The number of active cases on Six Nations remains high.

As of the last update on January 31, there are 68 active cases. The 36 cases reported in the last seven days do not include rapid antigen test results that residents have conducted at home, rather it only includes numbers from lab confirmed PCR tests.

Though the number of active cases is far lower than it was in the last two weeks — the data collected in the latest report has changed and may not reflect the true number of infections on the territory.

Previous numbers reported in January included community members self-reporting positive cases from a rapid antigen test.

In the last seven days, one more person has been admitted to hospital, leaving the current number of people in hospital at 7.

There are 136 people are in self isolation.

Unvaccinated community members continue to lead transmission statistics

with 70% of positive cases being among unvaccinated residents. Six Nations has very poor vaccination rates with just 50% of the community reporting that they have received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Canadian average is 90%.

So far, Ohsweken Public Health has not announced

any cases that are confirmed to be the Omicron variant on Six Nations — however Ontario has confirmed the Omicron variant is the dominant cause of cases in the province.

To date, Six Nations has seen 1455 residents contract the COVID-19 virus since the beginning of the

pandemic — 19 have died.

Residents and visitors are strongly encouraged to follow all public health guidelines and remain vigilant.

This includes wearing a medical-grade mask (surgical, KN95, or N95, if possible), frequently washing/sanitizing your

Due to changes in the way testing is reported the number of cases is likely an underestimation, please interpret with caution. Currently, all COVID-19 cases are presumed the Omicron variant.

Immersion language schools needs $15 million DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Kawenni:io/Gaweniy:o Private School is hoping the federal government will provide $15 million in funding for a new school building when the new fiscal year arrives in April.

At least, that will be one of its funding sources.

KGPS, which has been providing Mohawk and Cayuga language immersion schooling for kindergarten to grade 12 students on Six Nations in various locations for 40 years, desperately needs a new school.

Students have been learning out of a converted space on the second floor of the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena for over a decade now, despite unsafe conditions and decades of advocacy for funding to build its own school.

Ruby Jacobs, president of the KGPS school board, said it’s unconscionable that students have been forced to learn in such conditions since the school’s inception, never having a home to call its own.

“The government of Canada has huge amounts of money that belongs to Six Nations,” she told Six Nations of the Grand River Elected (SNGR) elected council during a general issues meeting last week. “Why should we be begging and scraping about getting funds? This is unconscionable to leave those children in that unsafe environment.”

Kevin Martin, president of First Nations Engineering Services Ltd. (FNESL) in Ohsweken, brought near-final design drawings and financials to the meeting last week, saying the cost to build the school hovers around $17 million, with Six Nations

already willing to commit $2 million on its own.

With the high cost of construction materials, however, that estimate could be even higher come April.

The 45,000 square foot school will house classrooms, a gym, a nurse’s area, reception area, counselling areas and even a longhouse space.

Detailed design drawings should be complete

by March. The firm is 60 per cent complete with their architectural drawings, with FNESL ready to award tenders in April.

Land has been designated for the building behind Six Nations Polytechnic on Fourth Line Road.

Current designs include only a granular driveway for now, with asphalt to be added later. Site preparation drawings have also been completed, with estimated costs of about $5.6 million – that’s without a contingency fund.

Martin estimates construction could begin in May and the school will be complete before winter if everything goes according to schedule.

“The one thing that may affect the schedule… there’s a shortage of PVC pipe,” said Martin. “We’re experiencing that on many of our projects. They seem to need a four-to-six month window for underground piping. This may have an effect on that.”

About 125 students currently attend the school in its makeshift quarters at the ICA. The new design would allow for more students, and subsequently more language speakers graduating from its programs.

Council heard that a meeting with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) in December revealed the federal department had no money left for school construction in its budget for this fiscal year.

Martin said in his discussions with ISC, they would be more likely to provide funding if Six Nations could come up with $2 million of its own toward the project.

“It could lead to a quicker approval, said Martin.

Being shovel-ready is also a bonus, he said.

A private donor and community member have been contributing to the existing operational costs of the private school.

Students who have attended KGPS have been shifted around to different buildings for 40 years.

