SIX NATIONS — Police made a major arrest on July 14 that brought in over $1.5 million in drugs, guns, currency and jewellery.

Six Nations Police Service say the million dollar seizure is the result of a 9 month investigation labelled "Project Reunion" into illicit drugs being trafficked on Six Nations of the Grand River Territory and surrounding areas.

That project saw 15 search warrants executed in various locations surrounding Six Nations.

As a result, police seized 6 kilograms of methamphetamine, 4 kilograms of cocaine, half a kilogram of fentanyl, a large quantity of hydromorphone, oxycodone & alprazolam, 18 firearms and ammunition, approximately $86,000 Canadian currency and $200,000 in jewellery.

Police have arrested and charged Justin Wayne Allen Aumell, 31-years-old of Brantford, Ontario with the

Company can withhold payments to Six Nations if protests occur DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

An electricity project owner warns that it will withhold payments from Six Nations if anyone stops construction on the project after agreements are signed to move forward.

“There are consequences of not following through on the support conditions captured in… the community benefit agreement,” said Matt Jamieson, president of the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation, which has led negotiations on the Lake Erie Connector Project.

Despite that, Six Nations Elected Council decided last week to move forward with the equity ownership of the project, consisting of a 110-km long power cable between Canada and the United States.

Six Nations, as one of the First Nations in the project’s Nanfan Treaty Area, was offered two

benefit deals to choose from as a participant in the project: join as a 10 percent equity partner in the project, with a potential economic benefit of $45 million to $90 million; or sign on for royalty payments, with a potential economic benefit between $30 and $40 million.

The cable will be dug in a two-meter trench underneath Lake Erie, connecting Pennsylvania and Ontario at the site of the former Nanticoke Generating Station. The land is currently being used as a cornfield.

Six Nations will also get about $118,000 a year as part of a community benefit agreement.

Project profits that come to Six Nations will funnel through the SNGRDC and its trust board will decide annually how to disperse those funds to community projects.

The $118,000 annual community benefit agreement funds will funnel through elected council.

In order to be a partner, Six Nations has to borrow $26 million from project

owner ITC Holdings.

The money will be paid back throughout the lifetime of the project, says Jamieson.

“From a risk perspective, it’s the best model that we could use to mitigate any risks we might have.”

The loan is a non-recourse loan, meaning the company can’t come after any of Six Nations’ assets if it defaults on the loan payments.

“The only thing that we’re pledging is the ownership units in the asset,” he said. “If the project fell apart and we couldn’t pay, ITC can’t come after us.”

ITC touts the project as a money-saver and an environmentally-friendly project that creates clean energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Currently, Ontario doesn’t have adequate infrastructure to get rid of excess energy, leading it to be wasted. The project would see Canada and the United States alternately share power through the underwater, bi-lateral cable whenever either

country has generated an excess of energy, earning Ontario profits from selling the power to the States and reducing electricity costs for Ontario ratepayers.

Jamieson said Six Nations’ legal team has reviewed all the proposals and agreements and has indicated it’s satisfied with that Six Nations’ interests are protected.

Only 49 people participated during the community engagement sessions.

Jamieson said because of that, the decision on which offer to move forward with should rest with elected council.

Six Nations has been in talks with ITC Holdings since the company first approached elected council in 2013.

Site preparation is expected to take place in 2023, with an estimated four-year construction period.

SNGRDC said when the project is decommissioned, the land will go back to its original state.

TORONTO — Indigenous students who formerly attended Indian Day Schools in Canada and qualify for the Indian Day School Class Action Settlement can now apply for a special consideration extension to file their claim.

On July 14, one day after the settlement deadline, class counsel announced that anyone in need of a special consideration extension can submit an Extension Request Form until January 12, 2023.

“Even with the existing supports available, we acknowledge that some Class Members may find the claims process challenging (notably, concerning estate claims) and may be unable to submit a claim prior to the deadline. In anticipation of such events, the Settlement Agreement provides for a six-month extension period to file claims until January 13, 2023.” says Cam Cameron, Class Counsel lead for the

MONTREAL — Ottawa is giving $1.1 billion over five years to First Nations communities in Quebec to help fund education.

A signing ceremony for the agreement was held today on the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake, south of Montreal.

The agreement is the result of 10 years of negotiations between Ottawa and the First Nations Education Council.

The money will go

toward building culturally adapted education programs for about 5,800 children across 22 communities.

It will also fund school transportation and the recruitment and training of more than 600 teachers and other school staff.

The First Nations Education Council, which represents eight Quebec First Nations, says the agreement will allow communities to assume full responsibility over their schools.

Six Nations by-election DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

The by-election to fill the seat vacated by former councillor Wendy Johnson is set for Sept. 3.

Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council announced the date at Monday’s General Finance meeting, with a nomination date set for Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the band office.

The by-election is being held after the sudden and unexpected departure of Johnson, who is taking an a new job opportunity she said she couldn’t pass.

Some confusion arose when Coun. Helen Miller said elected council

was not supposed to be involved in the by-election by setting dates, saying only the Chief Polling Officer should be setting the dates for nominations and elections.

“We have to be completely at arm’s length with any election. All we do is let the electoral officer know we need to do a by-election and we set a budget. We have to be impartial.”

A vague election code and CPO handbook that don’t expand on by-elections were to blame, said Tammy Martin, chief of staff.

“Council does have the responsibility to set the dates because council is also required to provide the CPO with the voters’

list and in order to get the voters’ list it does require the dates to be confirmed through a BCR (band council resolution),” said Martin. “There’s also some time requirements. There isn’t a lot of discussion on by-elections (in the election code and CPO handbook). It mostly speaks to the general elections so that’s kind of a void so there is some discretion in there in whether or not council wants to have an advance poll, given that it’s to fill one seat.

The community has been made aware that there is a vacancy. I think those work quite efficiently.”

Council moved to accept those dates.

