Seeing Red recruits Seneca designer
Seeing Red is introducing Karlene Familo to the 2026 Runway of Rezilience designer lineup.
On social media this week Seeing Red announced, "Karlene Familo is an emerging Seneca fashion designer from the Allegany Territory. She made her runway debut at the Seneca Niagara Indigenous Fashion Show in November 2024. She has since showcased her collections at fashion events in New York City and Canada, with one of her designs now featured in an exhibition at the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo."
The “Evolution” Collection embodies her self-expression and the artistic growth of her
design career. This collection seamlessly combines contemporary Iroquois beadwork designs while showcasing elements such as oceanic shells, red stone, and traditional quillwork reflecting the historical trade networks of Haudenosaunee People.
This September, witness Karlene Familo on the runway.

The giving spirit of Six Nations people was on full display the past two weeks as the community came together to help the displaced First Nations devastated by the wildfires that ravaged Northern Ontario this month.
Thousands of dollars have been raised and hundreds of items have been donated thanks to the efforts of local community members spearheaded by Lindsay Monture.
“It all started when the smoke started coming down over here,” said Monture. "There’s a lot of people int the community that felt a sense of urgency to do something.”
The smoke blanketed huge swaths of North America this past month from forest fires in Northwestern Ontario, with 117 active wildfires still currently burning in the province.
Of those fires, 23 are not under control.
A few First Nations have been completely devastated by the fires, resulting in the evacuation of members from Cat Lake First Nation, Eabametoong First Nation and Neskatanga First Nation.
Many of the evacuees have been staying in hotels in Barrie, Toronto and Fort Erie, far removed from their home and culture.
“I’m a mother of little girls and for me it’s terrifying to see and what it all means for the rest of us,” said Monture. “I just had a lot of anxiety around that and felt like I needed to channel that into something actionable.”
So she put up a post on Facebook asking if anyone to help the evacuees somehow.
The response was overwhelming, she said.
Three fundraisers have been held in the community in the past two weeks with both monetary and physical donations dropped off at the Mohawk Longhouse and Six Nations
Dozens of volunteers came on board to help sort through items and ferry items out to evacuees across three different cities.
“It was a lot of coordinating,” said Monture.
Local businessman Glenn Styres donated a truck and one of his drivers to deliver items to Toronto and Fort Erie evacuee locations.
One of the most recent efforts was bringing evacuees to this past weekend’s Six Nations of the Grand River Champion of Champions Powwow.
Volunteers got a coach bus to bring the evacuees to the powwow with free admission and a chance to experience some home cooking, with a delicious wild game meal at the community hall on Saturday.
“It just happened kind of
quickly. Six Nations Parks and Rec waived the fee for the community hall. It was easier to work at the community hall. Having home-cooked meals was a huge request of theirs.”
They were treated to elk and moose meat, dishes they could not get in the cities where they are staying.
Evacuees were able to walk through donation tables to pick up what they needed.
They also got a chance to experience the largest powwow they ever attended this past weekend, said Monture.
“They went and enjoyed the powwow.”
Volunteers and community members were also able to send evacuees back to their hotels with gift cards and cash for whatever they needed, said Monture.
Gotten gift cards and cash, were able to send them back with more leftover food and able to take
cash and gift cards.
Monture said she empathized with how traumatizing it must be to be relocated from a rural community and experience the culture shock of the big city.
“I was really glad they were able to come to our community. It was really fulfilling to see the community mobilize so quickly. I’m just so grateful for our community.”
She said the evacuees were really grateful.
“They just kept thanking us for our generosity and making them feel welcome in the community. They just kept thanking us and giving us hugs. I hope they felt welcomed and grounded.”
If anyone wants to help with the continuing fundraising and support efforts for the evacuees, all information can be found in the Facebook group Six Nations Wildfire and Evacuee Support.

Six Nations Powwow settles into Ohsweken Speedway
way grounds, now in its fourth year at its new location.
The Six Nations of the Grand River Champion of Champions Powwow has settled into its new space at the Ohsweken Speed-
The powwow went off without a hitch as hundreds of dancers and drum groups from across North America competed for tens of thousands of dollars in prize money in
one of the largest competition powwows in North America.
