Six Nations people face higher rates of chronic illnesses DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Why are Six Nations people facing more chronic illnesses than surrounding communities?

That’s one of the questions a local epidemiologist is hoping to answer when a large-scale community health survey gets underway on Six Nations in 2023.

Sara Smith, a Six Nations epidemiologist, shared some startling statistics with Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council last week that highlighted glaring disparities in health

outcomes for Six Nations people compared to the general Canadian population.

For starters, about 33 per cent of the general Canadian population has two or more chronic health conditions.

For Six Nations people, that number jumps to 54 per cent.

“We have a much higher prevalence of multi-morbidities,” Smith told elected council.

Statistics from 2009 to 2018 showed arthritis was the most prevalent chronic condition among Six Nations people, with 34 per cent of adults experiencing it, followed by high blood

pressure (27 per cent), diabetes (22 per cent), heart disease (seven per cent) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (six per cent) rounding out the top five.

COPD is a any condition that affects the functioning of the lungs such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis.

Thirty-four per cent of Six Nations people have three or more chronic conditions, and 20 per cent have four or more.

What’s more, Six Nations people experience higher rates of infectious disease than surrounding communities, council heard.

That includes infectious diseases from contaminated water and food (such as e.coli, botulism, and cholera, to name a few), as well as sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections.

Smith aims to undertake a community health survey to find out the root causes

behind these statistics to tailor proper programs and services for Six Nations people.

“We have questions that need answers,” said Smith.

What diseases impact the community the most?

What behaviours lead to these health outcomes?

“It’s important we have data on all of those aspects.”

When it comes to cancer on Six Nations, skin cancer was the most common type of cancer diagnosed among community members from 2009 to 2018, followed by the female reproductive system, breast cancer, the digestive system, and the respiratory system.

One particular part of the study to note was that there was an increase in renal (kidney) disease among community members in 2017.

Nobody knows why.

Another jarring statistic

was that older adults are more likely to die by suicide than younger people and suicide rates for those 65 and older on Six Nations have been on the rise since 2012.

Despite suicide being seen as an issue that mostly affects younger people, “Older adults are also at risk for suicide,” said Smith.

Overdoses are also increasing as are rates of mental health disorders and substance use disorders in young people ages 18 to 25, Smith noted.

The most notable health conditions that are on the rise, according to the statistics presented by Smith, were water and food borne illness, sexually transmitted and blood borne infections, vaccine preventable diseases, and COPD. Diabetes rates have remained stable.

The big question was

why is Six Nations experiencing these health outcomes?

Some factors, said Smith, could include things like education levels, housing conditions, etc. and those factors then can affect a person’s health behaviours, such as eating healthfully, and exercising regularly.

“All of those things impact health outcomes,” said Smith. “That sort of information - health behaviours, education, etc will fill in much needed data gaps and that information can only come from community members who answer the questions and participate in the community health survey.”

The survey will hopefully identify the health and wellness needs of the community.

The survey will be launched sometime in 2023.

and Fourth Line.

The student observed a man in a white van acting in a suspicious manner and had asked the student if they needed a ride home. The student did not respond and walked away from the area and reported it to their parents and Six Nations Police.

School officials are reminding parents to talk to their kids about strangers and what to do if they are approached by a stranger.

Teachers are also reviewing safety protocols in class about how to stay safe in the community.

No description of the man has been shared.

Unlocking the secrets of maple syrup, one molecule at a time

By Sebastien Cardinal Nature conceals a phenomenal number of molecules as varied as they are imperceptible. The plant kingdom is particularly chemically complex.

Plant evolution has taken place over hundreds of millions of years, giving plants the ability to respond to various environmental stresses and threats. Several species have developed an arsenal of molecules allowing them to adapt and to protect themselves against competitors and predators. Some of these molecules also have health benefits for the animals that consume them.

Advances in food science over recent decades show that many plants provide a wealth of benefits that, until recently, were largely unknown.

Taken together, these discoveries support more than ever the fact that a varied and balanced diet offers benefits that go beyond simple energy intake. As a result, consumer demand for plant-based foods with higher nutritional value is currently at record highs.

