Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council wants a Brantford developer to ease off on moving forward with a housing development just a stone’s throw away from where forensic experts are combing lands for potential hidden graves.

Council heard at its political liaison meeting on Monday that the developer wants to expand a subdivision near Birkett Lane and River Road – a site that is slated to be part of the continual search for children’s remains near the former Mohawk Institute Residential School.

A search for bodies using ground-penetrating radar began in the immediate field surrounding the school last fall. The search came after thousands of remains of Indigenous children were found at residential schools across the country in 2021 during ground searches, with additional discoveries this year, as well.

Liv Communities and Kingwood Developments

Kingwood Devleopments wants to pick up on developing the area south of the former Mohawk Institute where survivors are investigating potential gravesites for the former Indian Residential School.

SN Elected Council says they want to intervene.

KINGWOOD

want to expand the Riverwalk subdivision, council heard.

“The developers are being aggressive in trying to get to a place where they can start work,” said Robin Vanstone, consultation supervisor at Six Nations Lands and Resources. “I just wanted council to be aware of that. The proponents are very anxious to get this work done, however, it is within close proximity to the Mohawk Institute.”

At least one councillor

said the developers should halt their plans until several discussions take place, namely, with the Six Nations Survivors’ Secretariat, a community coalition created to oversee the search for remains at the former Mohawk Institute.

“It sounds like we need to take some action,” said Coun. Helen Miller.

Vanstone said City of Brantford feels stuck between a rock and hard place when it comes to permitting the development to move forward.

“They can’t stop the development,” she said.

But they could take the issue to the Ontario Lands Tribunal to delay the development.

“More often that not, the Ontario Lands Tribunal does side with the developer,” said Vanstone. “There is a good likelihood if it went that route, the development would be approved.

The developers are very smart people and they know that this is a sensitive area so they’re trying to work with the Survivors’

Secretariat to see what can be done. It’s an area that I think is very sensitive.”

The land in question sits in an area with a questionable history.

Lands and Resources Director Lonny Bomberry said the Six Nations Men’s Fire traded that land in Brantford for another piece of land on Oneida Road at Sixth Line in exchange for not shutting down the construction of the Riverwalk project sometime around 2013.

“In their view (the developer), they have already accommodated Six Nations,” said Vanstone.

“We clarified for them that they did not accommodate Six Nations.”

Coun. Miller said, “They accommodated the Men’s Fire, they didn’t accommodate Six Nations. We need to identify what kind of action needs to take place.”

Bomberry said his team is meeting with the survivors’ secretariat and will report back to council soon, because it is “time sensitive. They want to be able to proceed with their development. We’re going to continue talking to see if we can come to any resolution.”

Community input is now being sought on a massive electrical line spanning from Ontario to Pennsylvannia under Lake Erie.

Known as the Lake Erie Connector Project, the line has the potential to bring Six Nations about $40 million in revenue over 40 years depending on whether or not the community agrees to the accommodations being offered by ITC Investment Holdings.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation will hold the consultation sessions online for community input.

Calling it a “virtual investment review of the Lake Erie Connector project (LEC project)”, the sessions will take place from Mar. 1 to Apr. 30.

There will be 10 virtual sessions for community members to learn more about the project and understand options for participation.

Dillon Consulting Ltd. will facilitate the virtual sessions and provide an independent report capturing the dialogue with the community.

The LEC project is a bi-directional electricity cable being developed by ITC Investment Holdings Inc. as a solution to help address what it says are inefficien-

The power line will be submerged beneath Lake Erie and connect Ontario's power grid to Erie, Pennsylvania.

cies in Ontario’s Power Grid.

SNGRDC is conducting an in-depth investment review and is asking the Six Nations community to join the discussion, ask questions and provide comments. The project will include a connection to the Ontario grid at the former Nanticoke Generating Station, an electricity converter station located across the road and installation of an underground cable from the converter station along Haldimand Road 55 leading to Lake Erie.

The cable will be directionally drilled under the shore to avoid shoreline impacts, out into Lake Erie where a marine crew will lay the cable across to Erie, Pennsylvania. Any excess of electricity generated in Ontario will be sold to the United States and vice-versa. A preliminary term sheet contained an offer of $40 million to Six Nations over a minimum 45-year lifespan of the project.

“The LEC project will be constructed at no cost to hydro ratepayers, will create local employment opportunities, and will create

energy system efficiencies and resiliency,” SNGRDC said in a press release.

