Off-reserve companies taking water from Six Nations
ers here on Six Nations,” Wilson Water Haulage said in a social media post.
A local water haulage company says off-reserve trucks are affecting its ability to deliver water to Six Nations customers.
Wilson Water Haulage says off-reserve companies are using Six Nations’ water depots to fill their trucks, leaving Wilson with longer wait times and fuel costs as they go off-reserve to retrieve water for waiting customers on the territory.
“We want to take a moment to address something that has come to our attention this week, particularly for our custom-
“As we all know, this summer has been exceptionally hot and dry. The ongoing conditions have placed a heavy strain on both our equipment and our drivers. We are doing everything we can to keep up with demand while also supporting other companies where possible, as clean drinking water remains a vital necessity.”
Wilson Water Haulage said, “Over the past few days, however, we’ve encountered a concerning issue: off-reserve water trucks have been coming onto the territory and using the community water
depots to supply grow operations and irrigate tobacco fields. This is directly affecting our ability - and the ability of other local trucks - to serve our community. The depots are now regularly backed up, with wait times two to three times longer than normal. This drastically limits the number of wells and cisterns we can fill each day for our people.
Wilson Water Haulage said it’s had to go off-reserve to fill up their trucks for Six Nations customers.
“To try to keep up, we’ve had to start bringing water in from off-reserve sources, which adds significant fuel and time costs to our operations. Still, we are doing every-
thing in our power to get to everyone as quickly and efficiently as we can.”
Wilson Water Haulage is a Six Nations company that’s been in business for 20 years.
“We are proudly Six Nations owned and operated, and we remain committed to serving our community. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this challenge, while also doing our best to protect our equipment and prevent burnout among our team.”
Wilson Water Haulage did not return calls for comment by press time.
High-speed Internet for Six Nations by December
Second Line Road and just finishing bits of connectivity on Tuscarora Road.
With a few small pockets of the reserve expected to receive the benefits of high-speed Internet in the next few weeks, the rest of the reserve can expect to be connected to hightech fibre optic Internet by December.
“We expect to fully meet the target by the end of the year,” said Troy Seder, manager of Solo Cable, which has been helping First Nations Cable install fibre optics throughout the reserve as part of a $12 million fibre optic project.
“We’re on schedule,” Seder told Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council.
There is only 40 km of fibre optic cable left to install.
“It sounds like a lot but it really isn’t,” he said.
They’ve basically done the core of the build.
Solo Cable and First Nations Cable, owned by Six Nations man Jeff Thomas, are currently working on
The remaining roads for fibre optic installation are Oneida Road, Hwy. 54 to Painter Road, Indian Line and the top end of Sixth and Seventh Line.
“We started now pulling the fibre,” said Seder.
He and Thomas estimate within next two to three weeks, the first customers of the high-speed system will go online.
Fourth Line will most likely have the first customers online because of all the connections there, said Thomas.
Things are progressing quite well. It was a very tough winter for construction.”
The project lost 10 to 12 weeks of construction this past winter due to the weather.
“We expect to fully meet the target by the end of the year,” said Seder.
A few customers are already up and running on Mohawk Road, said Thomas.
From now until Decem-
ber, it’s just a matter of hooking up new customers weekly.
Thomas said the installation to homes is free thanks to government subsidies.
They’ve been handing out flyers to customers to allow for the installation of the cable from roads to the sides of customer homes.
“We’re right on schedule here, right on budget,” said Thomas. “The government’s happy with what we’ve (done). It’s just a matter of getting through these next couple of months.”
After jumping through hoops to get financing, the partnerships he’s created will help First Nations Cable finally move forward with the fibre installation. By running fibre into every household on Six Nations, community members will finally have highspeed home Internet.
The pandemic saw most of the community working and learning from home during lockdowns which presented challenges for residents with slow
Internet services trying to access live meetings virtually.
“If anything like that ever happens again, we’re prepared for it,” said Thomas.
Six Nations will now be prepared to deliver reliable broadband services to Six Nations.
First Nations Cable has been serving the Six Nations of the Grand River since 1989 and has been licensed by the CRTC since 1992.