New Indigenous-led health centre to be opened in Hamilton DONNA DURIC

donna@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

Hamilton celebrated on Friday as various community organizations announced a future state of the art multi-purpose Indigenous well-being centre in the city’s east end that will provide much-needed primary care to underserved populations.

The much-anticipated Biindigen Health Centre will be built at the site of the now-shuttered St. Helen’s elementary school in the lower city’s McQuesten neighbourhood, where about six per cent of the population identifies as Indigenous.

Biindigen means “come in” or “welcome” in the Ojibwe language.

“This is what we want to tell or do,” said Pat Mandy, chair of the Biindigen Well-Being Centre Steering Committee and member of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

The City of Hamilton purchased the land from the school board to house the new centre, going public with the land acquisition on June 22. The land will be transferred to the partners of the Biindigen Well-Being Centre, which include De Dwa Da Des Nyeh>s Health Centre, Niawasa Kendaaswin Teg, and Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services.

It will serve as a central hub of health and social services, not just for the city’s Indigenous population, but the rest of the population, as well.

Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger came out for the kick-off ceremony, saying, “This centre will enable a once-in-a-lifetime experience and will be seen as the epitome of what reconciliation means to the City of Hamilton and the Canadian people as a whole.”

In addition to the city of Hamilton, the centre is supported by other partners, including McMaster University’s Department of Family Medicine, the McQuesten

Community Planning Team and the Hamilton Community Foundation.

The centre will be located on Britannia Ave. just off Main St. Near the Red Hill Valley in what’s been referred to as an underserved neighbourhood when it comes to health care.

The well-being centre will provide primary health care services, in addition to various cultural and social programming services, including child care, skills development, training programs, after-school programs and neighbourhood programs, says Monique Lavallee, executive director of Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg. “To address the on-going harms of colonization, it will be a centre that reflects and values Indigenous cultures and ways of knowing, connects with the land, and cultivates a strong sense of community,” said Lavallee.

“Biindigen could be a model for other communities to follow. Working together and alongside each other is one of our teachings.”

'Heartbeat of Mother Earth': Calgary Stampede hosts powwow at Saddledome CANADIAN PRESS

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

CALGARY — Men sit around large drums along the edges of the arena.

Each group takes a turn drumming and singing.

The drum, described as the heartbeat of Mother Earth, provides rhythm for dancers in traditional regalia as they compete in Indigenous dances, including the men's chicken, the men's and women's fancy and the women's jingle.

Stampede-goers gather in seats normally filled by those watching concerts or sports games. ``This is the first powwow that we're hosting here at the Saddledome,'' Cheryl Crowchief, co-ordinator of the Calgary Stampede Powwow, said in an interview this week.

The Scotiabank Saddledome, named for its saddle-shaped roof, is home to the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, the Calgary

Hitmen in the Western Hockey League and the Calgary Roughnecks with the National Lacrosse League.

Crowchief said there is a powwow competition at Elbow River Camp, a village on the Stampede grounds that highlights local First Nations' cultures. ``But this year we brought it to the Saddledome and are hoping that the success we had at the village comes over here.''

Crowchief said the larger venue allows more people to see some of the world's best powwow dancers and drummers. ``This is top, top, top people everywhere,'' she said. ``We have people participating in the powwow from the United States, from all over Canada. It has gone worldwide.''

The powwow started Tuesday and ends Thursday, as 20 dancers remaining in each category compete for a place in the top 10 and a cash prize. A total of $175,000 in prizes

are to be handed out.

Some dancers said it's exciting to be back at a powwow after two years of COVID-19 public health measures. Some also expressed nervousness to be competing in such a large event.

Charles Woods, a senior men's traditional dancer from Siksika Nation, east of Calgary, said he's happy to be dancing again. ``It's a feeling that nobody can explain,'' he said. ``The drum beats and the songs that are sung are very, very good healing songs. It's an uplift. The drum is the heartbeat of Mother Earth. When we dance, we dance to those songs.''

Some competitors said being in the large arena, while much cooler than outside in the heat, is also a bit stressful. ``It's pretty nerve-racking,'' said Teagan Rabbit Carrier, also from Siksika Nation, who was competing in the junior contemporary jingle dance. ``I am nervous, but I am here for

Her regalia included a shimmering yellow dress and a colourful beaded headband. ``My Aunty Dawn ... made this outfit for me.

I wanted a yellow dress so she made it sparkly,'' she said. ``I have a green ribbon at the back of my dress to represent my late brother, Kristian Ayoungman, and my Aunty Gaylene.''

Raylene Hunter, a senior women's traditional dancer from Onion Lake Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, said her family competes across Canada and the United States and travels internationally to teach people about Indigenous culture.

She said it is her first time at the Stampede powwow. ``It's a little bit stressful ... but it's really exciting.''

Hunter, who lives in Edmonton, said powwows

are an important part of her culture but also play a role in her parenting style. ``My children learn that there's a way to conduct yourself when you are wearing these feathers, when you are wearing your regalia — to look after it,'' she said. ``Those values that come with teaching your kids on how to respect themselves, how to respect what they are wearing and also just to respect themselves as women — to be mindful of what type of your environment and what kind of setting you are in. ``So, you are teaching them patience ... you are teaching them discipline.

There are all kinds of values that come with teaching your kids on how to be the best person that you can possibly be — in or out of your outfit.''

Hunter said powwow regalia also provides strength. ``My husband always

says, 'When I put on my outfit, I feel like I'm my true warrior self,''' she said. ``That's the same for women as well. When we put on our outfit, we are warrior women. We are protectors of our children, of our families, of our home fires.''

Crowchief said powwows are an important part of Indigenous heritage. ``It's our way here in traditional Treaty 7 area to show people our culture, to share our culture and to educate,'' she said. ``A powwow for us is a celebration, it's not a ceremony. ``It's a way for us to get together and celebrate life, celebrate the changing of the seasons, celebrate our kids. It's a family gathering to invite non-Indigenous people to join us and celebrate with us.''