“Based on the investment review outcome, the LEC project could prove to be an attractive opportunity for Six Nations participation.

The intent of the investment review period is to provide transparency to the Six Nations community by publicly disclosing project and investment details.”

It will be the first community consultation in almost two years, ever since a worldwide pandemic was declared in March 2020.

Community members are invited to participate during the commentary period and are being asked to submit their questions to info@snfuture.ca or by visiting www.snfuture.com to register for a weekly webinar.

SNGRDC says, “there is a tight timeline for this investment review, so it is critical that we hear from our community.”

Community feedback will be captured in a final report to be presented to the Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council.

March 2nd, 2022

Not surprisingly, Six Nations students are faring much better in credit completion this year compared to the previous year, when the world was in the midst of the worst of pandemic restrictions.

Six Nations Elected Council heard from Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB) representatives that the year 2020-2021 had a particular impact on Six Nations students, but this past year has seen a reuptake in credit completion.

In the first quadmester of this year, 71 per cent of Six Nations grade 12 students were on track to graduate by the end of the year, “which is phenomenal,” said Superintendent Kevin Graham.

Last year, one of the words that comes to mind is “fragmented,” said Graham. Students went back and forth between in-person and remote learning at least four times.

The continual upheaval of those transition periods affected students.

“We know that this has been a really difficult time for all of us,” he said.

In a normal year, transitioning from summer breaks and holidays is difficult to begin with, he added.

There were four transi-

tion periods in 2020-2021.

Students started in person in September 2020, and

by January 2021, they were in remote learning. In February, they shortly went back to in-person learning, and by April, students were back to remote learning for the remainder of the school year.

“It posed some issues for many of our students,” he said.

Well-being became the priority as students worked toward credit completion.

The number of Six Nations students attending GEDSB schools dropped after the pandemic, as well.

In June 2020, there were 475 Six Nations students at GEDSB schools.

Three months later, in September 2020, there were 445. By the end of June 2021, there were 436.

Other statistics for Six Nations students in 20202021: -there were 66 graduates, four of them with gold honours (above 90 per cent average), four honours with distinction (above 80), and one honour roll.

-Mckinnon Park Secondary School in Caledonia hosted the largest number of Six Nations students, at 175, followed by Hagersville, at 132. Brantford Collegiate Institute had 58 Six Nations students, and the remaining students studied at various other area schools and vocational programs.

Six Nations students

lag in credit accumulation to graduate. Statistics for last year showed that only 48 per cent of Six Nations grade nine students had achieved enough credits to graduate on track in four year; in grade 10, the number of students on track to graduate is 39 per cent. By grade 11, the percentage rises slightly to 42 per cent, and by grade 12, 60 per cent of Six Nations in that age group are on track to graduate by the end of the year.

“Another way to look at the date is to say some students may not necessarily graduate in four years, they may take five years,” said Robin Staats, principal leader of Indigenous Education and Equity with the GEDSB. Ensuring higher graduation rates for Six Nations students is part of the focus in a 2021-2026 strategic plan for the board that focuses on a number of other goals for Indigenous students, including: -promoting truth and reconciliation -implementing the federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action on education -promoting community engagement in GEDSB reconciliation activities -developing Indigenous courses -promoting Indigenous culture

Indigenous people wearing kookum scarves in support of Ukraine DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The Western world was in mourning when it learned that Russia had invaded the neighbouring country of Ukraine in the early morning hours last Thursday and since then, social media has become a maelstrom of memes, opinions, information – and disinformation.

But Indigenous groups across Canada have come

out in droves to support the Ukraine against the unprovoked invasion.

One touching example of this support has been demonstrated among the Cree in Western Canada and Anishinaabe peoples in Northern Ontario, after a popular TikTok video by JayRoy Makokis explained the significance of the headscarf now being worn

by Indigenous people all over social media in solidarity with the Ukraine: the Kookum Scarf.

The scarf is a symbol

of the friendship formed many years ago between the first Ukrainian settlers and the Cree people, he explained. Makokis hails from the Saddle Creek First Nation in Alberta.

They helped each other and traded with each other in the early days and continue to do so.

“There was a very strong bond, especially here in Saddle Creek First Nation,” he said, adding that to this day, local Ukrainians come to the reserve to sell their goods and

interact with each other.

“There’s just a mutual respect, a historical respect,” he said.

The scarf is a brightly coloured and intricately designed piece of cloth featuring elaborate flower patterns that many Ukrainian women wear over the heads.