“That is just unconscionable,” said Jacobs. “This is for the whole reserve, by keeping this school, the culture and language. That’s where the knowledge carriers and speakers are coming from.

Please help us with that – we want to get a meeting (with government officials).”

Chief Mark Hill agreed

and said council will ensure board members are part of the meeting with ISC this month to discuss funding for the building.

“I think we’re all on the same page when we talk about the need for this school. We are continuing to do that political push so we can get the funding for this school.”

Chief Hill said he couldn’t get a straight answer from ISC when he asked if the start of a new fiscal year could mean funding will be available for the school but being shovel ready by then is important.

“When you’re shovel ready and all those pieces, that is when you’re favourable to those funders,” said Chief Hill.

“We want this school built as quickly as possible.

We’re going to continue doing whatever we can to get it built.”

Connecting Food and Land as medicine DONNA DURIC

TWO ROW TIMES

It may be cold, dark and dreary as we slumber through the isolation of midwinter and Covid restrictions but behind the scenes, nature is busy.

And just like the seasons, humans are supposed to be in a state of rest right now, says Kitty Lynn Lickers, food animator with Six Nations Health Promotions.

She drew parallels between the land and animals during an enlightening Community Wellness session last week, the second in a series of online presentations meant to help people stay connected during this period of isolation.

Lickers was going to take the community out in the bush for a walk to catch sight of some winter birds during her presentation but it was so cold, even the birds wouldn’t come out.

“At minus 20 the birds don’t come out,” said

Lickers. “The animals don’t come out. The rabbits, the foxes – everybody stays hidden in their homes. The only ones that go out is us (humans). We’re the ones that are silly and get all bundled up and out we go into the cold. I’m glad to be able to do that for you.”

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so quiet in the winter, with nary a bird chirping during the day, it’s because they’re huddled together for warmth.

“In minus 20, the birds gather very close, pull up one wing, sit close to the trunk of the tree and tuck themselves under their own wing.”

She encourages people to do their part for the animals and birds during the winter by keeping their gardens messy. That means no pulling weeds and leaving them be for the winter so that animals can eat the seeds on them during this season of food scarcity.

“We also have to do our part. Part of that is simple things, like leaving plants in the garden that have seeds on them. Some of

those you leave for the birds because at this time of year, they’re looking for those last bits of seeds. The wild plants, they leave the seeds on their stem. That’s so the animals can eat.”

She said she’s seen only one coyote this winter, but the one she did see had burrs and stuck to it.

He was doing his part to move seeds and food around the reserve, she said.

“The messier and uglier your garden is, the better,” said Lickers. “You leave those seeds on those plants so that the animals have them for the winter, especially how cold it’s been this year.”

Lickers was up bright and early last for the presentation, setting up a warm fire at the Six Nations community garden in the heart of Ohsweken where she made a delicious-sounding venison stew on the outdoor fire.

She said it was important to have the fire going for a long time if one planned to cook over it because you need hot coals

Cooking outside is a symbolic way of reclaiming one’s Onkwehonwe identity.

“If colonization has severed or strangled our connection to our food and our land, then doing things on the land, cooking things over a fire, are our way of decolonizing that,” said Lickers. “We all need food.

The best food for us is the food that we get from the land.”

She used bones to make a bone broth and explained how she made it by boiling them over the fire.

Bone broth is very nourishing, she said, and can help you feel better when you’re sick.

“Bone broth is often my go-to for breakfast. It’s so good for you.”

“Food and land are so interconnected that it’s difficult for me to separate them,” said Lickers.

The community wellness series started last year as a way to help community members feel more connected.

We are facing a settler colonial crisis, not an Indigenous identity crisis

By Celeste Pedri-Spade

I’m familiar with Indigenous resurgence and how it’s connected to the restoration and reparation happening within Indigenous communities — work that often focuses on healing intergenerational divides caused by Indian Residential Schools and the 60s Scoop — but this idea of “re-indigenization” was different.

It appeared to justify the idea that any person who discovers they have a “root Indigenous ancestor” from anywhere between 150 to 400 years ago must claim an Indigenous identity and proudly take up spaces deemed to require Indigenous perspectives and voices.