First Nations Cable and Six Nations Internet have been pioneers of broadband connectivity in the community.
“Recent times have shown us just how important Internet service is, not just for entertainment but as a crucial part of business and education,” said Thomas. “Over the years, we have continually invested in our infrastructure to improve service for our customers. We make strides in performance and reliability every day.”

Economic reconciliation and closing infrastructure gaps priority for Nepinak
JACE KOBLUN
jace@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak released this statement in July after participating in the Council of the Federation (COF) meeting, which brought together Canada’s premiers to discuss shared priorities, including infrastructure and economic reconciliation.
The AFN is an advocacy organization that works to advance the collective aspirations of First Nations individuals and communities across Canada on matters of national or international nature and concern:
“Attending the COF meeting was an important opportunity to speak to premiers directly about the role of First Nations in decision-making on major projects,” said Nepinak. “Major project development cannot happen without us. Many chiefs are deeply concerned about legislation that has tried to shove First Nations people aside. Collaborative decision-making is essential, and that includes legislation and decision-making on all major projects. A course correction is needed to ensure a constructive nation-to-nation relationship.”
The national chief added, “First Nations stand united against unilateralism and imperialism in all
its forms. Prosperity for all Canadians means responsible, sustainable development for all. Sustainable development requires respecting First Nations rights and including us as full partners in the determination of projects in the national interest.”
“In my remarks to premiers, I was clear that closing the First Nations infrastructure gap must be included as a national priority and as a project of ‘national interest.’ The Assembly of First Nations commissioned a report from the Conference Board of Canada that concludes that making this investment could generate $635 billion in economic benefits and create 330,000 jobs over the next seven
years. These are real opportunities that will support families, strengthen local economies, and drive demand for Canadian steel, lumber, and other materials. Closing the infrastructure gap is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do.”
“I also spoke to the imperative of moving forward on First Nations policing and clean drinking water through co-developed legislation,” concluded Nepinak. “Our safety and security must be protected. We’re calling on all levels of government to move forward with us in the spirit of reconciliation and respect for fundamental rights.”
Mosquito pool tests positive for West Nile virus in Brantford
least once per week.
• Use an approved insect repellent, such as one containing DEET.
Mosquitoes collected earlier last week as part of the surveillance program at the health unit have tested positive for the West Nile virus. The mosquitoes were collected from a residential neighbourhood in Brantford. This is the first lab confirmed evidence of the virus in Brantford and the County of Brant this year.
Mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus to humans after becoming infected by feeding on the blood of birds carrying the virus. Residents can take the following steps to protect themselves and their families from mosquitoes:
• Cover up. Wear light-coloured, longsleeved shirts and pants with tightly woven fabric.
• Avoid being outdoors from early evening to morning when mosquitoes are most active and likely to bite, as well as at any time in shady, wooded areas.
• Reduce mosquito breeding sites around your home by getting rid of all water-filled containers and objects. Change the water in bird baths at
“This is the first confirmed positive mosquito pool for West Nile virus this season. The warm and wet weather conditions this summer have created an ideal environment for mosquito breeding. While no human cases have been reported at this time, this positive pool confirms that the virus is present in our community,” said Filip Pajtondziev, Manager of Infectious Diseases and Sexual Health.
While most people do not become sick after being bitten by an infected mosquito, West Nile virus can cause severe illness in others. Seniors and people with underlying illnesses are urged to be cautious, as they are more likely to develop the illness.
Grand Erie Public Health continues to actively monitor the virus across the region as part of its ongoing surveillance efforts. To report on standing water please call the Grand Erie Health Unit at 519-753-4937, ext. 444. For more information about West Nile virus visit www.bchu.org/westnile or www.hnhu.org/westnile.
Fishing Lake First Nation and Canada reach agricultural benefits settlement agreement
Today, Chief Darcy Desjarlais of Fishing Lake First Nation and the Honourable Rebecca Alty, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, announced a settlement agreement resolving the Nation's Agricultural Benefits claim, also known as a Cows and Plows settlement.
Canada will pay more than $101 million in compensation to the First Nation for failing to fulfill the federal government's Treaty 4 obligations to provide farming tools, crop seeds, and livestock.