This trend has yet to run out of steam. At the same time, sugary foods are increasingly marginalized and categorized as unhealthy.

But in the realm of sweets, maple syrup is finally claiming its rightful place! Maple syrup is no longer only the jewel of Canada's culinary heritage, its nutritional reputation is also improving. Because of its unique natural source and manufacturing process, maple syrup contains bioactive molecules whose benefits go far beyond the simple

pleasure of a sweet treat.

Benefits that go beyond energy intake In eastern Canada, March and April herald maple sugaring time. Higher temperatures cause maple trees to convert their energy reserves (stored as complex carbohydrates) into soluble sugars that mix with the water in the tree. Producers collect the flavoured sap by drilling holes in the trees.

The sap is approximately 98 per cent water, and it takes about 40 litres of this maple water to generate one litre of syrup. During this concentration process, the levels of sugars and nutrients increase substantially.

The high temperature that comes from boiling the sap causes a series of chemical reactions as the excess water evaporates.

The main components of maple syrup are sucrose and water. Glucose and fructose also contribute to the sweet taste of

the syrup, but to a lesser extent. While these three simple carbohydrates are sources of energy, maple syrup is also an excellent source of manganese and riboflavin (vitamin B2), as well as a significant source of other vitamins and minerals (zinc, potassium, calcium and magnesium).

The composition of phenolic compounds of maple syrup is even more impressive. Since the beginning of the 20th century, researchers have discovered more than 100 of these molecules in plants. Many of them are antioxidants, and contribute to the taste, aroma, colour of maple syrup. They are primarily responsible for its recent superfood status.

One of the most promising phenolic components (in terms of biological activities) is a molecule found nowhere other than in Canada's most famous product.

A molecule worthy of

national pride Quebecol — named after the province where the majority of the world's maple syrup production originates — is a polyphenolic compound (carrying several phenol groups), first isolated in 2011 by a team led by Navindra Seeram at the University of Rhode Island. This compound is so exclusive to maple syrup that it is not even present in raw maple sap! Rather, current knowledge suggests that it is the product of chemical reactions that occur during the transformation of sap into syrup.

Early laboratory studies, quebecol inhibited cell proliferation of breast cancer and colon cancer cells. But only a small quantity of polyphenol could be isolated, and these tests didn't go beyond the preliminary stage. More than 20 litres of maple syrup is needed to isolate less than a milligram of quebecol.

Judging that this syrup would be of better use in kitchens than in laboratories, Normand Voyer, a chemistry professor at Laval University, and I (Sebastien) decided to tackle this supply problem. When I was a PhD candidate in 2013, we published a chemical synthesis pathway to build this natural molecule much more efficiently in the laboratory from simple precursors. As this work made quebecol much more accessible, the investigation of its properties continued and deepened.

In particular, Normand Voyer, Daniel Grenier and their teams, in the faculty of dentistry of Laval University, published two studies demonstrating the molecule's anti-inflammatory properties.

This research also made it possible to determine the active portion of the molecular structure.

Thank you for your advertising support!

A compound still relevant today Our 2021 study showed that quebecol's anti-inflammatory properties may benefit periodontal disease, a severe infection of the gums. We expect additional studies to be published this year, including one showing that quebecol might help with the treatment of a skin condition.

Although the evidence of biological activity of quebecol has been limited to in vitro experiments, these results certainly encourage further study in more complex systems.

It is also important to note that the results came from using the isolated pure molecule.

These studies do not propose using pure maple syrup as a medicinal agent against different conditions. Given the quantity of maple syrup one would have to eat to get the necessary dose of quebecol, the harms from a massive ingestion of sugar would obscure any benefit. It's also difficult to establish the distribution of the molecule in the human body when it's taken orally.

In any case, these discoveries once again highlight the uniqueness of maple syrup and help to strengthen its status as a singular food. Perhaps it contains other equally promising molecules just waiting to be discovered.

Let's bet that this local treasure has not yet revealed all its secrets!

Paw Patrol: Keep your four-legged family members safe around houseplants

JACE KOBLUN

jace@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Houseplants bring a lot into a home. Colour, extra oxygen, life, improved concentration and can even help reduce stress.