Part of this process appeared to involve attaching and embedding oneself, not within the particular Indigenous community or Nation where their long-ago “Indigenous” ancestor hailed from, but within internal institutional Indigenous communities or organizations that fronted as “Indigenous communities” for the purpose of institutional or “urban” legitimacy.

Get your news from people who know what they’re talking about.

This is a problem.

As a citizen of the Anishinaabeg Nation and community member of Nezaadiikaang (Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation), I am the Queen’s National Scholar in Indigenous Studies and an associate professor at Queen’s University, Ontario.

I have been in academia for a decade now, and previously worked in various capacities serving Indigenous communities. My first full-time job after undergrad was in the political

office of former Grand Chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation Stan Beardy.

Given that my own family members have continuously held political appointments, I have been listening to Anishinaabeg articulate concepts of self-determination, nationhood and sovereignty for many years.

Indigeneity through self-indigenization I want to address the inherent problems with indigeneity through self-indigenization or re-indigenization.

There is a connection between self-indigenization based on ancestry, and settler colonial violence that is conveniently being ignored in our public institutions.

“Mining” the archive for biological trace(s) of “nativeness” follows the same settler colonial, possessive and extractivist logic of mining Indigenous lands.

Both Indigenous lands and identities are positioned as resources that people are entitled to claim and own. Dakota scholar Kim Tall Bear has shown us how this practice is linked to Eurocentric concepts of “identity” that privilege individualism and inherited property.

Within settler colonial concepts of property rights, identity becomes something that can be claimed, owned and put to use. It is interesting to see many of my colleagues publicly reject extractivist pursuits like pipelines while remaining silent or uncertain about similar tactics employed against Indigenous personhood.

The rush to “indigenize” While it is widely acknowledged that Indigenous identity can be complicated given the decades of ongoing colonialism, the move to conflate ances-

try with indigeneity is an entirely different issue that is on the rise in universities and other public institutions.

The issue is that in their rush to “indigenize,” universities have created the conditions whereby someone who has mined the genealogical archives can access a position reserved for an Indigenous person, displacing those of us who are connected to and claimed by a living community/Nation of people.

This phenomenon undermines the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous Nations who have the right to determine who does and does not belong to their communities.

When Indigenous folks push back against self-indigenization or re-indigenization, they receive considerable backlash that in many ways distracts from the key issues at hand.

We are often accused of being caught up in divisive blood quantum requirements. The irony, of course, is that I have yet to hear any Indigenous critic of the extractivist logic even mention “Indian status” or “blood quantum” in their arguments.

The only ones who seem obsessed with “native blood” are those whose entire claim to indigeneity is based on them locating someone in their genetic or ancestral history.

I recently heard arguments that self-indigenization is a moral, ethical and traditional process that brings us out of the colonial shackles of the Indian Act. But erasing or ignoring the reality of the Indian Act, and of Indigenous survival in the face of it, does not magically bring about decolonization.

settled that argument when they rejected Pierre Trudeau’s infamous White Paper more than 50 years ago.

Indigenous Nations have always maintained their citizenship orders. They have always retained the right to

determine who does and does not belong.

Re-casting oneself as Indigenous The problem with re-inventing oneself as “Indigenous” is based on the same logic of possession and fantasies of entitlement

Chiefs sued Principal for abuse

A memorandum dated March 26th, 1918, and addressed to Minister of Indian Affairs, Duncan Campbell Scott informs of a lawsuit filed by two Six Nations fathers, George W. Miller and Jefferson D. Isaac against Principal A. Nelles Ashton for “unlawful assault and excessive punishment” of their children at the Mohawk Institute. The boy and girl were expelled from the Mohawk Institute and their fathers wanted to know why.

They were promised an advance of $100 to cover the legal costs, however, the Confederacy Chiefs Council, were later told the government would not pay since it was a ”personal matter.”

The case went ahead anyhow and was presented before Mr. Justice Kelly on March 31st, 1914. After hearing the complaint, Judge Kelly ruled in favour of the Chiefs Council.

