right knowledge base to truly engage with Indigenous communities on the issues.

Price held a 13-9 with stats of 2.28 goals-against average, .924 save percentage and one shutout in the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season.

He did not take part in training camp after having arthroscopic surgery in New York on July 22 to repair a torn meniscus, with the Canadiens saying at the time his full recovery would take 10-12 weeks. He then resumed skating by Sept. 16 and talks told that he was in the Canadiens gym and medical clinic almost every day getting back into shape before entering the

program.

But Price entered the assistance program on Oct. 7 and was expected to be away from the team for 30 days. While a specific return date is still to be determined, Friday would mark the end of his time in the program after dealing with what the team called a non-COVID-related-illness.

Jake Allen took over as the team’s starter with Sam Montembeault being picked up on waivers to be the backup, and Montreal has struggled to start

the season going 2-8-0 in their first 10 games.

Price is entering his 15th NHL season with the Canadiens and in the fourth year of an eightyear, $84 million contract.

Throughout his career, Price has appeared in six All-Star Games, won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender, as well as the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay award, in the 2014-15 season. He also led Canada to a gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

TWO ROW TIMES

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers were pleased to announce last month that the club would host an Indigenous Celebration Night on Monday, Nov. 1 as the Pacific Division rival Seattle Kraken make their first-ever regular season visit to Rogers Place.

To commemorate the celebration of culture and the creativity of the Indigenous communities of Northern Alberta, the Oilers collaborated with designer and artist Lance Cardinal of Bigstone Cree Nation, who created a beautiful logo. The logo was to be incorporated into the game presentation and other future initiatives as the team looks to deepen its connection with the Indigenous communities of the Oiler’s home.

ASC announces 2022 host nation

By TRT Staff, with notes from the ASC website NOVA SCOTIA — In a media release, the Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) announced the host for the 2022 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships (NAHC), which has been awarded to Membertou, Nova Scotia.

The event is set to take place May 7-14, 2022 at the Membertou Sport and Wellness Centre with over 500 participants expected to be in attendance for the NAHC. Membertou has a long history of hosting national level events, including the 2018 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships, and the Membertou National Aboriginal Hockey Championships Society held the official an-nouncement event last month.

“Membertou is thrilled to welcome back the National Aboriginal Hockey Championship in May 2022. Hockey is a sport that means so much to our community, and we look forward to welcoming Indigenous talent from across Canada to our ice,” said Chief Terry Paul, Membertou, in the ASC

release.

“As a representative of our Board of Directors and staff, I want to thank Membertou, Nova Sco-tia for stepping in and hosting the 2022 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships.

Membertou hosted an extremely successful Championship in 2018 and the ASC has great confidence that Membertou will host a fantastic event in May 2022,” said Rob Newman, ASC President in the ASC release.

“When the pandemic hit we went through two tough years without the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. The COVID-19 fourth wave created a continued strain in many parts of the country and led to the 2022 NAHC no longer being scheduled in Regina. I want to thank Chief Terry Paul and the Membertou First Nation for ensuring the Championships are not missed for a third straight year and for welcoming us to their traditional territory. We are excited to be return-ing to Membertou in 2022,” said Jeff Spencer, ASC Hockey Committee Chair,

in the ASC release.

“After two years of postponements of the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships, the ASC is incredibly grateful that Membertou is providing a way for our Indigenous youth to hit the ice in 2022. I recognize that the timeline for planning such a significant event is a short one and ASC staff will be on-hand to help in any way we possibly can,” said Sandi Swanigan, ASC Interim CEO, in the ASC release.

The ASC established the NAHC in 2002 to serve as the premiere competition for young Indigenous hockey players in Canada.

It provides a forum for elite 13 to 17-year-old Indigenous male and female youth. It attracts participation from First Nation, Inuit and Metis across thirteen prov-inces and territories.

This annual event helps foster cultural unity and pride to celebrate the athletic abilities of Indigenous athletes from across the country.

Prior to a special rendition of the Canadian national anthem in both English and Cree sung by Kiya Bruno, a member of Samson Cree Nation, the

talents of powwow dancer Darrell Brertton Jr. from Saddle Lake Cree Nation were displayed.

Throughout the day, visitors who follow the Oilers on social media saw postings in both English and Cree, and the team is proud to support Native Counselling Services of Alberta as the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation online 50/50 partner that game day.

"We, at Native Counselling Services of Alberta, are pleased to accept the generous gift of the Oilers Foundation 50/50 net proceeds. These funds will allow us to expand our ability to provide increased services and supports to guide our people in healing from historic trauma," said Marlene Orr, Acting Executive Director, Native Counselling Services of Alberta.

“As children's graves continue to be found at Indian Residential Schools,

we acknowledge that reconciliation involves Indigenous people leading the healing with Indigenous people. We are grateful that the Oilers Foundation chose to support our work as an act of reconciliation and out of respect for our ability to work with our people. Thank you to all the fans who made this generous gift possible.”

"The Oilers are proud to have a long-standing relationship with the Indigenous community and we are fortunate to have so many passionate Indigenous fans who represent a vital part of the fabric of our club," said Tim Shipton, EVP, Corporate Affairs, Oilers Entertainment Group. "Monday night will not only be a celebration of culture but an opportunity to raise dollars and awareness for an important service.”