And you’ll also see Cree women wearing the scarves.

“You’ll still see to this day our old people, the old ladies, wearing them in ceremony,” said Makokis.

Young warriors wear them on their heads.

“It gives us pride. We feel very powerful with our scarves on our head.”

Indigenous people of all ages are now taking selfies wearing their kookums.

He asked Indigenous people across Turtle Island to pray, “for our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine.

Pray from your heart. Believe in your prayer. Prayer is so powerful. Prayer is what got us through so many difficult times.”

Kookum scarves are ever deadly, especially amongst the Cree people.

Marvin “Joe” Curry Veterans Powwow returns after two years

By TRT Staff ALLEGANY TERRITORY, SALAMANCA, N.Y. – Following a two-year absence driven by the coronavirus pandemic, the annual pow-wow is set to return to the Seneca Nation’s Allegany Territory this summer.

Organizers announced that the Marvin “Joe” Curry Veterans Powwow will again be held at Veterans Park in Salamanca on July 16 and 17.

“The powwow is a signature event, not only for the Seneca people, but

for friends and neighbours locally and across the country who have been a part of our celebration for many years,” the Powwow committee said. “ July can’t get here fast enough.”

The Seneca Nation presented the annual celebration for 30 years before the onset of the global pandemic forced the cancelation of the event in 2020 and 2021. Featuring a series of exhilarating dance and drum competitions, the powwow attracts competitors and visitors from across the

United States and Canada. It is one of the largest powwow celebrations in the northeast.

According to the Powwow committee, the event and seeing many familiar faces will be especially meaningful this year, given the difficulties brought on by the pandemic. Indigenous communities have been among the most impacted by the coronavirus. Federal statistics show that the COVID-related death rate among Native communities is nearly twice that of other populations.

“We have lost so many friends and loved ones over the past two years, within our Seneca community and across Indian Country,” the committee added. “Coming together for the powwow gives us all a chance to reconnect, reflect, honour those we lost, and, most of all, celebrate being together.”

The powwow honours Native American veterans and is named in honour of Marvin “Joe” Curry, a member of the Seneca Nation of Indians’ Snipe Clan, who led a long and distinguished career of military

service in the United States Navy, serving two tours of duty in the Korean War and also serving in the Vietnam War.

Schedule, registration and contest information for the 2022 Marvin “Joe” Curry Veterans Powwow will be announced soon.

MISSISSAUGAS OF THE CREDIT FIRST NATION/ OAKVILLE– The communities of MCFN and Oakville have launched a new website.

In a shared effort to build truth and reconciliation, the First Nation and the Oakville Community Foundation have launched the Debwewin (Oakville): The Oakville Truth Project on a website which talks about the two communities shared history.

“Debwewin” is one of the seven Anishnabek Grandfather Teachings and refers to “truth.” This project raises questions about Oakville’s Truths and invites the community to become part of a truth and reconciliation journey towards mutually respectful relations between Indigenous and non-Indigeous people.

Debwewin is inspired and guided by MCFN Elder Peter Schuler with

Allow me to reintroduce myself my name is Keith Grosbeck My name is Keith Grosbeck. It’s the name my Ma gave me. My first Name is Aaron but for as long as I’ve been alive people have preferred to call me Keith.

I used to tell my Dad that Keith was the good guy and Aaron was the bad guy.

My Ma named me after her brother Keith that had made his journey to meet creator at a young age.

Incidentally, Keith also is his middle name. His first name is Leslie. I bet some of you can guess why she named me Aaron. After the King of course. Elvis Aaron Presley! My Dad was a huge fan as many were but Elvis was a bit flashy of a name and obviously taken by some rad dudes. My Ma decided I was much more suited for the name Aaron.

I rarely use the first name but it’s on all my government identification and it’s weird for me to hear other people say it out loud to me. I grew up with insane fandom of Elvis. A lot of my relatives had his photo on their mantelpiece instead of their own family. They also had cabinets filled with memorabilia. Mostly from Graceland in Tennessee. Just to give you context on their love of him. I didn’t really grow into his music until I was older and I saw an HBO documentary on him that was quite interesting to me personally. I finally understood him.

One of the biggest things about my identity that I exemplify is that I am a human being that is creative. I don’t enjoy being vain so I represent my curated image with art and abstract photography on social media. I identify as Plains Cree, Chippewa, Munsee - Delaware, Oneida, Mohawk and Blackfoot.

