It was an emotional ‘mini' grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for Mary Monture on Tuesday, May 10, as she gave a heartfelt speech thanking the community for all its support, donations, time and energy over the years to see the Six Nations Food Bank (SNFB) in its own building.

The SNFB has been operational in its new location since December 2019 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it wasn’t a good time to announce its grand opening. Now that restrictions have lifted and the community is in the middle of Community Awareness Week, Monture thought it was time to announce the SNFB’s new permanent location.

“When we moved here in 2019 we were not able to make an official announcement and hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony,” said Monture, chair of the

SNFB Board of Directors, adding that the new location is more central and easier for community members to get to on foodservice day.

“It’s great. It’s been a long time coming and we’ve got a lot to thank the community for,” she said. “To see what we have now and be able to provide for the community is

very thrilling.”

Linda Doolittle, one of the original founders of the then-named Agape Food Bank, was at the grand opening and cut the ribbon.

Doolittle helped start the very first food bank on Six Nations in the basement of the church she attended at the time, the Six Nations Pentecostal

Church, in the ‘80s. She recalled how different it was back then.

“We took over the whole basement of the church and had little alleyways you had to walk through to get anywhere because the boxes of food and other items were stacked so high and we hardly had any space,” she said. “We had people

coming from all over like Brantford and Hamilton, not just Six Nations. I’m thankful that we did it and that we stayed committed to the needs of the community. I’m happy.”

Tracy Martin, the SNFB co-ordinator, said she is excited for the community to see what is available and know how to access it.

“I’m excited for everyone to see what is here. When people come on foodservice day it’s drive-thru only. So for people to come today and see the building, what we have available, how to access it — it is so encouraging,” she said.

The SNFB invited guests inside for a small tour of the facility after the ribbon was cut. The Community Awareness Week event concluded with cake and a donation announcement of $2,500 from K.L. Martin and Associates Corporation, followed by a second donation of $2,500 from First Nations Engineering Services.

MMIWG2S National Day of Action and Awareness honours loved ones DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Six Nations came together to honour their loved ones during the MMIWG2S National Day of Action and Awareness at Veteran’s Park last Thursday.

And guests learned that the global pandemic of the last two years also produced another, less-talked about pandemic: domestic violence.

It’s been referred to as a “shadow pandemic,” said Dr. Vanessa Watts-Powless, an Indigenous studies professor at McMaster University.

“The reasons are not surprising. The pandemic has exacerbated all forms of inequality. The shelter here at Six Nations shows us that frontline workers were essential workers.

Frontline workers had to work even harder during the pandemic.”

There was also a focus on losing men and boys to violence.

“The issue of losing men and boys is a big

She told guests at the vigil that Ganohkwasra is here to help families in crisis and assist those in domestic violence situations.

tler-colonialism, she said.

“Today, we remember the more than 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women that we know of since 1980, all those we lost before them and those who remain unaccounted for.”

The vigil honoured the memory of Aileen Joseph, who was a tireless advocate for MMIWG on behalf of her daughter Shelley, who was murdered in Hamilton, Ont. in 2004.

Aileen passed away in 2021.

“She was soft-spoken and she was a fierce advocate,” said Watts-Powless.

“Today, I’m remembering her,” along with MMIWG. Montour stressed to the community that women are the gateway between the Skyworld and the Earth and they need to be honoured.

“They bear our children which are our most precious resource,” said Montour.

Candles were lit in honour of loved ones lost to violence and placed at the cenotaph at Veteran’s Park.

The $1.3 million will be dispersed over three years and is part of the $20 million earmarked by Ontario to fund the searches of all 15 of the provinces Indian Residential School sites for unmarked graves.

In January 2022, the federal government pledged $10.2 million dollars to the Mohawk Institute investigation over three years.

“Our government is committed to supporting the Survivors’ Secretariat’s complex work to uncover, document and share the truth about what happened at the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School during its 136 years of operation,” said Greg Rickford,

Minister of Indigenous Affairs. “We continue to welcome a dialogue with the leaders of Six Nations and the Survivors’ Secretariat about issues that are important to their community, including the confirmation of unmarked burials at the former Mohawk Institute.”

“This is important work, sacred work. We have not had the healthiest of relations, we hope, this changes moving forward. We remind Ontario we need answers, that is what matters.

Chief Mark Hill offered his thanks for the funding saying, “I would like to thank the Ontario government and Minister Rickford for this funding to support the important work of the Survivors’ Secretariat in bringing our children home. Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council remains committed to supporting the mandate of the Survivors’ Secretariat and maintains an open dialogue with all levels of government

as we continue to seek justice for Survivors.”