OPINION

TWO ROW TIMES

July 20th, 2022

editor@tworowtimes.com NASA revealed new images last week of the deepest, furthest and oldest seen places in the known universe as seen by the James Webb telescope — and possibly the coolest space oddity ever seen — the Carina Nebula.

The image is an infrared view of a star-forming region that looks more like orange mountains surrounded by red clouds against a blue starlit sky. It is absolutely breathtaking.

It is a place in space where stars are born — all of the stars in this image are stars just being born.

As Haudenosaunee, we carry stories that we come

from the stars. Our ancestors dwelled in Skyworld and when Skywoman fell to the earth, life began.

Looking at these new images from the James Webb telescope through Haudenosaunee eyes so much of our worldview gets brought back into focus. Is this where we came from all those grandmothers ago?

Is this where our souls will travel to once they begin their return home?

It’s such a beautiful example of how the worlds of science and faith at some point intersect and support each other. We believe that we come from the stars because we have

faith in the stories of our ancestors, our ceremonies and our traditions. We also respect, acknowledge and accept the discoveries and advancements in science, math, physics and technology that have brought humanity to a place where we can have jaw dropping images to support that in which we believe. Faith is the substance of things hoped for.

Nikita Gil wrote, “We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.”

goal: to solve the so-called ``Indian problem'' by undercutting and delegitimizing Indigenous ways of life to better facilitate settler capitalism and Canadian nation-building.

The day school system lasted until 2000 with the Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist and, later, United churches overseeing daily operations of the schools in various parts of the country.

Like at Indian Residential Schools, news stories have also reported deaths, experiments and abuse at day schools that have had lasting impacts.

The reckoning For more than a decade, day school Survivors have been fighting for truth and justice. Since the settlement was reached in 2019, both of the original settlements' founders Garry Mclean and Raymond Mason, have passed away.

The Mclean Day School Settlement Corporation was established with a $200 million legacy fund that emerged from

the settlement with the federal government and is intended to support ``language & culture, healing & wellness, commemoration and truth telling.'' The settlement process has had mixed results so far.

Journalist Ka'nhehsi:io Deer found that Survivors have been revictimized by the process and that 85 per cent of the claims that were settled occurred at Level 1 (the lowest amount available, $10,000).

While over 150,000 survivors submitted an application, others repeatedly asked for more time to tell their stories.

The recent federal budget saw the government earmark $25 million between 2023 and 2025 for Library and Archives of Canada to ``support the digitization of millions of documents relating to the federal Indian Day School System, which will ensure survivors and all Canadians have meaningful access to them.''

This funding is import-

ant, but it will come too late to help Survivors with the class action.

Digitization efforts are important because they can generate more awareness and education about the day school system.

This is significant because, unlike the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), there will be no national inquiry or final report.

Murray Sinclair, chair of the TRC, often says that education got us into this mess so education must get us out.

As part of this process then, people must learn more about the history and legacies of residential schools and day schools (and public schools too) and understand their relationship to Canada's colonial project.

We encourage readers to check out www.indiandayschools.org to find the Indian Day School closest to them and read more about this history.

Canada's reckoning with colonialism and education must include Indian Day Schools

By Sean Carleton and Jackson Pind Sparked by the locating of hundreds of possible unmarked graves at former Indian Residential Schools across the country, there has been a public reckoning with the ongoing legacies of the residential school system.

Many Canadians are finally coming to terms with the truth that the Canadian government, in co-operation with Christian churches, ran a genocidal school system intended to ``kill the Indian in the child'' for more than a century.

What most people don't realize, however, is that Canada's system of ``Indian education'' was not limited to residential schools. It also included a vast network of nearly 700 federally funded and church-run Indian Day Schools, which were attended by an estimated 200,000 Indigenous people between 1870 and 2000.

Despite making up a large part of Canada's system of Indian education, day schools were excluded from the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. A different class action for day schools closes on July 13, 2022, and so far over 150,000 people have been included.

In recognition of the brave Survivors who have been fighting for justice and sharing their stories, we argue that Canada's reckoning with colonialism and education must also include Indian Day Schools. If Canada is serious about putting truth before reconciliation, then the history and ongoing legacies of all kinds of colonial schooling need to be acknowledged and addressed.

The history Day school and residential school systems need to be understood as interrelated and overlapping parts of Canada's assimilationist education project.

In the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s, Christian missionaries started schools for Indigenous people — most without financial support from government — in an effort to gain converts and control.

By the 1870s, the federal government had officially partnered with churches and offered to pay more for schooling as a way of gaining greater influence and authority over Indigenous Peoples.

The new system of Indian education, overseen by the Department of Indian Affairs, had two distinct prongs: day schools, which were often located on reserves where children could return home at the end of the day, and boarding or ``residential'' schools, where children resided at schools far away from their communities _ sometimes children attended both, at different times, during their school years.

The two kinds of schools shared the same

Maintaining houseplants doesn’t have to be hard work. But when you’ve got multiple plants that seem to have different watering schedules, lighting needs and soil requirements it can get overwhelming. Here are five apps designed to give you the confidence and help you need to best nurture your plants.

He said Indigenous Peoples have constitutional rights just like Quebecers do, adding that the provincial government is acting like a colonial power.

Martin said the federal government must ``stand and support us'' by addressing the issue of Indigenous rights _ including language rights _ guaranteed in the Constitution. ``When a language tends to dominate, it is a colonial practice and that means the extermination of other languages ??and cultures,'' Martin said. ``This is what we are up against.''

Earlier, representatives from the federal government and the First Nations Education Council signed the $1.1-billion education agreement, the result of 10 years of negotiations.

The money will go

toward building culturally adapted education programs for about 5,800 children across 22 communities. It will also fund school transportation and the recruitment and training of more than 600 teachers and other school staff. The First Nations Education Council, which represents eight Quebec First Nations, says the agreement will allow communities to assume full responsibility over their schools.

