Three COVID-19 deaths

OHSWEKEN — Three more people from Six Nations have lost their lives to COVID-19. On Monday February 7, Six Nations announced the three deaths along with 36 active COVID cases currently with 16 new cases reported in the last 7 days.

Currently there are 134 people in self isolation.

There are 5 people in hospital.

Six Nations is staying steady at 70% of all cases occurring in unvaccinated people.

New to the statistics update is a notice that

Ohsweken Public Health is not tracking variants.

“At this time all COVID-19 cases are presumed the Omicron variant, COVID-19 cases will not be screened for the Omicron variant,” says the statement.

Over the course of the pandemic there have been just under 1500 people who have confirmed contracted the virus. It is widely assumed that results across the province do not reflect the actual case numbers of Omicron as testing standards have changed and backlogs have prevented confirmation by PCR testing.

In total, 22 people from Six Nations have died since the beginning of the pandemic.

HALDIMAND - On February 2, 2022, at 11:24 p.m., Haldimand County OPP responded to a single motor vehicle collision on Argyle Street South in Caledonia.

While speaking with the driver, signs of alcohol consumption were detected. The individual was transported to an OPP detachment for additional

testing.

As a result of the investigation, Omar Deen KURD, 30-years-old, of Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation is charged with Operation while Impaired - Blood Alcohol Concentration (80 plus).

The accused is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cayuga at a later date to answer to the charges.

Six Nations quietly discussing dozens of projects during pandemic DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Six Nations of the Grand River Lands and Resources department has been in talks with various developers throughout the pandemic – with zero community input.

Coun. Wendy Johnson took the department’s Consultation and Accommodation (CAP) team leader, Lonny Bomberry, to task at a political liaison meeting last month after he provided a vague list of projects to council in an attempt to “update” the committee on the projects. But there was no information provided in the update, just a list of proponents and discussions the team is currently engaged in.

Information on these projects is nowhere to be found on the Six Nations Future website – a website created and dedicated solely to providing information to Six Nations community members on engagements with developers on Six Nations treaty

territory. The “active engagements” section of the website is blank. It’s not known how Six Nations will be accommodated, or if it will be accommodated, on any of the projects Bomberry brought to the committee last month.

SNGR’s communications team provided the Two Row Times with a list of projects the CAP team brought to the committee, but the communications office has yet to answer specific questions seeking more information on each project.

Calls to Six Nations Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry have not been returned.

In the meantime, the Two Row Times has compiled a list of the projects/ discussions with a brief background on each, if available.

The list of projects the CAP team is discussing include: -City of Brantford update (discussion on how to move forward with developers) -City of Toronto: update on official plan and

discussion on Indigenous heritage within the city -Discussed with WSP Consultants (an engineering consultant firm with offices in Ontario) on the Lake Erie Industrial Park.

According to the Haldimand County website, the Lake Erie Industrial Park is one of the largest industrial parks in Ontario, proposed for the north shore of Lake Erie. The 4,500-acre park is zoned for heavy industrial use.

The owner is listed as “private.”

-Town of Lincoln Lakeshore Flood Mitigation measures -Lake Erie Connector Project: a proposed 1,000 MW high voltage, 117 km underwater transmission line that would deliver power between Ontario and 13 mid-western and mid-Atlantic states in the U.S. Construction is expected to begin this year. It’s not known if Six Nations will benefit from the project in any capacity.

-Greenbelt West Coalition: discussion regarding the proposed expansion of the Greenbelt. The Green-

belt is a large swath of protected land throughout Ontario surrounding a significant portion of the Golden Horseshoe.

-MNDMNRF (Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry); the CAP team says it’s been in discussion with that ministry on “various projects and applications.”

-County of Brant: various consent applications.

Six Nations also discussed the wording of the county’s Official Plan document -City of Cambridge: proposed pedestrian bridge in Hespeler -Discussions with the IAAC (Impact Assessment Agency of Canada) on the 413 Highway project, also known as the GTA West Project. The 60-kilometer highway would connect Milton from the 401 to Vaughan, ending at Hwy. 400. The project has already sparked protests from environmental groups. The project will clear out 2,000 acres of farmland, cut through 85 waterways, and pave 400 acres of protected land

near Vaughan.