Fishing Lake First Nation will invest 100% of the settlement funds into
the newly created Waywaynih Kunawapunteeing Trust to ensure the capital grows for generations to come. By keeping the entire settlement intact, the Nation can leverage loans with interest rates well below the annual returns anticipated on the trust's investments. This strategy will allow us to provide immediate benefits such as per capita distributions without reducing the value of the settlement. This approach creates a longterm source of wealth for Fishing Lake people, enabling investment in community priorities such as language, culture, housing, and economic development, while ensuring that future generations also benefit from this historic agreement. It represents a step toward reclaiming
economic independence and advancing the vision of mino-pimâtisiwin (a good life) that Fishing Lake First Nation's ancestors sought when entering Treaty 4.
Indigenous Services Canada says, "Settling specific claims is an important part of Canada's ongoing efforts to advance reconciliation by rebuilding trust and strengthening its relationships with First Nations. By providing fair compensation in recognition of unkept promises, Canada is taking responsibility and working toward a better future."
This work is guided by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.
The Toronto Caribbean Carnival aligns with Emancipation Day
The Toronto Caribbean Carnival, deeply rooted in Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival, has a rich and complex history. Originally a festival for the White French and French Creole elite, it showcased masks and costumes influenced
by African and Afro-Creole traditions. Enslaved Africans, in parallel, created their own celebrations called cannes brûlées or canboulay, mimicking their masters while incorporating their own customs.
Following the abolition of slavery, freed Africans transformed the festival, integrating their traditions and paving the way for the modern Caribana. This transformation also acknowledges the impact on Indigenous communi-
ties, who, like the Africans, faced displacement and cultural suppression. The festival now stands as a testament to resilience and cultural fusion, embracing the spirit of freedom and self-expression.
The Toronto Caribbe-
an Carnival, a multi-day event from late July to early August, aligns with Emancipation Day (August 1), commemorating the abolition of slavery in the British colonies in 1834.
The grand parade, featuring masquerades parading
through the streets, echoes 19th-century freedom celebrations and honors the diverse heritage of its participants, including the shared experiences and cultural contributions of both African and Indigenous communities.
Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a vibrant fusion of culture. Masqueraders celebrate a rich history with dazzling costumes and rhythms of the islands.

After having a relatively easy time in Game#1, the Chiefs faced a much better opponent in the Owen Sound NorthStars on their concrete home floor and away from the intimidating Six Nations fans at the ILA.

A new day for Knighthawks
JIM WINDLE jim@tworowtimes.com

TWO ROW
Future secured for storied National Lacrosse League city Rochester, NY (August 5, 2025)… One of the most storied cities in National Lacrosse League history is entering a new era. The Seneca Nation, through its wholly-owned business subsidiary Seneca Holdings, LLC, has officially purchased the Rochester Knighthawks, ensuring the franchise’s future in a city where the roots of lacrosse run deep.
“This announcement is rooted in tradition and history and fueled by passion and excitement,” said Seneca Nation President J. Conrad Seneca. “Lacrosse is part of our culture and Rochester is part of our ancestral home. Our ancestors were the first people to share the game of lacrosse with the world. It was gifted to us by the Creator as a spiritual game and a game of healing. The
Seneca Nation is thrilled to celebrate our connection to the Creator’s Game and to this community by keeping the Knighthawks in Rochester, where we look forward to building a bright future rooted in the team’s winning tradition.”
The Seneca Nation is a sovereign Native Nation and the largest nation of the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. The Seneca people have lived on the lands in what is today the western part of New York State for time immemorial, and have made countless contributions to the region’s history, culture, and economy. Today, the Seneca Nation has more than 8,500 enrolled members, most of whom live on several distinct territories in Western New York. Between its government operations and business enterprises, the Seneca Nation provides an economic impact to the Western New York region of nearly $2 billion, making it one of the region’s most significant economic engines and
largest employers.
The Nation provides thousands of direct jobs and supports thousands of others through its partnerships with vendors, suppliers, and contractors throughout New York State.