Ashton was officially charged and was forced to pay $100 for keeping a girl in a cell for three days on a water diet. He was also fined $300 for “whipping on bareback with rawhide.”

In another communication, it tells of a surprise visit to the Mohawk Institute to assess the work of then principal, Turnell.

It was not a flattering report.

“Mr. Turnell seemed

On the other hand, the finances and books were well kept making Turnell one of the most fiscally responsible of MI principals.

Before his successor was selected, Mrs. A.M.

The building was in dire need of maintenance and repair, with no budget to get the work done.

She was put off by the general uncleanliness of the dorms but was mostly shocked by the poor condition of the old beds, mattresses and blankets being used for the residents.

Truck driver shortages affecting business in North America JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

While traversing the country’s highways, drivers may not realize they are in the company of people who help keep the country’s economy flowing smoothly. The various trucks seen on the roadway are crucial economic components, as are the drivers who toil hours on end behind the wheel.

As vital as they are, truck drivers are now in short supply, with some citing an aging workforce, high turnover rates, increased freight demand, and “lifestyle priorities” that can make other industries seem more attractive to would-be

drivers.

The economic advisor Morgan Stanley reports that about 75 per cent of freight in the United States is moved over the nation’s roadways by the roughly three million truckers. The American Trucking Associations says that about an additional 50,000 drivers are needed to meet deficits, particularly in the longhaul sector of the industry.

If the trucking shortage goes unaddressed, industries could falter and deliveries may be late.

In addition, rising costs of transporting goods by freight companies may be passed down to consumers. Industry experts fear the shortage may almost triple by the year 2026 and the shortage could

strengthened once again, the cracks in the system became more apparent.

The trucking lifestyle isn’t attracting millennials and the incoming Generation Z individuals who are interested in a work-life balance, continues the ATA. If consumers are wondering why prices

on certain goods have steadily risen, they may have trucker shortages to blame. Transportation costs have been problematic for companies such as PepsiCo, Halliburton, Hasbro, and Tyson Foods, just to name a few. Tyson has said freight costs spiked by an estimated $200 million in 2018.

Experienced truckers who are interested in finding work or individuals new to this employment sector may find that odds of getting gainful employment are in their favour.

The demand for drivers has resulted in freight companies offering higher salaries as well as signing bonuses for qualified drivers. Trucker compensation has risen as much as 12 per cent a year in recent years, according to Bob Costello, chief economist at the ATA. That’s a considerable increase in wages compared to other sectors, which have barely budged recently.

Statement by Canadian Trucking Alliance president on protests ‘Freedom Convoy’ not supported by trucking alliance

JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

On January 22 the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) issued its position on the convoy protesting the mandate introduced by the Governments of Canada and the United

A report from the CTA said the vast majority of the Canadian trucking industry is vaccinated with the overall industry vaccination rate among truck drivers closely mirroring that of the general public.

SUBMITTED

States, stating that the only way to cross the border, in a commercial truck or any other vehicle, is to get vaccinated.

The ‘Freedom Convoy’ is driven by a group of truckers and their supporters opposed to COVID-19 vaccine mandates, and worked its way toward Toronto and then eventually Ottawa. Several cities and communities across the country held smaller drives or convoys in their areas to show support. A call to support truckers in Ottawa was made on Six Nations and only two people showed up for the ride.

“As an industry we must adapt and comply with this mandate and the vast majority have,” said the CTA. “While a number of Canadians are in Ottawa to voice their displeasure over this mandate, it also appears that a great number of these protestors have no connection to the trucking industry and have a separate agenda beyond a disagreement over cross border vaccine requirements. As these protests unfold over the weekend, we ask the Canadian public to be aware that many of the people you see and hear in media reports do not have a connection to the trucking industry.”

A report from the CTA

said the vast majority of the Canadian trucking industry is vaccinated with the overall industry vaccination rate among truck drivers closely mirroring that of the general public.

Accordingly, most of our nation’s hard-working truck drivers are continuing to move cross-border and domestic freight to ensure our economy continues to function.