-City of Guelph: environmental impacts of proposed pedestrian bridge -Region of Waterloo: update on Official Plan -LIV Developments: discussion on Birkett Lane/River Road housing development. The project is a proposed 1,200-unit housing development on greenspace in Eagle Place in Brantford.

-Ontario Place: reviewed their environmental assessment for site servicing -City of Hamilton: discussed the city’s biodiversity action plan -Discussed the Chedoke Creek rehabilitation plan.

Chedoke Creek is the site of an infamous sewage spill in the City of Hamilton in 2018. Remediation work on the disastrous spill, which also affected an extremely sensitive wetland on the edge of the city called Cootes Paradise, as well as the Western Hamilton Harbour Area, is ongoing.

-Discussions with Brant County on potential locations for an elevated water

tank in Paris -MECP (Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks) discussions regarding changes made to the environmental assessment process -Metrolinx: discussed project approach and how decisions are made -Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission: discussed a proposal to bury nuclear waste. The location of this proposed waste burial is not known.

-Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry: discussed the possibility of the ministry creating mechanisms for revenue sharing with Indigenous communities -City of Kitchener Biehn Drive extension: environmental discussion -GRCA (Grand River Conservation Authority) quarterly meeting -Transport Canada: capacity funding discussion -Broccolini Real Estate Group: meeting to discuss concerns. Broccolini is a Canadian development company.

Elected council votes unanimously to change name of Gaylord Powless Arena STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Six Nations Elected Council says they will change the name of the arena in Ohsweken — removing the name of Gaylord Powless and restoring the previous name of the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Arena.

A delegation approached Six Nations Elected Council on Tuesday night to ask again that Gaylord Powless’ name be removed from the arena.

Councillor Audrey Powless-Bomberry recused herself from the discussion and left the meeting due to a conflict of interest.

Council previously heard the groups concerns in 2019 during an emotional struggle between a committee of elders and relatives of Powless. Several community members

shared their thoughts on either side of the issue — and as a result, SNGREC made a decision to keep the GPA name but to name the entire space in the village where the arena is located the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Centre.

On Tuesday — the group stated that they do not like that decision — claiming that the initial name change in 2001 was illegitimate.

The arena that stands at the heart of Ohsweken was originally named the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Centre in 1972 with a name change in 2001 to the Gaylord Powless Arena in a motion brought forward to council by a Six Nations community member following Powless’ passing.

According to historical records, SNEC passed a Band Council Resolution to change the arena name

to the “Gaylord Powless Sports Centre” on July 24, 2001. A memo was then sent to Six Nations Parks and Recreation informing them of the change.

SNGREC unanimously passed a motion Tuesday, saying it will revert the name of the arena back to the Six Nations Sports and Cultural Memorial Centre — and possibly build a Hall of Fame honouring all Six Nations athletes and looking for a different way to honour Powless.

Currently the sports centre in Ohsweken includes the arena, the Six Nations Community Hall, Dajoh Youth and Elders Centre, lacrosse field, blue running track, a splash pad, an outdoor rink, skateboard park, plus the Six Nations ball diamond, horse track, a concession stand and is the current home of the Six Nations Parks and Recreation offices.

Licensed retail cannabis stores officially open this month

By TRT Staff The Six Nations Cannabis Commission (SNCC) announced that the first three stores issued a license through the Six Nations Cannabis Control Law will be open and ready for business in the coming days, with a “soft launch” opening day set for Feb. 21.

The commission is funded by Six Nations of the Grand River elected council but is governed by a board of community members.

“The feedback, support and patience of community and elected leaders has truly made this a community-led initiative,” said SNCC Chair Nahnda Garlow. “Together, we have built a cannabis economy for the people Six Nations, made by the people of Six Nations.”

Consumers will notice an official stamp of the commission on all licensed products sold on the territory.

Retail cannabis operators adhering to the cannabis control law contribute a portion of their sales to a community fund meant to benefit community initiatives.

Several retail cannabis stores have already opened under the umbrella and support of a community-led group called the Six Nations People’s Cannabis Coalition that also aims to regulate the cannabis industry on the territory.

A grand opening event will be held during Six Nations Community Awareness Month this coming May, respecting COVID safety protocols that may be in place.