Typically held during the hottest time of the year during the last weekend of July, this year’s powwow saw much more pleasant weather than in years past.
Thousands of visitors were treated to the visually stunning displays of intricate regalia from various dance styles, including the grass dance, fancy shawl, jingle dress, men’s fancy, men’s and women’s traditional, smoke dance and a few intertribal dances.
Emcees Dennis Bowen and John “Meeg” Snake Jr. kept the crowd entertained over the weekend while instructing guests on proper powwow etiquette during the Grand Entry, a vibrant ceremony that introduces dancers and welcomes visitors to the powwow every year.
The Grand Entry was led by head veteran Jeffrey Plain, a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, carrying the Eagle Staff, accompanied by host drum Southern Cree paying flag songs and veteran songs.
As is custom for the Grand Entry, attendees had to remove headwear and remain standing for the procession during the opening sacred songs.
The head veteran was followed by elders, the Six Nations Veterans Association and the hundreds of dancers who followed them into the grassy dance arena.
Top prizes went to the drum groups, at $12,000 for first place, down to $4,000 for fifth place.
Top dancers took home $1,000 each.
It was the fourth year the powwow was held at Ohsweken Speedway, having been held for decades at its original location at Chiefswood Park, before the super popular powwow outgrew that space
and evolved after two years without a powwow during the pandemic years in 2020 and 2021.
Dozens of artisan booths stretched as far as the eye could see and of course, guests enjoyed traditional strawberry juice and Navajo tacos, among other festival-type fare.
Miss Six Nations 20252026 Kymberly Farmer expressed pride in her fellow ambassadors representing the community so well during the powwow.
Southern Cree drum group, which hails from Montana, said the community treated them well and they thanked the community for choosing them to be the Host Drum.
This was the 44th annual Champion of Champions Powwow.

Mandate without meaning: UNDRIP, the RCMP, and the right not to
be beaten on one's own land
On July 27, 2026, a video circulated showing an RCMP officer repeatedly punching Indigenous woman Rose Georgina Angus during an arrest on Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation. The Saskatchewan RCMP stated that Angus had assaulted two officers and resisted arrest, deeming the force used "reasonable" after an internal review. Angus was charged with assaulting police, resisting arrest, obstructing a peace officer, and possession of cocaine. This incident, like many involving police use of force, will be legally determined by the courts. However, it has reignited public discussion about the relationship between Indigenous peoples and state authority.
This event is not isolated but part of a longer institutional history, including interventions at Six Nations of the Grand River (1922, 1924), the 1959 RCMP raid on the Ohsweken Council House, the 1990 Oka Crisis, the 1995 Gustafsen Lake standoff, the 2006 Caledonia reclamation, ongoing land disputes in Brantford and the Haldimand Tract, and the surveillance of Mohawk activists. A key distinction in the present era is Canada's formal commitment to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
In the December 16, 2021 mandate letters issued to every federal minister, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau directed:
"Consequently, I am directing every Minister
to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and to work in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to advance their rights."
That instruction was not limited to the Minister of Public Safety or the RCMP. It was directed to every federal minister and, by extension, every department and agency under ministerial responsibility. Policing, corrections, taxation, justice, education, health care, natural resources, housing, social services, economic development, and every other area where the federal government exercises authority over Indigenous peoples now operates within that declared commitment.
Canada reinforced this commitment through the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (2021). This Act does not automatically invalidate existing laws but obligates the federal government, in consultation with Indigenous peoples, to align federal laws with UNDRIP principles and implement an action plan. True implementation is measured by institutional decisions, not just symbolic declarations.
Article 26 and the land question
Article 26 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) affirms the right of Indigenous peoples to the lands and resources they have traditionally owned or acquired. It also grants them the right to own, use, develop, and control these resources, and mandates states to provide legal recognition and protection with respect for Indigenous
customs and land tenure systems.
Beyond Article 26, UNDRIP includes other crucial provisions:
Article 7: Protects the right to life, liberty, physical and mental integrity, and security of the person.
Article 18: Affirms Indigenous peoples' right to participate in decision-making through their chosen institutions.
Article 19: Requires free, prior, and informed consent from governments before adopting measures affecting Indigenous peoples.
Article 27: Calls for fair and transparent processes to recognize Indigenous rights related to lands and resources.