Want to reach out to an Indigenous scholar? Awesome! But first, here are 10 things to consider

By Jesse Popp, Assistant Professor, Chair in Indigenous Environmental Science, School of Environmental Studies, University of Guelph Although a wide diversity of world views exist, each having unique perspectives that can be complementary to one another, colonial forces have prioritized some world views and knowledge systems over others.

Some governments, including the government of Canada, have sought to forcibly assimilate Indigenous Peoples into colonial systems. Despite the ongoing consequences resulting from assimilation attempts — like residential schools and the `60s scoop — Indigenous knowledge systems and ways of knowing stand strong. Currently, a powerful shift is happening as people collectively recognize Indigenous knowledge systems as equally valid and important.

Indigenous knowledge

systems are extremely diverse. They come from various distinct nations, each with unique cultures and perspectives. Indigenous knowledge systems are place-based bodies of knowledge, practice, belief and ways of life that have been passed down through generations.

Sharing many philosophical and spiritual underpinnings, Indigenous knowledge systems, although strong alone, can be woven with western knowledge to provide holistic and complementary understandings.

Indigenous people increasingly approached As people recognize the value in weaving knowledge systems and move towards supporting reconciliation, Indigenous Peoples and communities are increasingly approached. Unfortunately, the past has been fraught with non-Indigenous people attempting to take Indigenous knowledges with little thought to the

impacts on communities.

This is changing.

Non-Indigenous people are recognizing the importance of proceeding with respect, and increasingly reach out to Indigenous scholars or communities for guidance on how to do so.

Although more Indigenous people are being welcomed into scholarly roles with expertise that can help guide processes ``in a good way,'' there are still very few holding these positions. Many Indigenous scholars forge ahead to passionately contribute to systemic change; however, as requests mount, and there's not enough time to go around, we are stretched incredibly thin.

As more and more people reach out to Indigenous scholars, the pressures increase. That needs to change. So, as an Indigenous scholar who is regularly inundated with

requests, I've come up with a few considerations to help those wishing to reach out to us.

Before reaching out to an Indigenous scholar: 1. Do research first. Is there a way you can find answers on your own? For example, from reading a book written by Indigenous authors, Googling or watching videos featuring Indigenous people sharing insights.

2. Recognize we have a lot of requests. Although we want to help with as much as we can, we often have many requests.

Please don't be offended if we just don't have time to interact.

3. Recognize we are not all the same. Indigenous Peoples are diverse. We have unique cultures, values and traditions and will not give the same response.

4. Just because we are Indigenous doesn't mean we know all things Indige-

nous. Like other scholars, we are experts in a given field. We are not experts in all things Indigenous.

5. Think about your intentions. Do your interests genuinely support reconciliation and prioritize the rights, values and ways of knowing of Indigenous Peoples?

6. Avoid box-ticking. At all costs, avoid reaching out if the purpose is to tick a box (like making your grant more ``Indigenous'').

7. Ensure your ideas include meaningful engagement. We want to collaborate in meaningful ways. Never tokenize us.

8. Prioritize reciprocity.

Is what you have in mind of mutual benefit? Think about how we might be able to help each other.

9. Consider compensation. As academics, we have a lot on our plates.

External requests are often above and beyond the duties of our paid po-

sitions. We have personal lives too. Finding ways to properly acknowledge and compensate us for our time is important.

10. Know that our ways of knowing are as equally valuable as yours. We may see through different lenses on some things, but our way of seeing and knowing is just as important as yours.

It is important to embrace multiple knowledge systems and ways of knowing to improve our work, improve our communities, improve our planet and work towards righting the wrongs of the past. However, it is equally important to do so in a positive way.

Equally valuing one another and prioritizing respectful engagement can help make us stronger, see more clearly and better address some of the enormous issues facing us today.

Tk'emlups Chief Rosanne Casimir says survivors would also expect the church to live up to legal and financial obligations. ``It'd be a historic moment for Kamloops Residential Indian School survivors and for our community that continues to navigate the impacts following the horrific confirmation of the missing children,'' her statement says.

The Vatican said this week that Pope Francis is willing to visit Canada at a date yet to be determined.

The legacy of Canada's federally funded, church-run residential schools was underscored in May, when Tk'emlups announced that more than 200 suspected unmarked graves had been detected at the site of the former institution there.

More graves have since been found at the sites of several former institutions.

The Tk'emlups state-

ment says local and regional Roman Catholic representatives have expressed words of regret and remorse, but there has never been an apology from the highest level of the Catholic Church. ``For the 'truth' component of truth and reconciliation, there has to be an acknowledgment, of the true role of the Catholic Church in the deaths of children placed in their care,'' it says.

The Catholic Church has repeatedly refused to accept responsibility or formally apologize for its role in the numerous and horrific abuses committed against Indigenous children in the residential school system, it says. ``For the Pope to come to Canada without real action, with simply the objective of reconciliation, glosses over and ignores this hard truth,'' Casimir says.

The Kamloops school began operation in 1890 and closed in 1969.

KAMLOOPS — Leaders of a British Columbia First Nation say it would be ``deeply meaningful'' to welcome Pope Francis to their territory during a visit to Canada.

A statement from the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc Nation in Kamloops, B.C., says the visit would have to be more than a symbol of reconciliation and be accompanied by ``real action.''

It urges the Catholic Church to provide an apology from the Pope for its role in the abuse of Indigenous children who were forced to attend Canada's residential schools.

The nation also urges the church to ``demonstrate acts of contrition,'' fulfil promises to disclose residential school documents and raise funds for survivors and their families.