Daniel Gros-Louis, executive director of the First Nations Education Council, said ``history has shown us the many broken promises of governments. The assumption of responsibility for education by and for the First Nations that we are celebrating today is our promise to ourselves, to our young people.''

Ottawa says it will support First Nations fight against Quebec's new language law

MONTREAL — The federal minister of Indigenous services said Thursday she supports the will of Indigenous communities to be exempt from Quebec's new language law, which limits the use of English in the public service and increases French-language requirements in schools.

Patty Hajdu told a news conference she was ``preoccupied'' to hear that Indigenous leaders think the language law, known as Bill 96, will have a negative impact on the rights of First Nations children to be educated in the language and culture of their choice. ``We cannot put barriers in the way of children striving to reach their full potential, including barriers that involve language,'' Hajdu

said. ``We will continue to stand by and defend the leaders with whom I have the opportunity to work. I see it as an important part of my role as minister.''

Hajdu made the comments after participating in a signing ceremony for a new agreement under which Ottawa will give $1.1 billion over five years to First Nations communities in Quebec to help fund education. The ceremony was held on the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake, south of Montreal.

Quebec's new language reform proactively invokes the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian Constitution to shield it from Charter challenges. It restricts the use of English in the public service and the legal system, and it requires students at English junior colleges to take three additional courses in French to graduate.

Canada will join the fight against a new law in Quebec.

Indigenous communities say they are particularly worried about the new rules for junior colleges.

John Martin, chief of Gesgapegiag on Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula, said Thursday that provincial language laws have been

ILLEGAL DUMPING INTRODUCTION Respectful of the Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen and Kaswentha, we individually and collectively must heed our traditional teachings and respect for the Natural World to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our children and future generations, with an aim to meet or exceed standards in other jurisdictions, for contemporary circumstances. These standards are established on scientific grounds to protect the following:

• Human health • Agricultural farm lands • Natural environment • Drinking water • Country foods • Fish & wildlife “Six Nations is a community with a strong and respectful relationship with Mother Earth. We protect Her to provide for us and future generations. We limit our impact and enhance the natural systems around us.”

– Vision Statement, Six Nations Community Plan, 2019.

THE ISSUE Illegal dumping has been a community concern for many decades. A Waste Management Bylaw, #1-93, was enacted in 1993 to address illegal dumping across the community.

Enhanced community protocols are needed to deter illegal transport and dumping of bulk excess soil and waste material.

Laboratory analytical reports need to be thoroughly reviewed by Qualified Persons (QP) to ensure that imported excess soil and materials are: not hazardous or detrimental to human health, the natural environment; buried infrastructure; nor subject to provincial orders that restrict re-use. In other instances, excess soil, waste water effluent, septic sludge, construction debris, etc. are being moved from on-reserve manufacturing sites and dumped in residential, wetland, and source water protection areas.

On any given day, convoys of dump trucks can be seen transporting and dumping excess soil and other unknown materials on the Six Nations territory.

Note: Different grades of clean soil are needed for a variety of landscaping, grading, drainage and septic purposes. This interim protocol is not applicable for these legitimate purposes.

Enhanced community awareness, collaboration and cooperation, as well as the establishment of an environmental monitoring and community reporting program will be key to achieving the Community’s Mother Earth vision.

INTERIM PILOT VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE PROTOCOL In response to numerous community concerns, Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council is seeking the cooperation of all residents to voluntarily follow these steps pertaining to excess soil: IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT PLANNING TO:

1) Import excess soil that has been excavated from off-reserve sources (e.g. housing projects) 2) Move or transport excess soil, manufactured waste or debris from one property to another property on-reserve WE ASK THAT 30 DAYS PRIOR, YOU:

i. Contact the Six Nations Environment Office to arrange for the sharing of documentation (e.g. Laboratory Certificate of Analysis) proving the excess soil: Has been tested for contaminants, (including, but not necessarily limited to PAHs, VOC, pesticides, hydrocarbons, metals – including mercury, salts, etc.), within 6 months of export and a Qualified Person (QP – with errors and omissions liability insurance), has verified that the material is free from hazardous waste, contaminants and invasive species (see Ontario Schedule XV.1 for provincial residential standards); and Was not moved to secondary locations prior to being considered for import to Six Nations of the Grand River;

SIX NATIONS — The Grand River ‘Champion of Champions’ Pow Wow returns this year after a two-year pandemic hiatus — with some important notable changes for visitors who may be wishing to come to the event.

This year, the pow wow has moved to the Ohsweken Speedway, located on Chiefswood Road in the heart of Six Nations.

The new venue opens a greater space for the event which has grown from its humble roots along the Grand River in the 1980s to one of the largest outdoor events in the entire province of Ontario.

In April 2020, due to the COVID pandemic the powwow committee announced they were cancelling the event.

And we thank you for your continued support. Nya weh! (thank you) to those

out on the frontlines that are busy keeping all of us safe — doctors, nurses, first responders, store clerks and workers, trucks drivers and all others.

Please help them to help us — stay home!”

The committee initially hoped to bring the powwow back for the 2021 season but pandemic restrictions across much of Turtle Island saw Grand River, along with most of the powwows in North America, put on hold for both 2020 and 2021.

The Grand River ‘Champion of Champions’ Pow Wow will be held July 23-24 at the Ohsweken Speedway, 1987 Chiefswood Road on Six Nations. Admission is $10 per day or $15 for a weekend pass and $2 for children. Gates open at 10:00 a.m.. Dogs and pets are not permitted to attend however dogs for the blind may attend.

Pow Wow dance styles explained STAFF REPORT

editor@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW TIMES

SIX NATIONS — Today’s competitive pow wow dance styles are a blend of many nations, traditions and styles. If you’re visiting a pow wow for the first time this summer and want to know a bit more about each style, here is some background information on some of the categories you will see competing at the Grand River ‘Champion of Champions’ Pow Wow. In general each style gets two songs to showcase their dancing ability;

first a basic straight song, and a special second song.