Article 32: Requires consultation and cooperation before approving projects affecting Indigenous lands and resources.
Article 37: Recognizes treaties and other constructive arrangements.
Article 40: Guarantees access to fair procedures and effective remedies for disputes involving Indigenous rights.
Collectively, these articles form a comprehensive framework for how governments should interact with Indigenous peoples and lands.
Continuity of practice
The North-West Mounted Police, established in 1873 to extend Canadian authority, became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1920. However, the relationship between police power and Indigenous governance at Six Nations of the Grand River predates the RCMP.
For generations, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was an allied political entity with the British
Crown. Mohawk warriors played vital roles in the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, helping preserve Britain's North American colonies. In return, the Crown issued assurances, including Governor Haldimand's 1779 pledge and the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation, granting lands along the Grand River for the "use and enjoyment" of the Mohawk and other Six Nations.
After Confederation in 1867, responsibility for "Indians and lands reserved for the Indians" shifted to the Dominion government. The alliance evolved into administration, with policies emphasizing assimilation and centralized management under the Department of Indian Affairs. By the early 1920s, officials viewed the traditional Confederacy Council as incompatible with Canada's administrative model.
A common misconception is that the 1924 Order in Council dissolved the Haudenosaunee Confederacy government. It merely altered Canada's administrative recognition. On October 7, 1924, an Indian Agent and RCMP officers entered the Council House at Ohsweken, announced Canada would only recognize the elected band council under the Indian Act, and seized wampum and records. The Confederacy persisted, but Canada enforced its administrative choice through state authority.
This pattern recurred in 1959 when RCMP officers removed hereditary chiefs' supporters from the Council House, re-establishing control for the Canadian-recognized elected system.
Similar institutional dynamics appeared elsewhere:
1990 Oka Crisis: Police enforcement of injunctions escalated into a 78-day confrontation involving the Sûreté du Québec, RCMP, and Canadian Armed Forces.
1995 Gustafsen Lake: Internal RCMP recordings revealed a media officer stating, "smear campaigns are our specialty," a phrase that has since been associated with police communications during Indigenous conflicts.
2006 Caledonia: The Douglas Creek Estates dispute highlighted unresolved title issues. Ontario purchased the disputed lands while simultaneously enforcing court orders, demonstrating parallel political negotiation and legal enforcement.
These tensions continue in Brantford and the Haldimand Tract, where municipalities, developers, Indigenous communities, and governments frequently litigate over contested lands. Developers have alleged municipal failures to disclose Indigenous claims, while Indigenous rights holders often face injunctions as constitutional questions remain unresolved. The pattern suggests that development often proceeds before underlying title and jurisdiction questions are settled, leading to decades of litigation.
When governments fail to resolve disputes, police inherit them
Police officers do not create constitutional disputes over Indigenous lands, negotiate treaties, settle historical claims, determine
Aboriginal title, or establish public policy. Instead, they are often placed at the juncture where unresolved political issues become immediate operational problems. When governments approve developments before disputes are resolved, police enforce injunctions. When negotiations fail, officers maintain public order. When competing understandings of lawful authority clash, police become the visible agents of decisions made elsewhere.
This reality does not absolve police of accountability. Public confidence requires officers to exercise restraint, professionalism, and proportionality. However, it also highlights a broader institutional problem: if governments consistently postpone resolving underlying land questions while authorizing development, confrontations become predictable. Many such encounters are symptoms of unresolved governance, not isolated policing failures. The municipal level: where implementation succeeds or fails Municipal elections are approaching in many Ontario communities on or near the Haldimand Tract. Municipal governments approve subdivisions, issue planning approvals, negotiate infrastructure, administer zoning, enforce by-laws, and coordinate with provincial authorities. They are often the first governmental institutions involved in land disputes.