The Mohawk Institute was run by the Anglican Church of Canada and the Government of Canada from 1885 to 1970, making it the longest operating residential school in Canada. Children from Six Nations and many other First Nations across Canada were forced to attend.

The Survivors’ Secretariat was established in 2021 to organize and support efforts to uncover, document and share the truth about what happened at the Mohawk Institute during its operation.

Roughly 8,000 of the estimated 80,000 Indian Residential School Survivors lived in Ontario.

Cooking show wraps filming on Six Nations DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

It is a show that will be sure to delight, with its colourful characters and spotlight on traditional Haudenosaunee foods, but viewers will have to wait until at least 2023 to see the episode.

Six Nations will be the focus of an upcoming episode of APTN’s long-running cooking documentary “Moosemeat and Marmalade.”

The unique documentary-style cooking show features bush cook Art Napoleon and British Chef Dan Hayes bringing cultures together as they travel the country and cook local foods in their own culinary style.

And on Six Nations — corn, strawberries, wild game and fish play a large part in the traditional Haudenosaunee diet.

Maple and honey are also going to be featured.

On Moosemeat and Marmalade, Napoleon and

Hayes spiced up those staples with a modern flair during filming at various locations including two local successful culinary hotspots: Yawekon, owned

by Chef Tawnya Brant, and Dixieland Grill, owned by Nick “Nitro” Wyman.

Hayes was enchanted by the community and the people.

“We’re learning about the importance of corn,” he said during a break in filming last Thursday. “And the importance of freshwater fish, the importance of beans and learning about some of the structure of Six Nations. It’s been fabulous. The people here have been so hospitable.

We’ve been looked after so well wherever we go. It’s just been an adventure. Everyone I’ve met has been absolutely charming.”

During each episode of Moosemeat and Marmalade, the two chefs go into a different First Nation community to showcase their culinary delights, culture and traditional foods.

cultures together through food and of course, incredible humour.

There was no shortage of good-natured ribbing and gallows humour among the chefs and cast as they cooked a meal in the kitchen at the Dixieland Grill. Afterward, each chef was individually interviewed to talk about their experience in the kitchen.

Napoleon, who is described as a bush cook for his penchant for cooking over an open fire and love of wild game, kept the crew in stitches with his raucous and good-natured humour.

Hayes also shares a love of wild game with his co-star, saying that he even eats wild game every day of his life.

“In the UK, deer is a big part of life. We have six species of deer, two of them are native. Unlike in North America, wild game can be bought and sold in the UK.” Every year, he said, 300,000 carcasses of venison go into the country’s food chain.

“I don’t eat domestic animals at all,” he said. “For me it’s a big part of life.”

Napoleon has loved cooking since he was a kid, watching his grandmother and aunts.

“I loved food and I loved the land so just put the two together and that’s how I started this normal homestyle cooking. I grew up in the moose hunting culture.”

He hails from a small reserve on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, with Cree and Dene influences.

They would ride right into the bush on horses, hunt moose and cook it there on the fire.

When he was 14, he skinned and gutted a moose on his own for the

first time.

He loves making comfort foods, and mixing cultures together in his creations. For instance, he’ll make a jambalaya using bison meat for the sausage. When making paella, he’ll use rabbit.

Last week, fish was the central component of the dish he cooked at Dixieland Grill during filming.

“Wherever we go, we try to honour the food of that territory. Here it’s all about the corn and the beans so we made dishes using various kinds of corn.”

Viewers will also get to see how he made a corn, quinoa and bean medley salad in this episode.

“There’s so many things I didn’t know about corn, the diversity of corn, the variety of corn. I learned the many different ways corn is turned into different dishes.”

and where First Nations, Inuit and Metis people and communities are all able to access Indigenous midwifery. For too many generations government policies have suppressed Indigenous midwifery, inflicted violence and trauma, and denied families access to culturally specific and safe care, but Ellen has been working tirelessly to change that," Sarah Cunningham, from Rama First Nation with roots in Brunswick House First Nation, and organizer with the Layton Legacy.

"Colonization and the medicalization of childbirth have shaped gov-

ernment policies and led to the removal of birth from First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities.

Forcing pregnant people to travel great distances to give birth exposes them to systemic racism and isolates them from their circle of support and producing compromised reproductive health outcomes. As a result, there are many Indigenous communities that have not witnessed a birth in generations. Midwifery is fundamental to healing," Ellen says. "I will receive this award on the land of my people, the Haudenosaunee, with the commu-

nity of midwives standing beside me."