I know right. That’s just what I’ve discovered about my indigenous heritage in the amount of time I’ve

been here on Earth. I’m still discovering new things about my heritage every day. Something I found out a few weeks ago when I took a deep dive on a family tree website was that I’m Mohawk. My ancestors were in Brant county. In my experience when discoveries are made like that, it’s totally meant to be!

When I moved to the United States I became close friends and family with some of the most profound living indigenous artists in the Southwestern United States. My BroDad Tony eventually nicknamed me KGB. It’s his hyphenation for Keith Gros Beck.

Living and being in Turtle Island has allowed me to transcend invisible borders and enjoy the unique circumstances that some of us are afforded with dual citizenship via Jay Treaty.

Just to clarify. I made up the term BroDad for two of my dear friends who are my mentors, fathers and brothers all in one.

My other BroDad is Larry.

The OG LP who invited me to live in Farmington, New Mexico. It was there I began this incredible self discovery and understand-

ing of my true purpose of being a creative. I was just a lost young man trying to discover who I was and what I was meant to do when I saw the window of opportunity and jumped headfirst through it into a deep abyss of magical realism and adventure.

I’m a huge fan of music and have been playing, listening, sharing, singing, dancing, air drumming, air guitaring, air keyboarding and collecting various recorded formats of musical recordings for most of my life. I prefer vinyl records and have amassed a pretty solid collection. If you meet me in person I’ll most likely gush over albums old and new with you that I’ve dropped the needle on in my lifetime. I’ve also been an avid photographer since a young age and Polaroid was my go to format before the digital age overshadowed the tangibility of a physical photo that was as instant as a post on social media. I recently did a show of my most current Polaroids after I discovered the new line of Polaroid cameras that did double exposure in camera. Years prior when I was deeply in-

volved in that format it was kinda technical to execute a double exposure in camera.

I still shoot regularly in many formats and enjoy capturing moments in time to share with others.

I recently moved here from beautiful and majestic Santa Fe, New Mexico. Yes. There is a new Mexico. It was once under the ocean and had volcanoes around it which are now inactive. If you go for a walk you might find something fossilized or a shark tooth from millions of years ago. I had a conversation recently from a friend who was telling me a story about Coral and how it’s been collected in the high desert for many generations.

Sometimes people will find a pile that people gathered that got scared off from their collecting that they might have either died or been run off. The coral has stayed in that same spot for maybe hundreds of years.

That area of the world had this magnitude to it that really puts you in your place.

You can be walking down the street and not see anyone anywhere in your peripheral and you can feel like the only person in the universe. Trips me out sometimes how incredibly small we are to the cosmos and cosmic giants. More on that another time.

I’m very new here in the Brantford area and I have a lot more to discover. I’m

The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation held a groundbreaking ceremony last Thursday to mark the start of construction on a long-awaited expansion of Lloyd S. King elementary school.

The LSK expansion will add additional classrooms and washrooms to the school, renovate the entrance for increased security, and provide an opportunity for the holistic approach to lifelong learning by including local early childhood education centres under one roof.

Both the daycare (Ekwaamjigenang Children’s Centre) and the local Indigenous-led EarlyON program will be housed under the same roof as the kindergarten to grade eight students under the expansion.

The project will also help eliminate overcrowding concerns, promote a

healthy and safe learning environment, and allow for further development of culturally-relevant curriculum for students.

“Providing our youth with a quality education in a safe environment to help them achieve success has always been our highest priority, said Chief Stacey Laforme. “This ceremony will mark the start of a very important moment for the future of education on our First Nation.”

Once the project is finished, said principal Dr. James Medway, “We are all immensely excited for the opportunity to serve the

needs of more students in our learning environments modeled by the Seven Grandfather Teachings.”

The project is being funded by MCFN, Indigenous Services Canada, and Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP).

“Thank you to Chief R. Stacey Laforme and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation for your collaboration as your community breaks ground for the Lloyd S. King Elementary School expansion project,” said Indigenous Affairs Minister Patty Hajdu.

The funding will also allow the completion of the

children’s centre construction, which will be moving into the school as part of the expansion.

“Having child and elementary school together under one roof will help meet the needs of the First Nation, as this will be a hub for families to access a variety of services such as speech therapists, nutritionists, behaviour consultants, and more,” said Chief Laforme.

Niacon Construction and VG Architects have been retained to work on the project.