The three cannabis retail locations are: Spot on 54 - 865 County Road 54; The Godfather of Bud 514 Second Line; and New Leaf - 2901 Fourth Line.

Additional retail locations will launch in the coming weeks.

Six Nations of the Grand River created the Six

Nations Cannabis Commission to develop and implement a comprehensive cannabis regulatory regime that will ensure the health and safety of community members and that cannabis businesses operating on the territory are contributing to the economic well-being of all Six Nations people.

The Six Nations Cannabis Control Law (SNCCL) came into effect on June 21, 2021.

“Anyone who wishes to operate a cannabis business (production or retail sale) on Six Nations territory must apply for and be issued a licence by SNCC, and comply with the ongoing licensing and health and safety requirements contained in the Six Nations Cannabis Control Law and Six Nations Cannabis Control Regulations which can be found online at www.sncannabis.com,” notes a press release from the commission.

OPINION

It is so easy to get caught up in the every day and to begin to forget the magical gift of love that we are blessed with as human beings.

Among every animal in the world, there is a struggle — eat or be eaten. Humans are the only beings with the capacity to find peace and that is only possible because we each have human will.

The will to love. The will to forgive. The will to let things go and find peace. The will to press in and fight to the bitter end. The will to endure.

The will to survive. The will to overcome.

We all have, as humans, free will.

Typically Valentine’s Day is set aside for celebrating romantic love.

This week, we wanted to take another look at different types of love.

What about self-love?

What about historic love that breaks stereotypes and brings change to a community forever?

How do we as indigenous people define love?

What is the difference between healthy and unhealthy love?

We hope you enjoy our examination of love in this week’s issue.

Six Nations is a community rich with love. Love of the culture, the community and our history. Love of the language. Love of rez food.

Love of the days gone by. Love is expressed in thousands of ways on our Territory and is just one more way that we all celebrate the freedom to express Haudenosaunee diversity.

Who do you love and how do you love and

are loved, matter. This includes embracing all expressions of romantic love is also a part of what makes us strong as a culture and community. And as we progress as a people, making space for LGBTQ2S+ communities to express love authentically and meaningfully also makes us a better community.

How we love one another as a people is possibly our greatest love story.

The times we make space for one another — to grieve, to be heard, to heal — is meaningful work.

The life energy that we invest into love for one another is a good investment.

Making efforts to understand someone else’s perspective and even if you disagree, giving them space to speak and stand where they are, grows the community.

Embracing our children and their hopes and dreams for the future is love.

Lifting up our elders and finding wisdom in their stories is love.

Cherishing the days, enjoying the process along the way in building a vibrant and diverse community is love.

Thanking folks for their time and efforts to build a safer space for our people is love.

Investing time in visiting your neighbour is love.

Let’s celebrate one another and diversify our perceptions of love this year and grow as a community and nation.

Living life (and relationships) through filters Does social media encourage staying in unhealthy relationships?

JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

In today’s world of online dating, swiping right, gaining followers and hiding flaws with a filter, has it become too easy to curate the perfect digital persona for yourself and can the same can be said about our real life relationships?

As we approach Valentine’s Day, how much effort do we put in maintaining the look of our relationships no matter how toxic it may be?

“In a healthy relationship, everything just kind of works. Sure, you might disagree from time to time or come upon other bumps in the road, but you generally make decisions together, openly discuss any problems that arise, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company,” wrote Cindy Lamothe and Crystal Raypole in an article for healthline.com. “Toxic relationships are another story. In a toxic relationship, you might consistently feel drained or unhappy after spending time with your partner, according to relationship therapist Jor-El Caraballo, which can suggest that some things need to change.”

The website shared its list of 14 signs you are in a toxic relationship: Lack of support – The time you spend together no longer feels positive.

You don’t feel supported or encouraged, and you can’t trust them to show up for you. Instead, you might get the impression that your needs and interests don’t

matter, that they only care about what they want.

Toxic communication – Instead of kindness and mutual respect, most of your conversations are filled with sarcasm or criticism and fuelled by contempt.

Envy or jealousy – While it’s perfectly fine to experience a little envy from time to time, Caraballo explains it can become an issue if your envy keeps you from thinking positively about your partner’s successes.