Ellen graduated from the Midwifery Education Program at Toronto Metropolitan University in 2007. Following her graduation, she worked at Native Child and Family services, developing policies and programs focused on keeping Indigenous mothers and parents and their infants and newborns together. She co-founded Seventh Generation Midwives of Toronto in 2006.

She is a Board Member at the Indigenous-governed Toronto Birth Centre. She was the Indigenous health lead at the Ministry of

Health; Toronto Central LHIN and co-developed the Toronto Indigenous Health Strategy. Since 2014, Ellen has led work at the Association of Ontario Midwives to reclaim, restore and de-colonize Indigenous midwifery.

"Through this award, we carry on Jack's legacy by recognizing and supporting an Indigenous activist who is a powerful changemaker. One of Jack's true hopes was that we would all continue to work towards true reconciliation," Olivia Chow, former MP and city councillor and widow of Jack Layton.

Bill 96 will harm Indigenous people in Quebec

By Richard Budgell One of the reasons I moved to Quebec in 2015 was because of the melange of languages in which many Quebecers — especially in Montreal — live and work. Some are able to change languages from sentence to sentence; others will switch in the middle of sentences or speak in an ever-changing medley of languages.

The language dance happens most frequently between French and English, but other languages can be involved — such as Indigenous and immigrant languages.

The reality of multilingualism goes very far back in Quebec: the perceived founder of French Quebec, Samuel de Champlain, even knew ``a smattering of [Indigenous] languages, not enough to speak di-

rectly on sensitive questions. Most of his communications had to happen through interpreters.''

However the mythic view of historical dominance held by some Quebecers is that ``la langue francaise [?] s'est implantee officiellement au Quebec avec Samuel de Champlain en 1608'' or, the French language was officially established in Quebec with Samuel de Champlain in 1608.

As the leader of a tiny, vulnerable French outpost, Champlain probably thought more about making alliances with Indigenous nations, which would allow the French colonists to survive, than he did about official languages.

Indigenous nations, and languages, have endured — as have the descendants of the original

French settlers (including me), joined by British settlers and a mix of immigrants from all over the world, to create a diverse and complex society.

And all of this contributes to why Bill 96 is so problematic. The proposed bill, ``An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Que?bec,'' will reduce the accessibility to health-care services in English. This which will drastically and negatively impact Indigenous people.

As a researcher and teacher of Inuit health, I find this deeply troubling.

Indigenous experience in Quebec Part of Quebec's complexity is ensuring equity for all its citizens.

For Indigenous people in the province, equitable treatment can seem fleeting.

In the health-care system, systemic discrimination against Indigenous people has been formally recognized. In 2019, the Quebec-mandated Viens Commission concluded that ``it is clear that prejudice toward Indigenous Peoples remains widespread in the interaction between caregivers and patients,'' and recommended ``cultural safeguard principles'' be incorporated into health services and programs for Indigenous people.

In October 2021, coroner Gehane Kamel's top recommendation in

her report on the death of Joyce Echaquan was that the province needs to recognize that systemic racism exists and take concrete action to eliminate it.

To receive health care in a language that you speak is obviously a dimension of cultural safety.

So it's all the more disappointing that a recently released plan to reform the Quebec health-care system ignores systemic discrimination and cultural safety for patients.

The problem with Bill 96 In an analysis of Bill 96,

Montreal lawyer and advocate Eric Maldoff says: ``Even when the staff and institutions have the option to use another language, Bill 96 strongly directs them to avoid exercising it and specifies that a language other than French should not be used systematically, such as by establishing translation services. There is an option to use a language other than French in case of health, public safety and natural justice. However, it seems aimed at dealing with a health emergency of an individual.''

For the first time in what feels like forever, the Six Nations community will be openly celebrating Community Awareness Month.

The tradition of local businesses, and community service providers opening up their doors for fun fairs, information sessions, free food and contests is back and this year the theme will be celebrating Six Nations past, present and future.

This month, as we share our part in Six Nations history — Two Row Times is taking a special look at some of the community’s past, present and future right here in the pages of our weekly newspaper.

There are of course the monumental items in our history that are often discussed: Six Nations settling the Grand, that illegal land surrender, residential schools and so much more of the big topic things. But

the community is absolutely rich in gold nuggets of untold history and tradition and those are some of the stories we are bringing out this month.