Who wouldn’t want a plant or two, or a million, in their house? Maybe ask your dog.

Even though they’re pretty, houseplants were designed to thrive on their own, in their own climate, where there are lots of variables out there to cause them harm; including insects and other small critters. Unfortunately, some species are dangerous for our pets and could prove fatal if ingested.

Here are some plants to not keep within reach of pets. If you have any of these plants in your home (like me), it’s a good idea to keep a pet First-Aid Kit and your vet’s phone number handy.

Aloe vera We’ve mentioned these plants before for their easy-to-grow-ability and

Philodendron contains oxalate crystals that burn the mouths of dogs and cats. All parts of this plants are toxic to cats and dogs.

ASPCA

magical healing gel hidden in its leaves, but aloes have the opposite effect on dogs. While the gel isn’t harmful to pets if ingested, other parts like the plant's sharp spines can harm the digestive system.

Jade There are so many different variations of jade plants such as jade tree, dwarf rubber plant, friendship tree and baby jade. And all of them are not safe to be around pets

and are even mildly poisonous to humans. Upon ingestion, jade causes symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea in humans and are included in the list of extremely poisonous plants for dogs and cats, according to the ASPCA. The ASPCA says if your cat or dog is lured into taking a bite of the last they can develop jade poisoning.

Alocasia More commonly known as an elephant’s ear, ingest-

ing any part of an alocasia can be devastating to a pet. Known to cause oral irritations, pain and swelling of the mouth, lips and tongue, drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing, an alocasia is not a plant I would suggest any pet lover own.

Lilies Bad news for this common Easter flower, the entire lily plant is toxic: the stem, leaves, flowers, pollen, and even the water in a

vase. According to the FDA, if your cat eats just a small amount of a flower or even a flower petal, licking a few pollen grains off its fur while grooming or drinking water from the vase can cause your cat to develop fatal kidney failure in less than three days. They’re not even that pretty. Avoid!

Philodendron These houseplants are fun because they are so easy to grow and propagate

new babies. But don’t get too wild with these plants if you have pets because the more of them you have, the more likely it is for your pets to become curious and start sniffing around where they shouldn’t. Every kind of philodendron contains oxalate crystals. The crystals burn the mouths of dogs and cats and can also cause excess salivation or trouble swallowing.

Sago palm Not all palms are toxic to pets. You can safely own a parlor palm tree and keep it around your pets, but avoid the sago variation.

VCA Canada says all parts of the sago palm are poisonous, but the seeds (nuts) are the most toxic to pets and are easier for pets to eat than the prickly fronds. The sago palm contains several toxic compounds so ingesting even a small amount of the plan can cause serious effects.

PM refuses to say if apology will be part of royal visit

CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says reconciliation will form part of the discussions Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, engage in during their visit to Canada.

But the prime minister avoided answering whether he thinks the Queen should apologize for the legacy of residential schools.

Trudeau is in Newfoundland and Labrador today where he will join Gov. Gen. Mary Simon in welcoming the royal couple to Canada for a three-day visit.

During a morning visit to a St. John's daycare with Newfoundland Premier Andrew Furey, Trudeau

was asked if he feels the monarchy owes Indigenous Peoples an apology for the legacy of residential schools.

Metis National Council President Cassidy Caron intends to make a request for an apology to the Prince and Duchess during a reception at Rideau Hall in Ottawa Wednesday.

Trudeau did not express a viewpoint on the notion of an apology but said the Prince and Duchess will be meeting with Indigenous people on their tour and reconciliation will be part of those conversations. ``Reconciliation has been a fundamental priority for this government ever since we got elected and many, many things that we all have to work on together,'' he said. ``But we know it's not just about government and Indigenous people. It's

Prime Minister justin Trudeau met with a delegation of indigenous people from Newfoundland and Labrador, along with Prince Charles, his wife Camila and the Governor General Mary Simon.

CP

about everyone doing their part and that's certainly a reflection that everyone's going to be having.''