“To those in the trucking industry that have chosen to participate in this protest regarding cross border mandates, we ask that you engage in a peaceful demonstration today then leave the City of Ottawa to avoid any issues to the welfare and safety of the citizens of Ottawa. Your behaviour today will not only reflect upon you and your family but the 300,000 plus fellow Canadians that, like you, take great pride in our industry. Please remember this important responsibility you bear today in delivering your message responsibly but also the impact your actions will have on the image of the majority of your colleagues from coast-to-coast who do not share your opinion but share your passion for the industry and country,” said the CTA.

The CTA said over the last 24 months it has and will continue to work with the Government of Canada to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain.

“This includes several health and safety measures like raising vaccine rates in our sector. CTA will continue this work to benefit our sector and, by extension, the Canadian

economy. This work will begin again this Monday when the Government of Canada hosts the National Supply Chain Summit,” said the CTA.

Brigette Lacquette celebrates 5 years of sobriety STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

On Monday, January 31, Brigette Lacquette took to Facebook to write a candid and emotive post about her journey in sobriety, while offering support to those that are on similar journeys.

“Today, I have been five years alcohol-free,” she wrote. "I am not going to lie - this past year has been the hardest of them all.”

“Throughout my life, I was able to use hockey as an outlet. Everything that has ever happened, I could always hit the rink and forget it all by skating, shooting and stick handling until I was too tired to think about my problems. That’s why I spent so many hours out there. I always thought I had a fairly normal life — my parents gave my siblings and I the love and support we needed, and they found a way to make our hockey dreams come true.

They did everything for us.

Hockey was my way out of Mallard, because anyone who knows Mallard, knows that it’s a pretty boring place (to put it nicely),” she wrote.

“As I got older, I started turning to alcohol as a way of coping with all the stresses in my life. It took some years to realize that I’d been doing myself more harm than good. I feel emotions intensely, and anxiety is one I felt most intensely.

I’ve always felt the shame of not making better choices, which led to frustration and anger, and always had low self esteem because of those choices.”

“The day I stopped drinking was a long time coming. After years and

FB

years of neglecting my mental health and coping in unhealthy ways, I felt very alone, sad and ashamed.

I blamed the alcohol for the person I had become.

I knew that I needed that change, in order to be a person my niece and nephews could be proud of. I needed to focus on achieving my goals.”

She coined the date of January 31st in 2017, as the day she changed her trajectory.

“The day I decided to stop drinking. I had hit rock bottom. I thought, ‘okay, well, this is going to be hard, but it’s definitely doable.’ I surrounded myself with the best people, and found ways to keep myself busy, like trying new things.

I thought that, once I quit drinking, I didn’t have anything else to work on. I was good,” she wrote.

“Fast forward a few years. After losing a loved one and not making centralization for Team Canada, I started slipping back into unhealthy ways of

coping. I hit a point where I was completely broken.

The lowest of all lows. For months in 2021, I found myself having the urge to have a drink. Instead, I would start taking edibles, substituting one unhealthy form of coping for another.

Soon, I realized that I had a new problem.”

“Finally, in November, I decided I needed to go home. Two nights before I decided to leave, I was overcome with an intense urge to drink. I had felt this before, but never this bad.

On top of that, I felt like I didn’t care if I was dead or alive anymore, and that frightened me. I reached out to my agent, my parents and a couple of my good friends to help me through.

I survived, and I am forever grateful to them for their support,” she wrote.

“At the end of October 2021, I finally reached out for a psychiatrist's help. I thought there’s no way that life should feel THIS hard. I needed answers - why am I the way I am? After years

of shutting out my trauma with alcohol, then trying to cope by exchanging alcohol for marijuana, I realized that I had never learned how to cope with my emotions. I couldn't shut out what I was feeling, which is why I had to get myself home, and surround myself with friends and family, people that made me feel safe.”

Lacquette wrote that she was diagnosed with ADHD, an explanation for her anxiety, and elements of Borderline Personality Disorder as a result of childhood and adolescent trauma.

"I know the road to recovery can be long, and my healing process has only just begun. I know I need to surround myself with people who bring out the best in me, and I have been doing just that. Asking for help and not trying to battle this alone has been the best decision I’ve made.

I promise myself I will try my absolute best each and every day to get better.”