This week, we share the story of how Bread and Cheese became a thing to give away to celebrate the Queen. It’s illogical, but historically important.

We also look at the ferry on Chiefswood Road.

For Gen X and older — and maybe even some of the older Milennials on the Territory — you would have travelled across the river on that very ferry.

We will also look at stories in the next few weeks about what is going on right now in the present — and how it will affect Six Nations future, sort of like those Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 1980s.

For us, we’re proud to be a part of the ongoing

history of Six Nations on the Grand. Our team is made up of Haudenosaunee families and ally families who have invested time, love and care in telling the stories of the people of Six Nations and it’s a job we take care in doing.

From our administrative team, to our sales team and up to the editorial and production teams — the culture is always centred in everything that we do and that is what makes Two Row Times such a special place to work. We are grateful for your support as a community, for your patience, for your wisdom and for everything that you as a community do to make Six Nations strong, resilient and authentic.

So Happy Community Awareness Month! Check out some of the community events taking place and we’ll see you out there!

Call for a national Indigenous alert system as search for child continues CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

REGINA — Stephanie Harpe lives one province away from where fiveyear-old Frank Young from the Red Earth Cree Nation disappeared, but as an Indigenous woman she feels it is her duty to help.

Harpe said Indigenous communities across Canada are often the ones leading the search for their missing.

They share photos and tips on social media, and raise awareness through Aboriginal Alert, a grassroots website that provides up-to-date information about missing Indigenous people. ``We're doing a lot of the work ourselves,'' said Harpe, a member of Fort McKay First Nation in northeastern Alberta and a missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls activist based in Edmonton.

But Indigenous groups say they can't continue to do it alone.

In recent weeks, advocates have increased their call for a national Indigenous alert system as the search for Frank continues in northern Saskatchewan.

The boy was last seen April 19 at a playground in the Red Earth community.

``There's a lack of awareness, and when an Indigenous person goes missing, it's not taken seriously,'' said Aly Bear, third vice-chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. ``It's just on us, and we make the posts on Facebook, but it's not the same as alerting the whole community.''

The federation, which represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan, said an Indigenous alert system is needed because Amber Alerts don't apply to all missing persons.

Amber Alerts are sent out on cellphones, television and radio to notify the public and ask for help in locating an abducted child believed to be in danger.

In the case of Frank, RCMP did not issue an Amber Alert because, they've said, there's no evidence to suggest he was abducted. ``We all feel very let down. We feel forgotten and we feel highly targeted as well,'' Harpe said. ``That is because we never see justice. We never see support.''

Studies across Canada show Indigenous people, especially women, disappear at a disproportionately higher rate than white people or other visible minorities.

The Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police is one of a few policing

bodies that report statistics on missing persons.

Its latest data indicates that almost 45 per cent of people who vanished between 1940 and 2020 were Indigenous, despite representing just over 16 per cent of the population in a 2016 census. ``This is the real life of an Indigenous mother, an Indigenous father, who have to go through this constantly. It's heartbreaking,'' Harpe said. ``We're not seeing any kind of change for the very oppressed Indigenous peoples in this

country.''

Earlier this year, Washington state proved Indigenous alerts are possible. In March, it passed a law to create a network to help identify and locatemissing Indigenous people.

When activated, an alert broadcasts information about a missing person on message signs and in highway advisory radio messages. It also provides details through news releases to local and regional media.

Harpe and Bear said they would like a similar

model in Canada.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said it's a conversation worth having. ``Whether it's an Indigenous Amber Alert, or enhancements to the Amber Alert that we have, that may be a conversation our minister (of policing) could have with the RCMP potentially,'' Moe said last week. ``Any time there's opportunity for us to enhance some of the procedures around missing children ... it's worthy of a discussion.''

Saskatchewan RCMP

Insp. Murray Chamberlin said the RCMP would be open to talks and willing to help bring in some type of separate Indigenous notification. ``But obviously the feasibility of that would have to be researched and conversations would have to take place amongst all the partners,'' he said.

Harpe said having Indigenous alerts would be huge. ``It could make Indigenous people feel like they matter.''

Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert began the tradition of distributing gifts to Indigenous people in the British Empire on the Queen’s birthday during their reign. The gift eventually changed from blankets to bread and cheese – a customary gift to England’s poor – at the pressure of British politicians to reduce the cost of the couple’s philanthropic spending abroad.