Caron has said residential school survivors have told her an apology from the Queen is important

as she is Canada's head of state and the leader of the Anglican Church.

Earlier this year, Pope Francis apologized for the Catholic Church's role in residential schools when Indigenous leaders and

residential school survivors visited the Vatican.

He will travel to Canada to deliver the apology here this summer.

The royal couple's itinerary in Newfoundland includes a welcome ceremony at the provincial legislature with Trudeau and Simon, and then a visit to Government House, which is the official residence of Lt.-Gov. Judy Foote, the Queen's representative in the province.

There they will take part in a reconciliation prayer with Indigenous leaders at the Heart Garden, which was built to honour Indigenous children who attended the province's residential schools.

Leaders from four of five Indigenous groups in the province will be there.

Johannes Lampe, president of Labrador's Inuit Nunatsiavut government, will be

at a swearing-in ceremony for his newly elected members.

Elders and residential school survivors will also attend the event, which will include a smudging ceremony, musical performances, a land acknowledgment and a moment of silence.

Charles and Camilla will then tour Quidi Vidi, a former fishing community in the east end of St. John's, before heading to Ottawa and, finally, to the Northwest Territories.

England first established a colony in Newfoundland in 1610, and the island remained under British rule until it joined Canada in 1949 along with Labrador and became the province of Newfoundland.

A 2001 constitutional amendment gave the province its current name.

School in Brantford to be named for Six Nations nurse STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

BRANTFORD — Grand Erie District School Board’s Ryerson Heights Elementary School is set to become Edith Monture Elementary School, honouring the Ohsweken-born World War I veteran who was the first Indigenous woman in the country to become a registered nurse, and the first Indigenous woman and registered band member to gain the right to vote in Canada.

“The renaming of Ryerson Heights is an important step on our ongoing journey of reconciliation,” said Susan Gibson, Grand Erie District School Board Chair and member of the Renaming Committee.

“The process was a learning opportunity to help us all critically examine the past, and work towards a better way forward.”

Grand Erie launched

the renaming process for Ryerson Heights last fall and, in accordance with Board policy, included a 60-day period for community input, reaching across the district for ideas. A total of 250 name suggestions were submitted, each accompanied by a rationale.

The Renaming Committee, including staff and community members, shortlisted the public submissions to 11 selections. Students at the school then had a chance to research the shortlisted suggestions, and their work became part of the committee’s deliberations.

Grand Erie plans to have all signage and documentation in place for Edith Monture Elementary School this September.

The school currently serves 800 students with approximately 70 staff members.

Monture was born in Ohsweken on the Six Nations of the Grand River reserve in 1890. She was

the first Indigenous woman to be a registered nurse in Canada. Monture volunteered with the United States Army Nurse Corp during WW1. Because she was a wartime nurse, Monture became first Indigenous woman and registered band member to gain the right to vote in Canada.

Monture was a strong advocate for better Indigenous health care, and worked as a nurse and midwife in Ohsweken until 1955. She died in 1996, just before her 106th birthday.

The school was originally named after Egerton Ryerson, who lived from 1803 to 1882, and was an influential historical figure and educator. His legacy, with respect to the establishment of the residential school system, had a devastating impact on Indigenous peoples across Canada and in the communities Grand Erie serves.

What to do with your bread and cheese You managed to get it home, now what?

TWO ROW TIMES

Bread and Cheese is back and doesn’t really need to be explained to most people who live in the area. Show up, greet some friends and family, play a few games and bring home some delicious lactose- and gluten-filled treats.

But what do families do with their hunks of white bread and Colby cheese handed out by the Six Nations Elected Council when, and if, it makes it home? Do you snack on the cheese block like a cheesy chocolate bar? Cut it up and eat it with some meat and crackers? Or, do you give it all to your friends and family to save on calories — and potential dashes to the washroom?

For a tradition that’s continued on as long as it has, and in such a populated and diverse territory, there are sure to be several different things people actually do with their gifts. Two Row Times asked a few families from Six Nations what they do with theirs.

“My family makes grilled cheese sandwiches and mac and cheese with ours,” said Ash. “We try our best to make it last a few days but it’s not always easy. Some years you get a sizeable chunk of cheese, and others your square can be teeny.”