Controlling behaviors – Does your partner ask where you are all the time? Maybe they become annoyed or irritated when you don’t immediately answer texts or text you again and again until you do. These behaviors might stem from jealousy or lack of trust, but they can also suggest a need for control — both of which can contribute to relationship toxicity.

Resentment – Holding on to grudges and letting them fester chips away at intimacy.

“Over time, frustration or resentment can build up and make a smaller chasm much bigger,” Caraballo notes.

Dishonesty – You find yourself constantly making up lies about your whereabouts or who you meet up with — whether that’s because you want to avoid spending time with your partner or because you worry how they’ll react if you tell them the truth.

Patterns of disrespect – Being chronically late, casually “forgetting” events, and other behaviours that show disrespect for your

time are a red flag.

Negative financial behaviours – Sharing finances with a partner often involves some level of agreement about how you’ll spend or save your money. That said, it’s not necessarily toxic if one partner chooses to spend money on items the other partner doesn’t approve of. It can be toxic, though, if you’ve come to an agreement about your finances and one partner consistently disrespects that agreement, whether by purchasing big-ticket items or withdrawing large sums of money.

Constant stress – Ordinary life challenges that come up — a family member’s illness, job loss — can create some tension in your relationship, of course. But finding yourself constantly on edge, even when you aren’t facing stress from outside sources, is a key indicator that something’s off.

Ignoring your needs – Going along with whatever your partner wants to do, even when it goes against your wishes or comfort level, is a sure sign of toxicity, says clinical psychologist Catalina Lawsin, PhD. Lost relationships – You’ve stopped spending time with friends and family, either to avoid conflict with your partner or to get around having to explain what’s happening in your relationship.

Lack of self-care – In a toxic relationship, you might let go of your usual self-care habits. You might withdraw from hobbies you once loved, neglect your health, and sacrifice your free time. This might

happen because you don’t have the energy for these activities or because your partner disapproves when you do your own thing.

Hoping for change – You might stay in the relationship because you remember how much fun you had in the beginning. Maybe you think that if you just change yourself and your actions, they’ll change as well.

Walking on eggshells – You worry that by bringing up problems, you’ll provoke extreme tension, so you become conflict avoidant and keep any issues to yourself.

If you feel as though you or someone you know is in a toxic relationship and need help, here are some things you can do suggested by Caraballo.

View your partner with compassion. “When you find yourself wanting to blame your partner for all the problems in the relationship, try taking a step back and looking at the potential motivators behind their behaviour,” Caraballo said.

Find support. Support might involve talking to a close friend or trusted mentor.

Practice healthy communication. Pay close attention to how you talk to each other as you mend things.

Be gentle with each other, and try to avoid sarcasm and even mild jabs.

Be accountable. “Both partners must acknowledge their part in fostering the toxicity,” Lawsin said.

Relationships do not get better overnight. Over the next few months, work together on being patient and flexible with one another.

Indigenous love languages Does ‘love’ hold the same meaning in every language?

JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Love is a catch-all term for many kinds of feelings in the English language.

While the emotions of love are universal, the way we talk about them and the words we use to describe them are not.

Robert Johnson said in “The Fisher King and the Handless Maiden” that Sanskrit has 96 words for love; ancient Persian has 80, Greek three, and English only one. Take a look at some Indigenous words for love that often take on much more meaning than the English counterpart.

The word ganǫhkwásra in Cayuga translates to love among us. The same can be said for several Cree words — sakihitowin means love of your family and community; kisakihitin is love for your significant other.

“This is indicative of the poverty of awareness or emphasis that we give to that tremendously important realm of feeling,” wrote Johnson. “If we had a vocabulary of 30 words for love we would imme-

diately be richer and more intelligent in this human element so close to our heart.

Here are some other Indigenous words or phrases for love: The Tuscarora-English Dictionary by Blair A. Rudes says the Tuscarora word for love is unurehkwahcreh.

In the Onondaga-English Dictionary by Hanni Woodbury the Onondaga word for love (kindness) is ganowekhwáhsae. The word for love (respect) is gunowekhwa.