Upon Albert’s death in 1861, dispersions of bread and cheese on the Queen’s birthday were picked up by the hereditary chiefs and burgeoning Department of Indian Affairs. in the 1880s at Six Nations – who bore the expense out of their own funds as a celebration of the Queen’s Birthday event every year. In 1882 a total of $189.29 was given to

the community for Bread, Cheese, and prize money for races held in celebration of Her Majesty’s Birthday.

Year after year, requests were made up to the year of Victoria’s death in 1901.

The Six Nations chiefs took initiative after her passing to continue the tradition, even beginning a new tradition called “Indian National Day” in place of Victoria Day. The new National Day was hoped to install indigenous pride in the people of Six Nations and the first Indian National Day celebrations were shared in 1908 with Oneida Nation of the Thames.

The Six Nations Chiefs eventually did not carry on with Indian National Day, deciding after community discussions to just Carr on with Victoria Day as usual.

They keep the tradition going until the hereditary chiefs were removed and an elected system put in play in 1924 by the RCMP. The elected council then picked up the tradition in the 1930s and it has been continued on through to today.

Community Awareness 2022, which began May 2 and runs until the 27th, is a celebration of today’s Six Nations community, its people, its business,

its services and its sports teams. Neighbouring communities are invited to join in on the celebrations too.

Normally it’s an annual gathering of family and friends from across Turtle Island to get reacquainted with one another. But for the past two years Bread and Cheese Day organizers had been forced to operate differently due to the COVID-19 pandemic — setting up deliveries and other ways community members could receive their bread and cheese, as opposed to the usual walkthrough at one of the local arenas.

This year organizers and community members are looking forward to reconnecting in the same way as before — allowing for possibly even greater reconnecting and friendships made than prior Bread and Cheese Day celebrations. This year Bread and Cheese Day is being held at the Six Nations Sports & Cultural Memorial Centre and returns to in-person pickup.

According to the Community Awareness 2022 Event Booklet, home deliveries are available.

Arrangements must be made by contacting Six Nations Elected Council’s Administration.

Moccasin Identifier puts foot down in right direction JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Carolyn King from Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) had the idea for the Moccasin Identifier in 2011. After several rounds of fundraising and soft launches, King and her partners at MCFN have been busy marking historic sites and the presence of Indigenous communities through stamps of stencils of moccasins throughout southern Ontario.

Two Row Times newspaper caught up with King this week for an update and to learn how Six Nations of the Grand River Territory and MCFN can be more involved.

King, former chief of MCNF and Order of Canada inductee, said the goal of Moccasin Identifier is to create treaty awareness across the country by painting stencils of four different moccasins on historic sites, honouring the treaty the land is on.

King was originally tasked

“If we as First Nations do not get a marker on the ground today, we’re going to be lost forever,” Carolyn King.

by MCFN Elected Council to come up with a design for the marker.

“Originally we had talked about what we could use to mark the land, treaties and sites. Eagle feathers came up, clan systems came up, as well as a few other ideas.

But we felt those were too important to us to be down on the ground and walked over. So I thought about it and I felt moccasins were the best idea,” she said. “I have a dream this province

will be covered in moccasin identifiers in the next 10 years. So everyone will know what land and treaty they’re on.”

The four stencils include designs that are based on real moccasins worn by those who lived there at the time. The moccasin stencils represent the Cree in the north, Anishinaabe throughout Ontario, the Seneca in the south and the Huron. King encourages organizations, schools,

homeowners and anybody who is interested in learning about the province’s treaties or marking their own spot with a moccasin identifier to reach out online and purchase a Moccasin Identifier Kit for $100.

“We’re working with a lot of schools right now who approach us and ask how they can get involved in Moccasin Identifier. On our site, educators can choose the appropriate cur-

STAFF

riculum to download and teach their students what land they are on and what treaty is involved,” she said.

King also said community members should feel free to participate and do the same.

“If people from the community want to participate also that would be great and only help promote our vision. The paints are non-toxic and can be stamped on your own driveway, property,

anywhere you would like to mark.”

King said she has learned a lot about the land, treaties and people since starting Moccasin Identifier.

And also has had a lot of fun meeting new people along the way and seeing the excitement on someone’s face as they stamp a moccasin.

“People think they can’t do it, or it’s too complicated and hard to set up. But it’s really not difficult at all,” said King. “It’s a small plastic stencil which comes with a little paint tray. You put the paint on the roller and roll it over the stencil.

When you lift the stencil off, the co-ordinating stamp is revealed.”

King said Moccasin Identifier is important for the sake of remembering that Indigenous, Metis and First Nations people are still here.

“If we as First Nations do not get a marker on the ground today, we’re going to be lost forever,” she said.