While municipalities often categorize Indigenous issues as federal respon-

day and about 90% of the comments were negative. The jersey looks like it was thrown into chatgpt and created after just one logo creation attempt. In hotter Buffalo Bills news, their new stadium is now open for fans to tour for a low cost, the stadium features a 20 foot replica of a broken table which is iconic to bills fans culture of fans pregaming while jumping off the top of cars and rv’s to crash through tables during lot pregame parties. The new bills stadium is
said to hold an outstanding 60,108 seats and hold up to 63,000 fans seated or standing. The stadium cost an estimated $2.1 billion dollars to build, which is located just across the street from the old Highmark Bills Stadium, which is in the process of being tore down as we speak. The Buffalo Bills 2026/2027 regular season schedule has also been released and looks like this:

In NBA basketball news, Lebron James has chosen to play for the Philadelphia 76ers for the next two seasons! Lebron will now join 3 others Allstars in Philly to form another super team. The 76ers starting lineup is now Lebron James, Allstar Tyrese Maxey, Allstar Jaylen Brown, Allstar Joel Embiid & up-and-coming guard VJ Edgecombe. Lebron James’ playmaking capabilities will be front and centre in Philadelphia as the 76ers plan to start Lebron at the point guard position. Lebron will be featured as the primary ball facilitator with 4 talented scoring options and also creating a formidable two man game with Lebron and former MVP centre Joel Embiid. Lebron also notified the team that he will be residing close to New York City and will commute by
helicopter to practice and games for the 2026 season, something that didn’t work out very well in the past in regard to Kobe Bryant. In MLB Baseball news, the MLB Trade Deadline on August 3rd is quickly approaching. Thus far in major trades, Boston Reds traded away Starting Pitcher Connelly Early in exchange for up and coming in field slugger Curtis Mead. Detroit Tigers all star starting pitcher Tarik Skubal is also in major headline trade news as the Tampa Bay Rays, Milwaukee Brewers are at the top of teams that want him ahead of Monday’s trade deadline with LA Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies monitoring if Detroit will trade him as well. Skubal has recently stated that he doesn’t prefer to be traded, but with his contract with the team ending after this season, and the Tigers still 4 games back in the wild card race, it would be smart for the Tigers to trade him now and get some pieces back for him if he were to decide to walk this summer and sign with another team when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Through 107 games played the Toronto Bluejays currently hold a record of 49-58 and are falling further and further back in the race for the AL Wildcard playoff spots. The Bluejays are currently in the middle of a series in Washington with the National and won Monday’s tilt 3-2. The jays take on the Nats Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon at 1pm before heading back home for a weekend series in Toronto against the St. Louis Cardinals who have been playing well lately. That is it for sports news this week. I hope you have a great remainder of the week and enjoy the long weekend which is just 2 days away! As always, thank you for tuning in to read, we appreciate it. See ya next week!
sibilities, their decisions translate national commitments into practical realities. Planning departments determine development progress, councils authorize litigation participation, staff communicate with developers, and police services respond to municipal requests. All these decisions occur within the broader constitutional relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Crown.
If local governments treat Indigenous rights
as external complications rather than integral legal and constitutional considerations, UNDRIP implementation remains symbolic. Municipal officials are part of this chain of responsibility, operating within governmental structures that derive authority from the same constitutional order whose senior ministers committed to implementing the Declaration. Upcoming municipal elections will therefore influence how local governments approach
Indigenous relationships, land-use planning, disclosure, consultation, and conflict resolution.
The gap between mandate and practice
Mandate letters alone do not ensure implementation; it requires measurable institutional change. This includes policing policies reflecting Indigenous rights, planning processes genuinely engaging Indigenous governments, educational systems accurately presenting treaty relationships, and resource
decisions consistent with free, prior, and informed consent. Governments must recognize that Article 26 cannot remain aspirational while developments proceed on contested lands.
If every federal minister is directed to implement UNDRIP, its effects should be observable in planning approvals, environmental assessments, policing practices, taxation, resource management, justice, housing, education, and public administration. Otherwise,
implementation exists primarily as language, not governance.
The Makwa Sahgaiehcan video is a single incident, but its historical context is extensive. From the military alliance between the Crown and Haudenosaunee, through administrative recognition withdrawal in 1924, the 1959 RCMP raids, Oka, Gustafsen Lake, Caledonia, Brantford, and ongoing land disputes, Indigenous communities have repeatedly faced state authority where govern-
ments struggle to reconcile political commitments with institutional practices. Canada has declared its objective: to implement UNDRIP in partnership with Indigenous peoples. The remaining question is whether these words will remain political statements or become measurable standards against which governments and their institutions are judged.