This is done to highlight the dancing ability of each dancer and is an important part of the drumming contest.

Men’s Traditional First and foremost – dancers in this category are aiming to tell you a story. Typically it is one of a hunt, a battle, or a certain victory. Dancers utilize different movements to demonstrate the story they are telling you; crouching, tracking, aiming, dashing about and so on. Many dancers are taught to dance toward the centre of the circle and tap once on the

pole or shout out during this style. This is done to represent victory over an enemy or victory in the hunt they are telling you about. One stellar Men’s Traditional second song is called the Duck and Dive.

Some say this style of dance came about during the First World War. Dancers listen very carefully for slow hard drumbeats bend downward in time as if to dodge artillery fire.

Women’s Traditional It looks easy enough, but when wearing regalia upwards of 40 lbs, the deep knee bends of a Women’s Traditional Dancer require a lot of leg strength, good balance and breath control. Scrubbing is a stationary dance style. Dancers bounce in place along in time with the drum turning ever so slightly.

Some say scrubbing is the original women’s style of pow wow dance. When scrubbing the dancers are trying to keep those fringe tips snapping just right.

Walking style is when the dancers travel around the circle in deep knee bends, taking small steps forward. Dancers who use the walking style want to look smooth, controlled and elegant as their fringe sways in time to the drum.

They sometimes recognize the strong beats of the drum, called honour beats, by either leaning forward or lifting their fan

in the air – depending on what nation they come from.

Men’s Grass Grass dancing was birthed from young men of the plains nations stomping down tall prairie grasses to prepare the site of a new village or site for ceremonies. Today’s Grass Dancers try to dance as smooth as possible as if they are those long prairie grasses blowing in the wind. For that kind of controlled movement, these Grass Dancers must be fit and strong. This sometimes results in some fantastic movements leaving you wondering, “How did he do that?!”

This style is known as one of the medicine dances. The fluid sway-

ing motions represent a sense of balance with the natural order of creation.

Grass Dancers are taught that the motions they do on one foot, they must do with the other foot. It is that intentional act of balanced footwork that makes the Grass Dance so spectacular to watch.

Women’s Jingle This healing dance comes from the Anishinabek people of Whitefish Bay where a young girl was gravely ill. One of the men received a dream where he saw the dresses, songs and dances that needed to be done for her. Women in the community made the dresses, drummers learned the song and some women were shown the steps

to carry out what was given in the dream. As the dancers went around this young girl she started to recover and by the end of the night she was healed and up dancing with the women.

Today there are two kinds of competitive Jingle Dances; contemporary and old style. Contemporary dancers use complex but gentle footwork making the dance look effortless. They wear soft eagle plumes in their hair and raise eagle tail fans during honour beats to ‘lift up’ the prayers of the people. Old style jingle dancers don’t wear eagle feathers or sparkly materials to pay respect to the

original intention of the dance. They are taught to always keep one foot touching the ground to show our connection to the earth and lift their hands during honour beats to raise the prayers of the people.

Men’s Fancy Feather This is the kind of pow wow dancing that spectators love. It is fast and furious. Dancers must be in top physical condition to execute the tricky footwork and acrobatic movements that make this style so exciting to watch. It’s not uncommon to see Fancy Feather dancers do cartwheels, backflips and splits in competitive dancing. Key to being a champion Men’s Fancy dancer is keeping on beat while making fringe and feather bustles shaking and swaying all the while twirling hand held spinners.

This dance is one of the more recent additions to pow-wow traditions. It is believed to have originated from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Shows where young men would dance hard and fast to impress the crowds. Fancy Dancers are usually called on to perform Sneak-Up or Trick Songs. These extremely fast songs ruffle the drum beat while dancers twirl about, followed by fast sections with sudden stops. It is always exciting to see the

dancers interpret what the drum is doing and to see them all stay in time with the beat and stop on time. You definitely don’t want to miss this category!

Women’s Fancy Shawl There are two stories behind the Fancy Shawl Dance. One story says that the dance represents a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. While that is a poetically beautiful legend, most dancers agree that the Fancy Shawl dance grew from the Men’s Fancy style. Women in the 1950’s wanted to mimic the quick and complex footwork of the men, and thus a more feminine version was born utilizing a shawl instead of feather bustles.

Like Jingle, there are Contemporary and Old Style Fancy Shawl dancers. Contemporary shawl dancers are spinning, kicking, twirling, leaping and traveling as fast and as furious as the men’s fancy dancers, but light on their feet. The goal is to look as if you are floating about the dance arena and barely ever touch the ground. Old style dancers are still quick on their feet, but there is usually less spinning involved.

The focus is to marry intricate footwork with smooth shawling to make for a seamless performance.

Pow Wow etiquette and terminology

GOOD LUCK TO ALL PARTICIPANTS OF THE 2022 GRAND RIVER

"Champion of Champions” POWWOW

If you are headed to Six Nations for the Grand River ‘Champion of Champions’ Pow Wow this weekend (and you should) then you will hear the weekend’s Emcees use some key terms that as a visitor you may not understand. Here is a handy little terminology guide to help give you insight into what’s happening.

Drum Tent – This area is only for registered drummers, the judges, emcee’s, elders and other pow wow officials.

The Dance Arena – also referred to as “the circle”.

This area is considered blessed and sacred once Grand Entry and Invocation prayers are completed. Only competing dancers enter the circle with the exception of Intertribals or other special dances where people from all nations are invited out to dance together.

Emcee’s Area – Emcee-ing a pow-wow is a very special job as the

person elected has to have full knowledge of powwow protocols, knowledge of the ceremonies and traditions, dance or drumming experience and be entertaining at the same time. The Emcee will announce the contests coming up, explain protocol to visitors, and typically keep everybody laughing throughout the weekend.

Elders seating area – Special seating for the elderly and disabled. Please keep pathways around this area clear for elders and disabled visitors to walk safely through.