To some Six Nations band members, when it comes to cheese, size matters.

“I get a little salty if the person in front of me gets a bigger piece of cheese. When I get a small chunk of cheese handed

to me I’m always a little bummed,” said Leena Henry, adding that her brothers don’t like cheese all that much so sometimes they give her theirs.

“I take a few bites when I first get it and try my best to save it for home,” she added.

Henry said her family uses Bread and Cheese Day as an excuse to get the family together for a barbecue and fun.

“My aunt makes really good mac and cheese so I want to make sure I keep some cheese to contribute.

It’s such a good reason for family to gather and just have fun, especially after these last few years with the pandemic getting in the way,” she said.

However you enjoy your bread and cheese, let us know! And don’t forget your lactose pills.

One quarter of Canada’s Indian Residential Schools have grave searches underway NAHNDA GARLOW

nahnda@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

In total, across Canada, 2207 unmarked graves of indigenous children have been discovered outside of Indian Residential Schools since the 1970s.

A total of 479 unmarked graves were discovered from 1974-2019 at five residential schools in Canada.

In 1974, 74 unmarked graves were identified at the Battleford Industrial School in Saskatchewan.

In the early 1990s, 298 graves were discovered at the Sacred Heart Mission School in Fort Providence, Northwest Territories.

During a flood in 1996, the remains of 34 people in their caskets were exposed along the banks of the Highwood River

near the Dunbow Industrial School at High River, Alberta.

A ground penetrating radar search in 2012 identified 38 graves outside the Regina Indian Industrial School in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Researchers from the Muskowekwan First Nation have been looking for unmarked graves at the former Muscoweguan Indian Residential School in Lestock, Saskatchewan since 1992. To date 35 have been identified.

After the remains of 251 unmarked graves outside the Kamloops Indian Residential School made worldwide headlines — other First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities began searching grounds near their schools for the lost children who never returned home to their families.

Including the Kamloops discovery, 1728 children’s remains have been uncovered outside of Indian Residential Schools.

Currently, there are 36 former Indian Residential Schools being searched for unmarked graves. According to the TTC, a total of 139 Indian Residential School sites are scattered across Canada. That means just 25% or one-quarter of the former residential school sites have investigations underway.

According to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission — there are 3213 documented instances of indigenous children who died at residential schools.

One third of the deaths on record did not note the student’s name, one-quarter were not identified by gender and in half the instances the cause of death

was not noted.

The TRC estimates that due to a lack of reporting of indigenous children deaths the estimated number of children who died while attending residential schools is closer to 6000.

This would seem to ring true. Currently the 2207 graves uncovered would account for 68% of the children who died at residential schools. With only a quarter of schools with investigations underway and just 11% of those reporting graves discovered — it is clear that the math, the evidence, and the documented history are not adding up.

A new Interior Department report on the legacy of boarding schools for Native Americans underscores how closely the U.S. government collaborated with churches to Christianize them as part of a project to sever them from their culture, their identities and ultimately their land.

The role of churches forms a secondary part of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative Investigative Report, released Wednesday after a yearlong review sparked by the 2021 discoveries of hundreds of potential graves at former residential schools in Canada.

Most of it focuses on the government's responsibility for its own officials' actions and policies.

But it details how the government provided funding and other support to religious boarding schools for Native children in the 19th and early 20th centuries to an extent that normally would have been prohibited under rules on separation between church and state. Churches had clout with the government as well, it adds, and were able to recommend people for appointments to federal positions on Native affairs.

While this churchstate collaboration is well known to specialists in the field and was the subject of federal reports in past generations, the latest one brings it to a wide audience at a time when many Americans are only beginning to learn about the boarding schools.

The Interior Department report, quoting a 1969 Senate investigation, acknowledges that ``federal policy toward the Indian was based on the desire to dispossess him of his land. Education policy was a function of our land policy.''

A core part of that was training Native Americans in vocations that were less land-intensive — though often ill-suited to available jobs — in addition to breaking down tribal ties.