Memories and lore from the old Grand River Ferry DONNA DURIC

Six Nations residents used to take a ferry to cross the Grand River at the end of Chiefswood Road and Sixth Line.

Before the Chiefswood Bridge was built, Six Nations residents used to take a ferry to cross the Grand River.

And, oh, the memories and sepia-tinged photos are sure to bring out the nostalgia as the community celebrates its past, present and future this month in anticipation of the Bread and Cheese celebrations on the May 24 weekend.

There are a few scarce black and white photos showing Isaac “Ike” Green and Gene Green operating the ferry that are held by family members and housed at the Six Nations Public Library, allowing community members the opportunity to step back in time and reminisce about their memories using the ferry before the bridge became fully accessible in 1984.

There is a bit of lore surrounding the ferry, including some accounts that it sank during the Grand River Champion of Champions Powwow but local historians are unsure of the year.

Local families loved using the ferry to cross the Grand River to visit Chiefswood Park, where the home of famed

Mohawk Poetess Pauline Johnson is located.

The ferry used to carry not only human cargo, but vehicles as well. People would either stay in their cars during the crossing or get out to view the scenery of the river.

Some community members are still able to remember their times using the ferry clearly, while others have faint childhood memories.

There are a few photos floating around community family photo albums tinged with that black and white nostalgia showing those memories and we’ve gathered a few for you to enjoy.

The ferry served as Six Nations’s connection to the world on the other side of the river.

It used to cost passengers as little as 10 cents per trip. According to various records on Six Nations, Pauline Johnson wrote a poem about a previous ferry before a new one was launched on Sept. 5,1968.

It was proudly advertised as being built entirely by local labour using steel, at a cost of $16,000.

Six Nations negotiated the installation of the Chiefswood Bridge in the early 80s under the guidance of the late Band Council Chief Wellington Staats, who passed away in 2014.

Indigenous homelessness in Montreal a 'humanitarian crisis' The Canadian Press Montreal's ombudswoman described homelessness experienced by Indigenous people in the city as a ``humanitarian crisis'' in a report released Wednesday.

Nadine Mailloux conducted a six-month investigation into the living conditions of homeless Indigenous people in the city's central Milton Park neighbourhood, following complaints by citizens about violence, drug trafficking and prostitution in the area.

Mailloux said the homeless who are living in the district, particularly the Inuit, are suffering ``intolerable human distress.''

Her report denounced a lack of accountability and collaboration between Montreal authorities and outside organizations to improve the situation and offer appropriate services. ``There are no resources in Montreal specifically

dedicated to the Inuit community, despite the fact that it is different from other Indigenous people; they are far from their home communities and families, with a different language and culture,'' Mailloux wrote.

Despite the city's promises to improve its relationship with Indigenous people, Mailloux's investigation revealed what she called ``a flagrant lack of planning'' by the city to address homelessness and housing resources. ``We find it surprising that in December and January, these measures were still in their initial phase,'' her report said. ``Two years into the pandemic, its impact on homeless services was well-known,'' she added. ``Also, winter and its deep freeze come around every year.''

Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante said the report highlights the need for the city to have more money

to address the issue. ``When it comes to homelessness, the city helps to find places. I say we help, but we don't necessarily have the financial means,'' Plante told reporters. ``It remains the Quebec government's responsibility.''

The Milton Park district has become over the years a gathering place for a group of Indigenous people without homes, especially since the relocation in 2018 of the Open Door shelter to the area.

The report, however, noted that the shelter is facing financing and governance issues that have an impact on the quality of its services. The Open Door did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mailloux issued a series of recommendations to the city, including support programs for Inuit who arrive in Montreal and more shelter options for that community.

Indigenous B.C. man, granddaughter settle with BMO over arrest while opening account CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

VANCOUVER — Standing amid the noise of traffic and hustle of pedestrians on the same Vancouver sidewalk where he was arrested and handcuffed in December 2019, Maxwell Johnson said he finally feels at peace.

The Indigenous man and his minor granddaughter were arrested as they tried to open an account for her at the Bank of Montreal in December 2019. Police were called over suspicion they were using a fake status card.

On Thursday, Johnson announced he and his granddaughter had settled their human rights complaint with the bank. The agreement includes an undisclosed a monetary payment from BMO, a private apology, and a pledge from the financial institution to update its policies on how Indigenous status cards are handled.