The Rochester Knighthawks are coming off a third straight trip to the National Lacrosse League Playoffs after winning a franchise-record tying 10 games. Forward Connor Fields made franchise history by becoming the first player in team history to win the NLL’s Most Valuable Player Award. The Knighthawks will open their sixth season in 202526 under new leadership and vision.
The deal keeps the team in the second-longest continuous market in the National Lacrosse League. The NLL is North America’s largest professional lacrosse league and welcomed more than one million fans for the third consecutive year during the 2024-25 season.
Rivermen dispatch Bengals, will face Brooklin
JIM WINDLE jim@tworowtimes.com
TWO ROW TIMES
The Hamilton Bengals and the Six Nations Rivermen were battling for a berth at the Presidents Cup playoffs, held this year here in the East. The bestof-five semi-final series continued Monday, Aug. 4th, at the ILA with a large crowd in attendance as both teams faced elimination. In the end, it was the Rivermen celebrating a 10-8 win.
Knowing how powerful the Bengals can be, the Rivermen had to come out with all guns blazing, which is exactly what they did. David Anderson notched his fourth and fifth of the playoffs to give the Rivermen an early two-goal lead.
Hamilton’s Jaden Patterson cut that lead in half, but Greg Elijah Brown and Thunder Hill responded and it was 4-1 until Alec Tamas scored for Hamilton seconds later. Six Nations netminder Tye Belanger almost got that one, but it had just enough momentum to roll over the line.
The period ended with the Rivermen ahead 5-2 and the momentum they wished to follow them into the next period. Hamilton had other ideas and began to slowly take back what had Six Nation taken.
The Bengals gained a little ground on the scoresheet too, outscoring the Rivermen, 3-2 for a two-period score of 7-5 for Six Nations. Danton Miller and Tye Logan
counted for the Rivermen.
The first five minutes of the final frame, saw some playoff goaltending at either end, until Zack Herreweyers made it 8-5 from Thunder Hill and Rodd Squire. The Bengals did not get to this point by winning a lotto. No, they had the chops to be there and they battled to the end.
Late goals by Jordan Goddard and Herreweyers’ second of the game, protected the first period lead to eliminate a respected opponent.
After loosing Game #1 and Game #2, 10-6 and 9-8 respectively, the Rivermen turned the whole series around by decisively defeating the Bengals 9-5, Friday, August 1st. They squeaked out a 8-7 win in Hamilton, Saturday Aug. 2nd, to even the series at two wins apiece.
Saturday nights game was a heart stopper as the Rivermen drew a line in the sand and told the bengals, no more. But it was not easy. The Rivermen needed to establish themselves after their rocky star to the series, and that they did.
Danton Miller opened the Six Nations scoring, unassisted with his 5th of the playoffs. but Tye Argent quickly responded for Hamilton. The Rivermen scored two more thanks to Mason Hill and Aiden Fearn before Bengals’ Trevor McDonald scored Hamilton’s second of the period. Miller closed the period with his sixth of the payoffs and second of the game, again, unassisted.
The score was 4-2, Rivermen, when the second period began. Both teams added three goals in the middle frame, with Six Nations marksmen Thunder Hill, David Anderson and Miller tallying. It was Miller’s third of the night, to complete 40 minutes of play with the Rivermen holding a narrow 7-6 lead.
Anahalihs Doxtator scored first in the third period to put a two-goal cushion under their narrow lead. They would need it as the Bengals came within one, but could not get that all-important next goal as the game finished with Six Nations winning 8-7. Tyle Belanger secured the win in net.
Friday, Aug. 1st, at the ILA, Tye Belanger and the Rivermen fought hard for the eventual 9-5 win.
The Rivermen were ready to go as Greg Elijah Brown, Booker Muir, Ananhalihs Doxtator, and Thunder Hill took a 5-1, first period lead. There was more to come in the second as Thunder struck for the second time with David Anderson, Ty Logan and Jordan Goddard adding to the Six Nations lead to end the second period 9-2, for the Rivermen.
Although Hamilton roared back with three unanswered goals in the third, it was not enough as the Rivermen held the line for the 9-5 win.
In the other semi-finals, the Brooklin Merchants eliminated the Owen Sound NorthStars and will face the Rivermen for the Championship and a ticket to the Presidents Cup.