Christian conversion was also key, the report says, citing an 1886 Commissioner for Indian Affairs document that disparaged

Native spiritual traditions and said the government should provide ``encouragement and cooperation'' to missionaries. ``The government aid furnished enables them to sustain their missions, and renders it possible ... to lead these people, whose paganism has been the chief obstacle to their civilization into the light of Christianity,'' the commissioner wrote at the time.

This week's report also says the government funded the schools with money held in trust for tribes as compensation for land they ceded. A 1908 Supreme Court ruling held that ``the prohibition on the Federal Government to spend funds on religious schools did not apply to Indian treaty funds,'' it notes.

And it says, citing the 1969 Senate investigation, that the U.S. military ``was frequently called in to reinforce the missionaries' orders'' in the 19th century.

The report identifies 408 boarding schools for Indigenous children in 37 states and former territories that were either run or supported by the government between 1819 and 1969. While it doesn't say how many were churchrun, an earlier report by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition found that more than 150 were, about half each by Catholic and Protestant groups.

At a congressional hearing Thursday on a bill that would authorize a truthand-healing commission to investigate the boarding schools, modeled on a similar one in Canada, witness Matthew War Bonnet testified about his childhood experience at the St. Francis Boarding School in South Dakota. Priests who ran the facility sought to alienate him from his parents and culture, and at times subjected him to sadistic abuse. ``The boarding schools were sanctioned by the United States Government,'' said War Bonnet, 76, a Sicangu Lakota from the Rosebud Sioux Reservation. ``The government gave the churches our lands to Christianize us, modernize us and civilize us. But the churches

treated us wrong. ... The government and the churches need to be held accountable.''

The Rev. Bradley Hauff, the Episcopal Church's missioner for Indigenous ministries, who is Lakota and a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said faith groups must confront their history of collaboration on the schools. ``As much as we in the church might not want to acknowledge that, it is the truth, and we have to acknowledge and reckon with it. We did work hand in hand with the government in the assimilation process,'' he said. ``Most if not all the Christian denominations that had a presence in America in the late 19th century operated at least one Indigenous boarding school.''

At its General Convention in July, the Episcopal Church plans to vote on probing its role with the schools and acknowledging its responsibility for causing trauma in generations of Native Americans.

Maka Black Elk, executive director of truth and healing at the Red Cloud Indian School, founded in 1888 by Jesuits in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, agreed that faith groups must reckon with their past. Lakota staffing, language and ritual are central to the modern Red Cloud school, which serves Christians as well as followers of Native spiritual traditions. ``While today we recognize there are many Native people who identify as Christian ... and value that part of their identity, we have to engage deeply with that history,'' he said.

Any evangelism must be ``rooted in people's agency and (be) nonviolent,'' added Black Elk, who is Oglala Lakota. ``That is a big part of our discussion today.

That's a broader question for the greater Catholic church, not just us.''

The Friends Committee on National Legislation, a lobby affiliated with the Quaker movement, which operated multiple boarding schools, said in a statement that this week's Interior report should spur congressional approval of the truth and healing commission.

Inquest to begin in N.B. police shooting of Indigenous woman during wellness check CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

FREDERICTON _ The lawyer for the family of an Indigenous woman fatally shot by police in Edmundston, N.B., during a wellness check two years ago said a coroner's inquest opening Monday offers a chance for her loved ones to get long-awaited answers.

Chantel Moore, a 26-year-old member of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation in British Columbia who had recently moved to New Brunswick to be closer to family, was killed on June 4, 2020.

Lawyer T.J. Burke says the Edmundston police department lacked the tools needed to de-escalate situations without using deadly force. ``In my opinion, the City of Edmundston suffers for the lack of technology,'' he said in an interview last week. The city, he

said, had ``focused more on purchasing carbine weapons than they did on individual officers' useof-force weapons, such as Tasers.''

Investigators with Quebec's police watchdog, the Bureau des enquetes independantes, concluded last year that the shooting occurred after an intoxicated Moore approached the officer with a knife in her hand.

Patrick Wilbur, regional director of New Brunswick's Public Prosecutions Services, said in a report released last June that a former boyfriend of Moore called police at 2:06 a.m. to request the wellness check as a result of his concerns over a series of messages he had received over a period of a few hours.