The Eagle Staff – Usually a large cane shaped staff owned by the pow-wow committee/ community that has eagle feathers tied to it. The feathers typically represent a person who has passed on that meant a great deal to the community – a national “flag” of the host community so to speak.

The Pole – After Grand Entry, the Eagle Staff is tied to the centre pole for the duration of the contest. It is “retired” or brought off the pole when the contests have finished and is re-posted at the end of every Grand Entry for the duration of the powwow.

The Bleachers – Get a great view from all angles in the comfy bleachers. If you brought a lawn chair of your own there is a space for that as well.

Food Vendors – Check out the various pow-wow treats from Indian Tacos to fruit salad. It’s all tasty, so don’t be afraid to try a little bit of everything.

Indigenous Arts and Craft Vendors – All vendors at the Grand River Champion of Champions Pow Wow are confirmed to be actual indigenous people selling authentic wares. Make sure you tour about and pick up some authentic Indigenous made artwork.

VICTORIA — The British Columbia government has confirmed that the village of Queen Charlotte on Haida Gwaii will be renamed back to its former ancestral name.

The village council submitted a proposal to go back to the name Daajing Giids, pronounced DAW'-jing-GEEDS', after nearly half the residents approved the change, prompting a unanimous vote from councillors.

Municipal Affairs Minister Nathan Cullen says

in a release that names of places hold significance and he commends the council for working with the Haida Nation to bring forward an important act of reconciliation.

Village Mayor Kris Olsen says the name change has been a gift and an opportunity to make things right and show respect to the Haida Nation.

He says council has embraced its responsibility and come through on the right side of a historic moment.

Olsen has said Daajing Giids means common hat village, or a working Haida hat.

First Nations in northern Ontario facing COVID surge CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

A public health official says First Nations in northern Ontario are in a ``very dire situation'' as they deal with a surge in COVID-19 cases and an ongoing shortage of health-care workers.

Dr. Lloyd Douglas with the Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority says rising cases in remote

First Nation communities in the north are putting an ``additional burden'' on health-care services that were already strained before the pandemic.

In Sandy Lake First Nation, more than one seventh of the population — or 613 people out of roughly 3,500 people — had COVID-19 as of Monday.

The chief of the First Nation says her community currently has about

half of the 12 nurses it's supposed to.

Chief Delores Kakegamic says the staff shortage has meant nurses have recently been limited to tending to health emergencies.

Douglas says all levels of government must work together to put plans and policies in place to maintain the resources necessary to provide adequate health care to First Nation communities.

It says most of the 11 numbered treaties the Crown signed with Indigenous leaders are set to turn 150 by 2027.

By way of the treaties, the Canadian government gained access to vast swaths of land for settlement from the Northwest Territories and northern British Columbia through the Prairies and most of Ontario.

In exchange, Indigenous

Peoples were provided parcels of reserve land and promised payments and other rights that many First Nations leaders and communities say have never been fully honoured.

Government officials in the Crown-Indigenous Relations Department, which is responsible for settling land claims, say commemorations are an important way to advance reconciliation.

Pat John, an actor on the long-running Canadian television show ``The Beachcombers,'' has died at the age of 69.

John, a member of the sishalt First Nation, was one of the first Indigenous actors to play a contemporary character on Canadian TV and started in his late teens.

He played the role of Jesse Jim, a young business partner with the show's main character, Nick Adonidas, played by Bruno Gerussi.

They were log salvagers in the series that became a national hit and gained an international audience over its 18-year run, which ended in 1990.

Co-star Jackson Davies, who played an RCMP constable, says John suffered health problems in recent years and died Wednes-

day.

Davies says John had a natural acting ability and his role as an Indigenous character in a modern setting, instead of a historical one, made a mark on Canadian culture. ``I don't think we ever thought, 'Oh, we are making a statement here,' or maybe I was just too naive,'' Davies said Thursday. ``It was a show about this kid who happened to be Indigenous and he ends up getting a partnership with this Greek immigrant guy ... and being a log

salvager.''

Other Indigenous actors later joined the show, which never tried to hide the fact it was Canadian.

It was shot on location in Gibsons, B.C., where the fictional Molly's Reach restaurant was later turned into a real restaurant and tourist attraction.

John had a warm smile and a calm demeanour, Davies said. The two were in close contact in recent years. ``We'd talk obviously about the show. But we'd also talk about life, where he was in his life, where I was in my life, our struggles, things like that. And he was a great listener and he had a great laugh.''

John's acting career pretty much ended after the ``Beachcombers'' run, save for a reunion series in 2002.

There was no immediate word on the cause of his death.

Federal government to provide more than $35 million for supports during papal visit CANADIAN PRESS

TWO ROW TIMES

OTTAWA — The federal government says it will provide more than $35 million during the papal visit to Canada to support Indigenous communities, organizations and residential schools survivors.

Pope Francis is set to travel to Alberta, Quebec and Nunavut from July 24 to 29. The papal visit is to include public and private events with an emphasis on Indigenous participation.

The Pope is expected to deliver an apology for the Roman Catholic Church's role in residential schools during the trip, building on sentiments expressed earlier this year during an Indigenous delegation to the Vatican.

Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations are putting up $30.5 million of the

funds for community-led activities, ceremonies and travel for survivors.

Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller has previously said the federal government would support survivors who want to attend and planning was taking place to avoid a ``logistical nightmare.''

Ottawa said another $3 million will support Indigenous groups in the three regions where Pope Francis will spend time.

The papal visit is scheduled to start in Edmonton before Francis joins survivors at the Ermineskin Indian Residential School in the community of Maskwacis south of the city.

Other events in Alberta include attending a local Indigenous church and a large mass at Commonwealth Stadium, home of the Edmonton Elks CFL football team.

The Pope is set to travel to Quebec City mid-week where there will also be a

large mass the public can attend. He is to end the journey in Iqaluit where he will meet with residential school survivors and attend a public community event.

The federal government has also committed $2 million to interpret the events and comments from Pope Francis into Indigenous languages.