Holding a grey and white eagle feather that represents healing and blessing, Johnson said his Heiltsuk First Nation culture is about forgiveness. ``We don't hold onto anything. We don't hold any grudges,'' he said. ``I just want people to educate themselves more about First Nations issues and our culture.''

He said he wants people to understand Indigenous culture, and issues faced by First Nations when they deal with the government and corporations. ``We're people too,'' he said during the news conference. ``I don't think it's right that we have to prove who we are by carrying a status card. We're the only race that has the status for proof that we're First Nation people.''

A retired judge who led a disciplinary hearing against the two officers who made the arrest said in a decision released last month that they ``recklessly'' arrested Johnson and the girl.

Brian Neal said Johnson and his granddaughter endured a ``disturbing and profoundly disrespectful series of events'' as they were held and handcuffed on the busy street.

The independent review, which was ordered by the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner, said the two officers who responded to a call from bank employees detained the pair without reasonable grounds.

Johnson and his granddaughter still have a complaint pending against the Vancouver Police Department in the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

When asked for comment on Thursday, Vancouver police Sgt. Steve Addison sent a statement saying the office of the complaint commissioner conducted an extensive investigation related to the matter and it respects the findings of the report.

Johnson is an artist and as part of the settlement with the Bank of Montreal, he gifted the bank an artwork that will be displayed at the downtown branch.

Prints of his work will also be put up at four other branches. ``The copper represents the treasure of our people,'' he said, holding up a copy of the art piece with red and green colours. ``I used BMO colours in it. So, on the top it has the ancestral human face, and on the bottom it has the BMO logo on here.''

BMO spokesman Jeff Roman said the bank is pleased that a settlement was reached. ``This was an important

step for BMO toward reconciliation and we hope that the Johnsons reach the resolution and closure they deserve,'' he said in an email.

Chief Marilyn Slett of the Heiltsuk First Nation on B.C.'s central coast said the bank has undertaken remedies including updating internal policies and procedures for how Indigenous status cards are handled.

``It's really shone a light on the treatment of Indigenous people and it puts attention and focus on that.''

They hope to see systemic changes on policies and how they work in communities, including territorial acknowledgments of where they are, not just in B.C. but across the country, she said.

The police officers who arrested the pair have

been given an invitation to their community of Bella Bella to attend an apology ceremony, Slett said. ``That invitation is still extended,'' she said. ``We've yet to hear from them. Ceremonies happen in our community because they help us in the healing journey. So, it's really important for the Vancouver Police Department to make good on that apology and come to Bella Bella

and do it in person.''

Johnson said he closed his account at the bank. ``Would you work with them if that happened to you?'' he said. ``No, I couldn't do it.

I had to close it to move forward with my life. For healing too. It's part of my healing process to do what we did today.''

Metis Federation denies allegations deals to financially benefit themselves and others.

The council is seeking $15 million in damages.

The statement of defence says the lawsuit is an attempt to advance the political agenda of the council and its current leadership to secure power and influence among Metis in Canada. ``The MNC's scandalous, vexatious and baseless allegations are a transparent attempt by the MNC's newly elected administration to delegitimize and discredit the MMF and President David Chartrand in order to preserve and enhance their own standing and influence,'' says the statement filed in court Thursday. ``The MNC is misusing the overburdened civil justice system as a stage for political theatre. This action is an abuse of the court's process that should not be permitted or condoned,'' it says.

WINNIPEG — The Manitoba Metis Federation and its president are denying allegations of financial irregularities and questionable contracts made in a lawsuit filed by the Metis National Council.

The federation and president David Chartrand, former vice-president of the national council,say in a statement of defence that the claims are without merit and the lawsuit should be dismissed.

The council issued a full review of the organization following a 2021 election in which Cassidy Caron was elected as council president.

A statement of claim, filed in the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario in January, alleges the council's former leadership made

The lawsuit also names Clement Chartier, who was president from 2003 until Caron's election last year. Chartrand served as vice-president under Chartier.

Caron has said that, after she was elected, she became aware of what she called a concerning lack of governance and financial practices and policies.

The council alleges former leaders adopted a ``scorched earth policy'' upon their departure with the goal of creating ``severe financial and reputational damage'' to the national council.

The Metis National Council includes provincial Metis organizations from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and British Columbia. It was formed in 1983 to support recognition and promotion of Metis people as a distinct cultural group with their own governments and needs.