The former boyfriend, who lives in Quebec, told investigators that at one point it appeared as if the messages were being written by a third party, and he contacted police

out of concern for Moore's safety.

According to Wilbur's review of the investigation report, police arrived at Moore's apartment at 2:32 a.m. and the officer knocked on a window and shone a flashlight on himself to show he was in full police uniform. The

review says Moore came out of the apartment and moved in the direction of the officer holding a knife.

Prosecutors concluded the officer shot at Moore to defend or protect himself and that his actions were reasonable under the circumstances. They ruled out any criminal

charges.

However, during the investigation, the officer said he regretted not giving himself an exit from the confrontation on the balcony outside Moore's third-floor apartment.

Wilbur wrote in his report that officers should always avoid cornering themselves in when responding to a call.

Wilbur said that while the officer had other deterrent measures, such as pepper spray and a baton, the events unfolded quickly.

Burke said he believes police also need to look at other approaches during wellness checks, such as the use of social workers or a mental health worker to help resolve tense situations.

Last June, Burke said Moore's family intended to file a wrongful-death lawsuit against the City of Edmundston and the officer who shot her. He says that lawsuit has now been finalized and will be

filed very soon.

A coroner's jury will be chosen Monday morning, and five days have been set aside for the inquest.

Coroner Michael Johnston and the jury will hear evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the death.

The jury will then have the opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future.

While Burke will attend the inquest, he won't have the opportunity to directly question or cross-examine the witnesses. A lawyer for the family can submit questions, but New Brunswick's legislation only allows for questions to be asked by a Crown prosecutor during a coroner's inquest. ``The legislation is archaic and it needs to change,'' Burke said. ``It essentially silences the victim in these types of matters.''

Milgaard pushed for action on Indigenous sisters' wrongful conviction claims The Canadian Press David Milgaard was actively helping people who claim they have been wrongfully convicted right up until his sudden death, including two Indigenous sisters who have been incarcerated for nearly 30 years.

The victim of one of Canada's most notorious miscarriages of justice, he spent 23 years in prison for a 1969 rape and murder he didn't commit.

Milgaard died over the weekend after a short illness at the age of 69.

Odelia Quewezance, who was convicted of second-degree murder in a 1993 killing she denies taking part in, told The Canadian Press Milgaard was her ``biggest supporter,'' and that he was ``like a brother, an angel'' to her. ``I'm really heartbroken about him, but I honestly believe today that he's still watching over us,'' she said in a phone interview.

She was speaking from Keeseekoose First Nation in Saskatchewan after being approved for a brief visit

home, her first in years, she said.

Her husband first reached out to Milgaard around two years ago about her case, Quewezance said, and they had communicated often ever since.

Milgaard wished her well just a few days before her visit home, she said.

James Lockyer, a Toronto-based lawyer who helped with Milgaard's exoneration in 1997 and helped found the advocacy organization Innocence Canada, was in Keeseekoose to meet with Quewezance on Monday.

Lockyer said he wouldn't be working on the case if it weren't for Milgaard championing Quewezance, who was 20 at the time she was arrested in the killing of 70-year-old farmer Anthony Joseph Dolff, near Kamsack, Sask.

Her sister Nerissa, who was 18 then, was also convicted and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 10 years.

Nerissa is in prison at an institution in British Columbia's Fraser Valley,

where Lockyer said he met her for the first time in person on Sunday.

Odelia said she spoke with Nerissa for the first time in a while on Monday.

It's been about 19 years since the sisters last saw each other in person.

Lockyer said they were present when Dolff was fatally stabbed, but they were not involved in the killing.

Someone who was a youth at the time confessed to the killing at trial, testifying that the sisters were not involved, he said.

Milgaard had urged Lockyer to look at the sisters' case. He decided to take it on after speaking with them and reading transcripts from the trial, he said.

The evidence that the sisters were involved in the killing was dependent on the police officers who arrested them, Lockyer said, explaining that the RCMP claimed they gave a series of statements that weren't recorded and became ``more and more incriminating'' over the course of five days.