It's expected Francis will deliver an apology for the Roman Catholic Church's role in residential schools.

An estimated 150,000 Indigenous children were forced to attend residential schools over a century, and the Roman Catholic Church ran about 60 per cent of the institutions.

The Indian Residential Schools Resolution Health Support Program has a hotline to help residential school survivors and their relatives suffering trauma invoked by the recall of past abuse. The number is 1-866-925-4419.

For you to better understand our legal undertaking, we have included in our website a letter sent to the United Kingdom Parliament to make a formal request (demand) to finalize the imposed requirements by the United Kingdom Parliament in 1982 within our Canadian Constitution that was not fulfilled by the Canadian Governments since then.

This opportunity has given the chance to help fix the wrongs of the past and present by having the United Kingdom fulfill their responsibility to the peoples of Canada by inserting in section 9 of the Constitution of Canada that the power in Canada is to be equally shared as equal partners by the Canadian Citizens and Indigenous Peoples as well as both possessing executive power over our governments with final decision-making authority.

We understand that it is up to Canadians to straighten out our government, and by taking a stand in Ottawa and across Canada our message to the United Kingdom, and international courts will be loud, and clear. BTW, we have been speaking with lawyers in the United Kingdom and have legal representation here in Canada to get things done.

As Canadian citizens, it is our responsibility to educate our people to learn about and to respect the treaties, the land issues and to unite since our government has done everything in its power to keep us from joining together so that we can all have a safer, sounder future for both our children.

Greetings to all: Traditional Chiefs, Clan Mothers, Band Council Chiefs, Councils, and members of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities, Food for thought: In our view, the best way to formalize reconciliation, collective selfdetermination, and decolonization is to legally include the Indigenous peoples of Canada as equal partners, shareholders, co-owners and final decision-makers with Canadians on each side of the TWO ROW WAMPUM TREATY of our country in our constitution. Igniting the conversation and enforcing its legislation is the first step to success.

So, the question is once you have reviewed our information, will you join us in unity on Parliament Hill as an equal partner in Canada to protect our country and our children's future?

We are just in the first stages of planning the event, any input and participation ideas you may have would be greatly welcomed. If you have any questions, please contact me at either number below or email. By the way, an invitation has also been sent to AFN without any response.

Respectfully and warmest regards,

We believe we can achieve this on Parliament Hill July 30th, 2022.

Although this seems like short notice, we were not certain that Parliament would allow us to utilize the Hill, but we did receive our confirmation for the weekend of July 30th to August 01, 2022.

Please accept this email as a formal invitation to all Indigenous nations and Indigenous Peoples of Canada to participate in a unity celebration, and as an official stand to save our country, and its peoples in a historical unified self-determination and decolonization action by Canadians and the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, by having both peoples legally recognized as equal partners in our

How to celebrate National Wine and Cheese Day JACE KOBLUN

Bread and butter. Johnny Cash and June Carter. Ham and scone. Some things are just better in pairs.

Wine and cheese make the same list and what better way to celebrate one of the world’s best pairings than familiarizing yourself with how to observe National Wine and Cheese Day on July 25.

National Day Calendar is an online source for the fun and quirky days we celebrate around the world. According to them, National Wine and Cheese Day has been observed since 2014 and encourages us to try wine and cheeses in combinations you may have never tried before.

“Step away from our ordinary bottle and learn something new,” states the site. “Sampling the complexities in sweetness and acidity and comparing them at a tasting makes for an enjoyable experience. When we add friends to the adventure, the day becomes a celebration, too. Find a favourite wine and sample it with some of your favourite cheeses. Post photos of your favourite pairings on social media.”

For a lot of people, nothing pairs better than

“A lot of wine-producing cultures pair regional wines with local cheeses and so this is an art that is recognized in many parts around the world,” states daysoftheyear.com. “Take the French Brie region

as a prime example. This area is noted for its varieties of tannic wines. Beaujolais is produced in the area and it is often served with local Brie. This is just one example of many.”

According to daysoftheyear.com, not only does National Wine and Cheese

Day give you the chance to celebrate this tradition, but it also lets you expand your knowledge in terms of pairing different types of wine and cheese. There are so many different types of wine and cheese.

This means that there is always something new to learn when it comes to the art of pairing the two together.

“And, of course, while there are some general guidelines to follow in terms of determining what sort of cheese is going to go well with the wine you’re serving, you can also learn a lot by simply trying out different combinations,” said the

site.

One of the best ways to celebrate Wine and Cheese Day is by hosting a wine and cheese tasting of your very own. Get together with your friends and plan out the evening with all the variety of cheese you can imagine.

"Bring your Port Wines and your blushes, your champagnes and your reds and whites, and for each of them bring a parade of cheeses to be sampled,” said the site.

Here are some suggestions to help you best pair wine and cheese together: - When in doubt, a firm and nutty cheese won’t let you down.

- Cheeses and wines that come from the same place pair well together.

- Sparkling wines work well with creamy, soft cheeses.

- Sweeter wines and funky cheeses go together well. Sweeter wines like Late Harvest dessert wines and Moscato go well with the blue-veined cheeses.

- Aged cheeses and bold red wines go well together. Look for cheeses that have aged for at least a year when serving a bold red wine.

- Pair cheeses and wines that equal intensity.

Humans have been making wine and cheese for thousands of years. It’s no surprise people love it considering we’ve had so long to perfect the art. But what kinds of wines and cheese would make a good pairing with some of our harder to find, yet still delicious meats like bison, venison, or moose?

National Wine and Cheese Day falls on July 25 this year and is a great opportunity to try out some unique pairings you might normally skip over at the store.

Bison meat (often used interchangeably with buffalo) is known to be leaner and less dense than beef and thewineladies.com say bison is widely accepted as one of the tastiest and most nutritious natural alternatives to traditional meats.