MSL moves to streamline rules for multiple leagues

By TRT Staff with notes from MSL.com NATIONAL — Major Series Lacrosse is very proud to be part of the movement to streamline rules across the country at the highest levels: MSL, along with the Ontario Junior Lacrosse League (OJLL), British Columbia Junior A Lacrosse League (BCJALL), Western Lacrosse Association (WLA) and Alberta’s Rocky Mountain Junior A Lacrosse League (RMLL) have made rule changes driven to align the way the game is played across all five leagues.

The hope is to not only streamline the rules across Canada’s top lacrosse leagues, but to make Canada’s national summer sport quicker, more exciting for the fans, as well as ensuring consistency for players and officials.

Approved rule changes for 2022 season include: 4-second count: When

a team gains possession of the ball in their crease, the player in possession must vacate the crease within four (4) seconds. Previously, a five-second count applied.

8-second count: When a team gains possession in their defensive half of the floor, they must advance the ball across centre within eight (8) seconds of gaining possession. Previously, a 10-second rule applied, and only when a team was short-handed.

Face-offs & restraining lines: In addition to revised face-off procedures, which restrict stick and body contact, specifically, sticks must be eight (8) inches apart and touching the floor. The sticks must be placed so they are parallel to the centreline, four (4) inches from centre, and the players must keep their feet behind the centreline. In addition, the leagues are implementing wider positioning between the two player restraining lines; these

restraining lines will now align with the hockey bluelines, which are 50’ apart and 25’ from the centre line. Previously, opposing players’ sticks would be back-to-back, with the ball clamped in between, and the respective restraining lines were 22’ apart and just 11’ from the centre line.

Over and back: Over and back will now be in effect for all possessions.

Previously, the rule only applied when a team was short-handed.

Too many players: In all situations, if a team is found to have too many players on the floor, a two-minute penalty shall be imposed on the offending team. Previously, a penalty was applied only if the infraction occurred by a team without possession.

Delayed penalties: After a delayed penalty is called, the play is whistled down if/when: the defending team gains possession of the ball;

if the ball goes out of bounds; an over-and-back violation occurs; a goal is scored; the shot clock or game clock expires; or an offensive player commits a penalty. The play shall continue upon a shot on goal if the offensive team regains possession on the rebound, and the shot clock is reset; and if the ball contacts the defensive player’s stick or body but the defensive team does not gain possession and control of the ball. Previously, after a delayed penalty was called, the play was whistled down when the non-offending team took a shot on goal.

Fast restarts: Upon the re-start of play, the non-offending team may gain possession of the ball at the location of the ball at any location on the playing floor. Upon stoppage of play, a player must immediately put the ball down upon loss of possession and allow for a fast restart for the opposing team. As well,

an offending team player must immediately move a minimum of six (6) feet from the ball. If a player does not move 6 feet away from the ball, a 2-minute Delay of Game penalty shall be called on the offending player. Previously, the re-start position had to be at the point of the violation.

Sudden-death OT during regular season: During the Regular Season, if the game is tied at the end of regulation, the first team to score in overtime will win. The WLA will continue with its 3-on-3 overtime format for the 2022 regular season while existing rules and procedures will remain for playoff games and national championships. With the exception of the WLA, previously, overtime consisted of a 10-minute period, followed by a 20-minute sudden death period.

Penalty shot called for additional penalties on a team already 2 men

short: If a team is playing with two players serving penalties in the penalty box, and a third penalty is called, this will result in a penalty shot awarded to the non-offending team. Previously, penalties would continue to be added, and players would be sent to the penalty box.

In addition, the leagues will have increased enforcement on two existing rules covering off-ball slashing and illegal picks.

Off-ball slashes to the opponent’s hands, arms, legs, or any part of the body are not permitted at any location on the playing floor. An illegal offensive pick is when the offensive player uses unequal pressure and creates movement of the defensive player or displaces the defensive player from his position. Illegal picks can also be considered as illegal cross check/back check infractions.

Others can learn from your example at work, as you likely will be the voice of reason among your colleagues.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your ego may take a temporary hit as someone in your sphere gets a promotion or a recognition before you. Don’t take this to heart as it is only time before you get to shine.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Try not to trigger any people in your home who seem to be more tense than usual, Scorpio. It may be tricky, but keep the calm and maintain the status quo for now.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Well-meaning advice can backfire if it is offered unsolicited, Sagittarius. Unless someone comes to you seeking help, it’s best to stay silent for now.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Try to avoid any impulsive spending for the next several days, Capricorn. The temptation will be high, so this will be a bit of a challenge for you.

Stick to the essentials.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, stay calm and keep your nose to the grindstone during a potentially hectic week. This may mean taking a day off or at least a step back.