Leaders announce start of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages Joint statement made by Canada, national leaders and commissioner of Indigenous languages

By Jace Koblun with files from Canadian Heritage On Feb. 21, International Mother Language Day, several Canadian and Indigenous leaders announced the start of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages.

Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage, National Chief RoseAnne Archibald of the Assembly of First Nations, President Natan Obed of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and President Cassidy Caron of the Métis National Council united their voices to mark the beginning of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022–2032), declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

"For each of us, our language is central to our identity, community and culture. Language is essential in how we share our stories and our history, and how we connect

with one another. That is why Canada is proud to support Indigenous language revitalization. We will mark the International Decade of Indigenous Languages by accelerating the implementation of the Indigenous Languages Act in a co-developed and co-operative manner with Indigenous partners.

We must support First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in their efforts to revitalize their languages and build the next generations of speakers of Indigenous languages,” said Rodriguez.

In addition, Commissioner of Indigenous Languages Dr. Ronald E. Ignace, is pleased to underscore the importance of the Decade bringing focus and awareness to Indigenous languages and Indigenous language rights.

The aim of the Decade is to draw global attention to the loss and current risks to Indigenous languages, and to mobilize stakeholders and resourc-

of the Commissioner of Indigenous Languages will also be important in helping to promote Indigenous languages and supporting Indigenous peoples in achieving their language revitalization goals. But we need to do more.

“Throughout this Decade, we will collaborate to share their stories, and support events and activities that highlight the important role of Indigenous languages in Canada

and the work underway to revitalize and maintain them. Our goal is to plan for the Decade and create a legacy we can leave for our children and for our children's children. They are the ones who will keep Indigenous languages alive,” said the release.

"The Canadian government and numerous religions, particularly the Catholic church spent, by today's standards, billions of dollars destroying First Nations languages and cultures. In the Decade ahead, I look forward to their re-investment and support as we undo the damage that they have done. The first step is a fully funded Indigenous Languages Act. Today and throughout the Decade ahead, we can walk the healing path forward as we lift up Language Champions and every single First Nation person re-learning to speak their language,” said National Chief RoseAnne Archibald,

Assembly of First Nations.

Join those who are honouring, promoting and celebrating the cultural richness of all Indigenous languages in Canada and around the globe.

"As Inuit, our language is a foundation of our culture and identity.

As we embark on this International Decade of Indigenous Languages, we reflect on the resilience of Inuktut, which remains among the strongest Indigenous languages in Canada. Inuit have experienced significant language loss, however, and the task of protecting Inuktut can't be ours alone. Our hope is that the next ten years will bring renewed support and revitalization efforts to help Inuktut become a dominant language in Inuit workplaces, schools and homes,” said Natan Obed, President, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

A new award for underground dance single celebrates less mainstream sounds often heard on club dance floors.

New Indigenous Golf Championship to be held at MontHill Golf Course

By TRT Staff with notes from gao.ca UXBRIDGE — “Golf for all” is a statement that is extremely important to Golf Ontario. Golf Ontario believes that the great game of golf should be enjoyed by, and accessible to, all Canadians.

Today, and with this commitment to DEI in mind, Golf Ontario is thrilled to announce the launch of the Indigenous Ontario Golf Championship, the first provincial golf championship for indigenous people in Canada.

Open to golfers of First Nations (North American Indian), Métis, or Inuk (Inuit) descent, the inaugural Indigenous Ontario Golf Championship will be held on September 19-20, 2022, at the MontHill Golf and Country Club, hosted

MJHL Dauphin Kings player receives suspension verdict for gross misconduct penalty

By TRT Staff with notes from MJHL.ca MANITOBA — On February 19, the MJHL completed the review of the Gross Misconduct Penalty assessed to Dauphin Kings Klim Georgiev after the end of a game held between the Dauphin Kings and Waywayseecappo Wolverines in Dauphin.

The MJHL provided the following release upon the verdict: “After a thorough review, and in consideration of the sincere input received from of all of the individuals and organizations involved, the following disciplinary action has been delivered: Dauphin Kings Klim Georgiev has been

suspended a minimum of eighteen games (11 regular season and seven playoff games) subject to completion of the process of reconciliation committed to below as a result of his Gross Misconduct Penalty for discriminatory taunting under Hockey Canada rule 11.4.”

“The discriminatory taunting was a public display which consisted of a widely recognized racial gesture which was very hurtful to many persons who viewed it.