“When it comes to wine pairing, because bison has considerably less fat than beef, wines with less tannin will make for a better match,” said the site. “Tannins come from the skins, stems and seeds of the grapes. As well as from the

oak barrels the wine may have been aged in. That dry sensation you feel in your mouth when drinking a red wine is due to the tannin in the wine. The more tannin in the wine, the more you will pucker up and feel the sensation.”

As bison is a high protein, lower fat alternative, a good choice would be a red wine with soft tannins such as a Pinot Noir, Malbec, a softer Syrah, or a Tuscan Sangiovese.

If you’re making bison burgers and need a cheese, thebisonlife.com suggests;

American, blue cheese, cheddar, pepper jack, Swiss, provolone, feta, or brie.

Moose is rich, gamey and lean and surprisingly does not like astringent tannins despite its strong, earthy flavours. According to blacktailnyc.com, moose pairs well with a red wine that has a medium to full body and a lot of fruit and berries.

“It pairs well with red Burgundy, while the sweet side is better with a sweet Riesling. A California Pinot Noir or a red Rhone or Australian Shiraz would be

Cheddar-style cheeses pair well with moose. A bold cheddar tends to be more crumbly and crystallized in appearance from having been aged for more than six months. Cheddar works well with meats that have earthy flavour profiles.

Presenting sponsor for the 2022 Ontario Summer Indigenous Games announced International Experience Canada steps up to the plate, for the first major sport event hosted by Indigenous Sport & Wellness Ontario (ISWO), since the COVID-19 global pandemic.

By TRT Staff with notes from osig.iswo.ca MISSISSAUGA — On July 18, the 2022 Ontario Summer Indigenous Games (OSIG) organizing committee announced that International Experience Canada (IEC) will be supporting the OSIG as the Presenting Sponsor for the provincial sport event.

With IEC’s support, the 2022 OSIG will bring hundreds of Indigenous youths together from across Ontario to participate in sport, connect with their peers and celebrate community. This major sponsorship reflects IEC’s commitment to helping youth develop lifelong skills and explore new opportunities and life pathways.

“We are pleased to be part of the celebrations for the Ontario Summer Indigenous Games after all the challenges and delays posed by the pandemic,” said the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. “IEC provides Canadian youth with an unparalleled opportunity to work and travel abroad in one of Canada’s partner countries, while being immersed in unique cultural experiences. Youth from our partner countries can do the same here in

Canada. These experiences are valuable opportunities for personal growth and community development, which align well with the objectives of the Ontario Summer Indigenous Games.”

A program of the Government of Canada, International Experience Canada (IEC) manages youth mobility arrangements that allow Canadian citizens, aged 18-35, to obtain a work permit to work and travel in more than 30 partner countries and foreign territories for up to two years, depending on country-specific requirements. As a reciprocal

program, youth citizens from partner countries can do the same in Canada.

“We are so pleased that IEC has chosen to support the Ontario Summer Indigenous Games in such a meaningful way.” said Marc Laliberte, President of Indigenous Sport & Wellness Ontario. “After an exceptionally difficult couple of years for everyone, especially youth, this essential funding means youth from across Ontario will be able to finally meet, compete and play the sports they love. The 2022 OSIG will be a celebration of sport, wellness, and culture, while creating

SUBMITTED

opportunities for personal growth and community development.”

Indigenous Sport & Wellness Ontario (ISWO) is the official Provincial/ Territorial Aboriginal Sport Body (P/TASB) for Ontario and has a history of successfully delivering significant sporting and cultural events. After a challenging two-and-a-half years of pandemic restrictions and limitations on in-person programming, ISWO is ready to host a Games that gets kids back out onto the fields and courts, playing sports and being physically active, all while making connections

with the potential to open a multitude of doors for them in the future.

IEC has been a longterm partner of ISWO, having been a major supporter and partner for the 2018 Masters Indigenous Games. As part of their 2022 OSIG support, IEC will be present in the Athletes Village sharing information about work and travel opportunities for Canadian youth. Working and traveling abroad is a great adventure that allows youth the opportunity to experience different cultures, meet people, and see the world from a different perspective.

IEC and ISWO have a shared understanding of the importance of developing life-long connections and creating new experiences for youth, where they can discover their strengths, learn new skills, find inspiration and consider new pathways as they journey forward.

About the Ontario Summer Indigenous Games Hosted and developed

by ISWO, the Ontario Summer Indigenous Games provides Indigenous youth, ages 13 to 18 years of age, the opportunity to compete against their peers in a number of sport categories. The OSIG are an important step in the sport development pathway for Indigenous youth, giving Indigenous athletes the opportunity to compete at a provincial level, while mastering their sport specific skills.

The Games also serve as an identifier for athletes who aspire to compete at the North American Indigenous games, with the next edition scheduled to take place in 2023. ISWO will be hosting tryouts for all 14 NAIG sports throughout the year and into 2023, across the province of Ontario. A full schedule of tryouts, along with additional information, will be released in near future.

NLL 2022 Expansion Draft update

By TRT Staff with notes from NLL.com The NLL has released the list of protected rosters ahead of the Las Vegas Desert Dogs expansion draft set for July 7. Each franchise had until June 23, at 12pm ET to submit their protected roster.

Each franchise was eligible to protect five (5) offensive + five (5) defensive + one (1) goalie OR four (4) offensive + seven (7) defensive + one (1) goalie. If a team chooses not to protect a goalie, teams shall protect five (5) offensive + six (6) defensive OR four (4) offensive + eight (8) defensive players.

There is a special exemption for the Panther City Lacrosse Club as a firstyear team that missed the playoffs. They are permitted to protect 13 players, including a maximum of 6 forwards and one goalie.

Shawn Williams as Head Coach/GM for the Desert Dogs will be eligible to select one player from each of the other 14 franchises of the remaining players who were not protected.

No team will lose more than one player.

Fans may wonder why

specific players were left unprotected. If a player is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent (UFA), Las Vegas may select the player but would either have to come to an agreement with that player prior to August 1 or use their franchise tag to secure the player to their roster. Players who turn 34