The Oneida-English Dictionary by Karen Michelson and Mercy Doxtator lists the word for love in Oneida as kanolukhwahsla.

The dictionary lists the word for ‘love someone’ as kunolukhwa.

According to the Te Aka Māori-English/English-Māori dictionary, the Maori in New Zealand would say aroha when meaning ‘to love.’

The Navajo may say ayóóʼáyóʼní when talking about having strong affections for someone or something.

The Ojibwe People’s Dictionary said zaagi’id-

iwin is used to reference ‘mutual love’ and zhawenim is used for unconditional love. Zaagi is how to say ‘love’.

In Mohawk the word is Ganohkwa.

Sheryl Paul wrote in an article titled, “96 Words for Love” that there are so many different ways to show and say love.

“When we attune our awareness and widen our consciousness to include these variations on our narrow cultural definition, we know that romantic love is multicoloured and multidimensional. It's infinitely richer than the images presented on the big screen, infinitely more nuanced and alive than the one-dimensional feeling of butterflies that sometimes initiates a relationship.

It's appreciation, comfort, gratitude, warmth, tingles, trust, awe, softness, joy, contentment, and stability (to name just a few words for love). It's real and honest, and when we commit to loving one person with whom we can learn about, it becomes one of the most fulfilling and meaningful paths we can embark upon,” she said.

spoke to the issue — confirming that the story is false.

“No, we are not turning into a municipality,” said Chief Hill.

It had been expressed on social media at Six Nations the last few weeks.

Chief Hill assured community that the elected council has not signed any agreements to turn the reserve into a municipality.

The Chief said that he was not sure where the story was coming from.

Councillor Bomberry said that the story was

believed to be surrounding the council’s decision to begin following the provincial COVID closure guidelines.

The stories on social media and circulation of misinformation was reaching a fever pitch as residents were threatening to protest and organize to stop a transition that was never even happening.

Council says they will prepare a statement to address the misinformation.

Self-compassion is the new self-love DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

When we think of Valentine’s Day, we think of romantic dinners with a love interest, marriage proposals, extravagant gift-giving to a significant other, struggling to get dinner reservations at your favourite restaurant, or a candlelit dinner at home.

Love is often a word associated with another person, or an object, or a pet. It is something we think of as being projected outwards, towards someone, or something else.

Rarely do we think of love as a natural or healthy feeling to experience or direct toward oneself. It connotes selfishness and is even pathologized in some cases. We ascribe selflove as being indicative of pathological disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder. We picture a highly-polished man or woman preening before every

mirror they see, not a hair out of place, or the tragic Greek figure Narcissus who died by the edge of a river after he fell in love with his own image reflecting back at him. That is not healthy self-love. That is extreme insecurity masquerading and compensating as selflove.

Instead of pathologizing the concept of self-love, psychologists and self-help circles are encouraging people to have self-compassion; to direct that compassion we would normally provide a friend during tough times to ourselves during our own tough times.

Most people struggle to like themselves, let alone love themselves. “Loving oneself” sounds like a vague pop psychology term with no real meaning. How do you “love yourself?” It doesn’t seem to make much sense or mean anything.

Let’s rephrase that this Valentine’s Day and think about being kind to yourself instead.

Kindness, self-compassion and self-acceptance are the concepts we need to focus on.

A lot of our issues are rooted in a deep-seated feeling of self-loathing.

We beat ourselves up and say things to ourselves we wouldn’t dream of saying to a best friend, an elderly parent, or a beloved child.

We aren’t as kind to ourselves as we should be.

We easily give that kindness away to others who are suffering.

But when we are suffering, or make mistakes, we berate ourselves. Berating oneself causes feelings of hopelessness, or giving up, and we then keep repeating the same self-defeating behaviours over and over again because we figure, ‘why bother? I’m just going to screw up again.’

Self-compassion workshops are at the root of many mental wellness programs and therapies for things like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, addictions, and trauma-related

disorders.

Being a supportive friend to yourself is at the root of self-compassion. A friend doesn’t have to be someone else – you can, and should be, your own best friend for life. And the internal monologue and ‘automatic thoughts’ you have every day shape how you feel about, and toward, yourself, shaping your own core self-concept.