The gesture was directed specifically to an indigenous player while he was skating away well after the final buzzer of the game. This gesture was indicated that it was in retaliation to the action of

the opposing player making a celebratory gesture earlier in the game after a goal. After thorough review of the video and in consultation with the on-ice officials, this factor was found to be without merit or justification. The opposing players’ celebratory action was a common hockey manner of celebration after a goal.”

The MJHL wrote that “any event or situation – hurtful retaliation is unacceptable.” The incident was reviewed and deemed as conduct detrimental to the game of hockey and the MJHL. “Mr. Georgiev’s apology to the player and the Waywayseecappo Wolverines organization has been accepted and he has start-

Break The Bias: International Women’s Day 2022 IWD coming March 8 JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Organizers of International Women’s Day 2022 (IWD) are asking the world to imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

"Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias,” said the organization’s website.

The theme for IWD 2022 is #BreakTheBias and lands on March. 8.

“In the early 1900s, oppression and inequality were pushing women to become more vocal and active in campaigning for change. At the International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910, Clara Zetkin, leader of the Women’s Office for the Social Democratic Party in Germany, tabled the idea of an International Women's Day. She proposed that every year in every country, there should be a celebration on the same day to press for change.

The conference of more

than 100 women from 17 countries, representing unions, socialist parties and working women’s clubs, and International Women's Day was born,” said a Feb. 28 press release from the Ontario Nurses’ Association.

The association said whether deliberate or unconscious, bias makes it difficult for women to move ahead. Knowing that bias exists isn't enough.

Action is needed to level the playing field.

“We are all responsible for breaking the bias against women: in our communities, in our workplaces, in our schools, colleges and universities. In 2022, we are committed to calling out bias, smashing stereotypes, breaking inequality, and rejecting discrimination,” said the association.

Organizers are asking you to cross your arms to show solidarity.

“Strike the IWD 2022 pose and share your #BreakTheBias image, video, resources, presentation or articles on social media using #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias to encourage further people to commit to helping forge an inclusive world,” said organizers. “We can break the bias in our commu-

nities. We can break the bias in our workplaces.

We can break the bias in our schools, colleges and universities. Together, we can all break the bias – on International Women's Day (IWD) and beyond.

So strike the IWD #BreakTheBias pose with your arms crossed to show your commitment to calling out bias, smashing stereotypes, breaking inequality, and rejecting discrimination.

IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality.

IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere.

IWD is not country, group or organization specific.

Hearing voices: gift or mental illness?

By Donna Duric In Western medicine, hearing voices is seen as a symptom of mental illness.

But hearing voices is not always indicative of mental illness, explained traditional knowledge keeper Eddie Thomas during an online community wellness session last week.

“When it comes to hearing voices, there are some in our culture who have the gift of being able to hear spirits and they speak to them,” said Thomas. “Not everyone has this gift.”

But when the voice tells

you to do bad things, it’s not coming from the other side, he explained.

That is when people should consider getting treatment and sticking to medication regimens, in addition to using traditional healing practices, said Thomas, who helps people suffering with mental illness using traditional ceremonies.

“If someone’s on medication, they should stick to their medication,” he said. “They (traditional medicine and Western medicine) work in hand in hand. It takes both.”

The discussion was part of an ongoing series by the Six Nations Health

Promotion team to help bring the community together and learn about different topics during the pandemic.

About one in 10 people will hear voices in their lives, said Sam Burwell, early intervention case manager for Six Nations.

She said it’s quite a common experience.

There are a number of reasons that could trigger a person to hear voices from people that aren’t there: traumatic life experiences, stress, worry, lack of sleep, extreme hunger, side effect of prescriptions and recreational drugs, grief, mental health conditions such as schizophre-

nia and severe depression, and sometimes, spiritual gifts.

Hearing voices is most commonly associated with psychosis – when someone has lost touch with reality.

“People suffering from psychosis sometimes cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is not,” said Burwell.

Psychosis causes changes in someone’s thoughts, perceptions, beliefs and behaviours that leads them to perceive reality differently.

Psychosis occurs frequently in those with schizophrenia or bipolar

like to live with auditory hallucinations, presenters played a recording of voices speaking in the background while asking them to complete tasks like crossword puzzles. It was hard for most participants.

Risk factors for developing psychosis include abuse at any stage of life, being birthed by a mother experiencing severe stress while pregnant, being born in the winter, genetic predisposition, drug abuse, brain trauma, tumours, living in an inner city, prenatal or postnatal infection or experiencing a difficult birth.