“I am not going to let this define who I am. While learning to accept that I am not responsible for the trauma I have been put through in my past is my number one goal, finally understanding that there are ways to heal from all this anger, shame and frustration is what keeps me hopeful. It’s what keeps me going.

“If anyone is ever going through something like this, don’t hesitate to reach out. I know how lonely and hard it can feel sometimes,” she wrote. “Five years alcohol free. This new chapter is just the beginning for me, and I’m excited for what the future has in store.”

SHAWANDA: VIOLET AGNES (STYRES) Peacefully at the John Noble Home in Brantford. Violet began her journey to heaven. She was the spouse of Morley Styres (predeceased) Stepmom of Darryl & Sandra, Darren (deceased), Derek & Sandra Stephanie & Hopeton, Marcia & Avalon, David, Roselyn and her fur baby “Pawsie Boy”. She had many great grand children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Her siblings include Vera, Junie & Bernie, Stuart & Donna, Wilfred (deceased) and Bea. She was the daughter of George and Nora Shawanda.

Violet was an amazing woman who accomplished a lot during her time here. She was a professor at McMaster University, Faculty Member at Lakehead University, elementary teacher at many First Nations reserves across Canada.

Violet also enjoyed designing clothes and was a hit during her studies in Fashion Design at George Brown College. Violet enjoyed travelling and travelled to over 60 countries with the love of her life Morley. She loved meeting people and enjoyed designing her regalia for her jingle dress dancing as she followed the pow wow trail. Violet was born in South Bay, Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory located on Manitoulin Island. She had an incredible love for the Odawa culture, traditional teachings and was fluent in the Odawa-Ojibway language and often taught the language to family, friends and strangers. Violet was a residential school survivor. Residential schools were created for the purpose of separating Indigenous children from their families, in order to minimize and weaken family ties, cultural fortitude, and the power of the Indigenous language, to indoctrinate children into mainstream culture. Despite the traumatic experience of the residential school system Violet’s resilience, determination and love of the language and culture empowered her to ensure that the language and culture was passed on too many Indigenous children. Her legacy and hard work will live on through many generations to come. Much love and thanks go out to Dr. Zacks, Seasons Retirement Communities and John Noble Home Palliative Care Unit for their compassion, care and love during Violet’s time here. Resting at Styres funeral Home, 1798 Fourth Line, Ohsweken on Sunday from 4 - 6 p.m. where a private family service will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, January 31, 2022. Interment at Six Nations Pentecostal Cemetery. www.rhbanderson.com “An excellent woman (one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous). Who is he who can find her? Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls”. Proverbs 31:10 Amplified

MONTOUR: Thomas Edward

LONGBOAT: Rudolph

Our beloved and extraordinarily special Uncle Tom left us on Tuesday February 1, 2022. Born on August 25, 1936, he was in his 86th year. Anyone that knew him – loved him. His smile and laugh was infectious. He cherished his family – family was everything. He was an avid bingo player with CKRZ and couldn’t pass up a game of euchre with his friends. Uncle Tom will leave so many people with broken hearts, but the wonderful memories live forever.

Tom is survived by brothers Danny and Larry and will join his parents, the late Thomas and Luella Montour (Tobicoe) and siblings, Emmerson, Raymond, Willie, Muriel (Johnson), Fern (MacDonald), Lloyd, Floyd, Bobby and Millie. Uncle Tom was the spotlight of our family gatherings and will always be treasured by numerous nieces and nephews but especially from the MacDonald family; Babe (deceased), Mary, Carolyn, Barbara, Iris, Maurice (deceased), Billy, Marty and Jimmy (deceased); and the Johnson family; Wanda (deceased), Pat (deceased), Marion, Ross, Bonnie, Joyce, Marcia (deceased), Tim (deceased), John, Jane, Freeman and Wendy. He touched so many great and great-great nieces and nephews as well. Uncle Tom was a resident of Iroquois Lodge and we want to thank all those who took special care of him. John and Judy were his constant caregivers and for that, we will always be grateful. Uncle Tom loves flowers and he could never have too many. Visitation will be held at Hyde & Mott Chapel of R.H.B.