A provincial judge had ordered them sent to a nearby jail 24 hours after their arrest, he said, but the pair were held by the Mounties for four more days.

Lockyer described them as ``two young Indigenous women, essentially at the mercy of a whole bunch of RCMP officers for five days with no protection.'' ``It's apparent to me that the statements that they gave that were the later statements, that were incriminating, are entirely unreliable,'' he said.

The sisters are part of the staggering statistic that Indigenous women make up nearly half of women incarcerated at federal prisons when they comprise less than five per cent of Canada's population, Lockyer said. ``Forget for a moment the miscarriage of justice at their trial, they're still (incarcerated), 20 years after they were eligible for parole,'' Lockyer said. ``They need to be able to live the rest of their lives as free persons.''

The only remaining route forward to have the Quewezance sisters' convictions quashed is through ministerial review, said Lockyer, who filed an application with Justice Minister David Lametti on their behalf in December.

The minister has appointed a counsel in Ottawa to review the case on his behalf, Lockyer said. ``We then have to convince her, and the minister himself, that this case is a miscarriage of justice,'' he said.

In a statement mourning Milgaard's death, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples said ``the faith and strength he showed at the worst of times is an inspiring story that continues to drive advocates for those unfairly targeted.''

National Vice-Chief Kim Beaudin said Milgaard's support for Indigenous people ``struggling within the Canadian justice system will not be forgotten.'' ``His work to help the Quewezance sisters has helped bring them closer to finding justice.''

Milgaard was just 16 when he was charged and went on to be wrongfully convicted in the rape and murder of a woman in Saskatoon in 1969.

The Winnipeg-born teenager had been passing through the city on a road trip with two friends at the time nursing aide Gail Miller was raped and killed.

Milgaard had described prison as ``a nightmare.''

He was released in 1992 after his mother, who fought relentlessly to clear his name, pushed to get the case heard by the Supreme Court of Canada. His conviction was thrown out and he was later exonerated by DNA testing in 1997.

A man named Larry Fisher was convicted in 1999 of first-degree murder in Miller's death and sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2015.

The Saskatchewan government issued Milgaard a formal apology and awarded him a $10-million compensation package.

Inukjuak men's association teaching the next generation of hunters The Canadian Press

young boys crowd around to watch.

Within minutes, the patch of skin is a rope more than 30 feet long, consistently the width of a thumbnail. It can be tied in knots before it's dried into a hardened line that's strong enough to haul a bearded seal, which weigh up to 800 pounds, from under the ice.

This used to be the only way Inuit could make rope strong enough for hunting and pulling dogsleds. It was also, Ohaituk says, a good excuse for men to spend time together. ``We really admire our elders,'' said Tommy Palliser, assistant manager of the men's association. ``They tell us stories about how it has been before and you really can't learn that anywhere else.''

These elders — men and women — are passing

INUKJUAK, Que. — Elder Simeonie Ohaituk sits on a caribou skin on the floor of the Unaaq Men's Association in Inukjuak, Que., pulling and cutting a stretchy, cylindrical piece of sealskin.

He makes smooth, even cuts, the length of rope piling up on the ground as he pulls and another elder stretches and turns the sealskin over and over.

It's a two-man job, he says, requiring an even stretch each time.

The skin has been carefully cleaned of fat and fur by another elder using an uluk, a woman's knife with a distinct crescent moon shape.

Ohaituk explains what he's doing in Inuktitut with Charlie Nowkawalk translating his words into English as about a dozen

their skills on to young men in Inukjuak, ensuring they have the knowledge to hunt, fish and live on the land. ``We certainly sleep better, knowing that we are helping to provide some time and space for these young men to grow,'' Palliser said. ``It makes us very proud, and also humble.''

Unaaq was formed after a number of young men died by suicide in the late 1990s and early 2000s. At a community meeting to talk about the social issues, Nowkawalk said, the women of Inukjuak asked the men, ``What are you doing to help?''

It's precisely this kind of work Mary Simon wanted to highlight during her weeklong visit to Nunavik, which ended Friday.