If we were raised to be self-loathing by harsh caregivers, it stands to reason you’ll have a poor core self-concept in adulthood, which could lead to all sorts of unhealthy behaviour patterns.

So let’s define self-compassion. The three basic elements of self-compassion are self-kindness vs. self-judgment; common humanity vs. isolation; and mindfulness vs. over-identification.

Self-judgment is berating yourself for making mistakes and having personal shortcomings.

happier or more satisfied with yourself or your life.

Those comparisons will leave you feeling isolated and cut off from society – a reject among the “perfect” moms at the daycare drop-off circle. We all need to be kind to one another and ourselves. You are not meant to be flawless.

Finally, mindfulness is an important tool in self-compassion. Being aware of your emotions and feeling them adequately – neither too much, nor suppressing them – is a skill that can be learned. Over-identifying with your pain, sadness, anger, etc. leads to magnification of your suffering and that’s not anything anyone wants. Mindfulness teaches us to observe our emotions like clouds passing by in the sky – picture the emotions as a cloud and put a name on that cloud, identify them, label them, view them from afar.

This Valentine’s Day, re-connect with your one true love: yourself.

runner on the track team and that one girl is always beating you in every race, no matter how much training you put in, you can’t seem to catch her.

With self-kindness, you can tell yourself that you can’t be number one at everything and remember the times you did get first place in something. You can also tell yourself that your achievements do not define your self-worth and they shouldn’t define the level of kindness you give yourself.

Common humanity is realizing that every person is facing the same struggles you are; instead of comparing yourself and beating yourself up for not having it all together like that perfect-seeming mom with the perfect kids, house, outfit, hair, makeup and husband.

She is more than likely suffering in some deep-rooted way that you can’t see – she shares a common humanity with you and comparing her life with yours is not self-compassion, nor does it help you become

Chiefswood: love letters of Chief Johnson and Emily Howells on display Confederacy Chief walked away from arranged marriage, fell in love with Christian mission worker NAHNDA GARLOW

TWO ROW TIMES

OHSWEKEN — It’s a romance story for the ages, the kind that makes your hairs stand on end — two people from different worlds — one betrothed to another in an arranged marriage — meet, fall in love, break social and cultural stereotypes to run away and follow their hearts, getting married in secret instead of bowing to tradition.

In 1838, the New England Company brought in Adam Elliot, a newly appointed missionary, to lead the Tuscarora mission church at Six Nations.

In 1840, after his graduation from the Mohawk Institute, George Henry Martin Johnson, son of hereditary chief Sakayengwaraton John Smoke Johnson and clan mother Helen Martin, was hired to work as an English interpreter for Elliot.

It was the first of many important political

appointments Johnson would accept, making him an important player in inter-racial relations between Six Nations and white settlers in the area — which were very

strained at the time.

In 1845, Elliot’s wife brought her sister, Emily Howells, to live and help with the parsonage.

The story goes that the two began a romantic and

daring exchange of letters and books, often tucking in dried flowers from special places and publishing secret, unsigned love letters to one another in local newspapers.

Johnson was already betrothed to a woman from Six Nations in an arrangement organized by his mother. The pair became engaged to marry in 1848 and kept that engagement a secret for five years.

In 1849, the pair wrote sent one another secret love letters, published them in the local newspapers or including clippings from local papers in an almost early form of meme sharing. One poem, entitled “Secret Prayer”, was clipped and sent in a letter, calling on the lovers to “…go, in secret, pray…” in an almost In Canada at that time — a white woman marrying an Indigenous man was seen as a scandal.

So much so that Adam Elliot refused to marry the couple at the Tuscarora mission.

The engagement was kept a secret until the day before the couple married. The pair ran off to Kingston to be married by an Anglican Reverend, William Greig on August 27, 1853.

Now, Chiefswood is reaching into the archives of the family collection and showcasing the love letters kept between George and Emily in a new display at the Six Nations Tourism office, located at Chiefswood Park and home to the now National Historic Site of Chiefswood Mansion.

Kennedy began his health journey in 2015, losing nearly 150 pounds, and went on to start running, participating in marathons, beginning the Indigenous Running Club based in London in 2016, and working with community.

“What I feel like I have is the gift of sharing—being able to share my story, just to inspire people, not to necessarily become a marathon runner, a runner or anything, but just to improve their lifestyles knowing that I lost 150 pounds and changed my lifestyle completely. Part of it was fear of becoming diabetic. I was lucky that I wasn’t diabetic at the time, but I knew that I had to make changes because I was going down a path that would cause diabetes. For me, it was

a realization when some of my friends, who were the same age as me, were diabetic at the age of 31.

So I thought, ‘wow, this can happen to me,’” said Kennedy.

In January of last year, Kennedy was unfortunately exposed to Covid-19 and the virus affected his lungs, an experience that changed his perspective on running.

“I had heard from other people about not being able to run after having Covid, so I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to run. Part of what got me through it was praying and thoughts and I remember thinking ‘I want to run for more than myself now,’ because up to that point I was always focused on improving myself. Yeah, I did offer the running club and I did help people too, but I felt like there was more that I could do,” he said, and last year, he raised funds for a youth enterprise through a 50km Ultra Marathon in Calgary.

This past year, Kennedy ran the Chicago Marathon, one of the six World Marathon Majors, in under six hours.

With his accomplishments abound, his story is what caught the attention of the Official Charity Program of the Boston Athletics Association, after

A trailblazer in health, he hopes his story and goal of running the Boston Marathon this April as a charity runner will inspire others.

he shared his journey in his application to become a charity runner.

“The first thing I tried to do was I tried to find an Indigenous organization—they pretty much didn’t exist. I believe there is one, but they don’t accept applications, they select their runners,” he said. “I came across another organization called the Peer Health Exchange, and that was the only one I submitted to.”

The Peer Health Exchange is an organization that began in 2006 to work with youth in the greater Boston area through supportive partnerships with high schools. He said that what pushed him to select the Peer Health Exchange was also its focus on BIPOC youth.

Just two runners would be selected to run the marathon on behalf of the organization.

“When I was contacted by the charity team, the representative said right away that she loved my story, loved my journey, and really hoped that the Peer Health Exchange would select me. But if they didn’t, she would find another organization because she really liked the story and where I have come from,” he said.

Fortunately, Kennedy was chosen and he acquainted himself with

the organization and the second charity runner. He explained that the marathon is still tough to enter, and that 80 percent of the runners qualify by their run times.

“Boston isn’t an easy marathon to get into,” said Kennedy. “But there are a few ways to get in. One

runners. Another requirement calls for Kennedy to fundraise $10,000 in US dollars, which is just under $13,000 in Canadian dollars.

“It’s a huge goal and it’s a long journey,” he said, noting that he has garnered over $4,000 in Canadian dollars current-

“I do have until May 20, the month after to come up with the funds, but I feel like all of the momentum has to happen before it, because afterwards, it’ll be harder to raise money if the run is already done.

I’m really reaching for that goal of April 18,” he said.

“It’s also hard to ask people for money so what I’m trying to do is ask organizations for donations.”

He has since garnered a donation from the N’Amerind Friendship Centre, where he works as the Urban Aboriginal Healthy Living Coordinator.

Kennedy noted that the Boston Marathon is a bucket list item for many marathon runners, and that his way of qualifying is something he hopes inspires other Haudenosaunee people to trail-blaze and normalize pursuing and achieving their goals.

“A big thing for me is that I’m not a born and bred runner and I think it’s really important for people to know that, especially in our communities or anyone that’s Haudenosaunee, to know that if they wanted to run the Boston Marathon, there is possibility and there

“A big thing for me is that I’m not a born and bred runner and I think it’s really important for people to know that, especially in our communities or anyone that’s Haudenosaunee, to know that if they wanted to run the Boston Marathon, there is possibility and there are ways to do it. To run the same grounds as Tom Longboat did, maybe not win it like he did, but to run it is a real possibility,” — Joel Kennedy

way is through fundraising like I am, and with fundraising there does come a minimum expectation that’s quite high.”

He explained that it wasn’t until his fourth marathon that his run time was under the six hour barrier, which is a requirement of charity

ly. “It kind of feels like it’s such a huge goal that I might not reach it, but I am going to try.”

Kennedy explained that his focus is to clear the $10,000 donation, pick up the race package on April 15, and run by the following Monday in Massachusetts.
