Canada Day 2026 will be one many won’t soon forget, with a powerful freak storm, power out for hundreds across the reserve and Southern Ontario, and two tragedies in nearby Binbrook during one of the hottest heat waves in recent memory.
The Hamilton, Binbrook and surrounding communities are mourning the loss of a 7-year-old boy at Binbrook Conservation Area, who went missing on Canada Day in the afternoon as hundreds were trying to get relief in
Nathaniel Selambi, 7, drowned in Lake Niapenco at Binbrook Conservation Area while celebrating with the Cameroonian community on July 1.
The boy’s mother is now calling for life jackets and more warning signs at Binbrook Conservation Area after her son’s tragic drowning.
A GoFund Me has been established to help the family with funeral expenses with the goal of $10,000. So far, about $5.9 thousand has been raised.
"Nathaniel was a fun and energetic student who will be deeply missed by his drum instructor Matt
Solver and the rest of his fellow classmates,” read a social media post from the Hamilton Music Collective.
“Our entire team is holding his family close in our thoughts as we grieve this unimaginable loss.”
There are also calls to make publicly-funded swimming lessons mandatory for children of all ages.
That same afternoon, a kayaker capsized on the small lake. While police and EMS were responding to reports of the missing boy, extra EMS also responded to calls regarding a kayaker who capsized on the lake as a powerful storm swept through the area.
A brief, but powerful thunderstorm brought on by the intense heat swept through the area around the supper hour on July 1 with strong winds and torrential rains, downing trees and cutting power out for thousands across the region.
The 61-year-old kayaker was experienced and local news reports say he suffered a medical incident and could not reach the shore.
His name has been kept private.
The storm left 140,000 customers without hydro or air conditioning in Southern Ontario, including Binbrook, Brantford, Caledonia and Six Nations
after downed trees fell on hydro lines.
Some Six Nations residents were left without power or air conditioning for 24 hours before it was restored, as temperatures soared into the 40s with humidex values factored in.
Dajoh was opened as a cooling centre for relief from the extreme heat and crisis lines were open for those experiencing distress from the power outage and heat wave.
Dozens of people took to social media to express concerns about food going to waste, as well as concerns for seniors and the disabled who rely on hydro for their medical needs.
The Canada Day storm caused havoc at the celebrations in Lions Park Brantford and throughout Southern Ontario leaving 140,000 customers without hydro. TAMMY PRICE
Two women sentenced for murder of Indigenous boy
confined them in the home for long periods of time, and also physically abused them.
*note: graphic testimony of child abuse*
Two women have been sentenced to life in prison for the death of an Indigenous boy they were planning to adopt.
A judge handed the sentences to Brandy Cooney and Becky Hamber last week in the December 2022 death of a 12-yearold boy, who weighed only 48 pounds, the weight of a 6-year-old, at the time of his death.
His younger brother also lived in the Burlington home with him but he survived and testified at the trial.
Court heard the prospective adoptive parents starved and neglected the boys, denied them food,
Medical records state the boy was severely malnourished and likely died from resulting cardiac arrest or hypothermia.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Clayton Conlan found the women guilty on all charges, which include first-degree murder, forcible confinement, assault with a weapon and failing to provide the necessaries of life.
The ten-month-long murder trial culminated in life sentences for Cooney, 45, and Hamber, 47, with no chance of parole for 25 years.
The case has sparked widespread outrage and deep concern for the social agencies entrusted with the boys’ welfare.
“Sentencing is the end
of this case but not the memory of L.L. and only the beginning of J.L.’s life,” Conlan said in a Milton court.
The pair were found guilty of murder in May.
Court heard the boy was found emaciated and without vital signs in the basement of the Burlington home where the couple lived in 2022.
The women were arrested by Halton Police on Jan. 17, 2023.
They were first charged with assault, then, a year later on Feb. 29, 2024, they were charged with first-degree murder.
Altogether, 48 witnesses testified before the court.
The boy’s biological mother tearfully testified during her victim impact statement that she wanted people to remember her son as a “smart, funny kid” and that he loved books and sports.
The boy’s younger brother, J.L.. is now 14.
J.L. told the court that he missed his big brother and said he was scared having to face the two women again in court.
The two women maintained their innocence and said justice was not served during their sentencing hearing.
Hamber said, “We have the truth always,” while
apologizing. “I can learn from my mistakes and move forward.”
One of the women read a poem about the deceased boy during the sentencing hearing, eliciting looks of disgust from spectators.
The surviving brother said he wants to be a lawyer when he grows up.
The boys’ former foster mother from Ottawa also read from a victim impact statement.
Firefighters and EMS also spoke of the trauma they experienced upon finding L.L. in the basement of the couple’s Burlington home on Dec. 21, 2022.
During the trial, Justice Conlan said he found the women’s defence, including claims of anorexia to explain L.L.’s death, to be “lacking in basic common sense” and “replete with
inconsistencies” and “contradictions.”
Evidence presented at trial include internet searches of the words “murder” and “manslaughter.”
Conlan also said he doubted the women’s innocence when, "Ms. Cooney is busy looking up on the Internet how to erase footage on cameras.”
Halton Children’s Aid Society said in a press release they were “unable to comment on the specific circumstances of this case” and said it, “extends our sincere condolences to the family and the Indigenous community. Protecting the safety and well-being of the children and youth we serve remains at the core of our mandate.”
The Ottawa CAS, who had also had dealings with the brothers, would not comment on the case.

Courts split on whether Aboriginal title can reach private land
A B.C. ruling recognizing coexistence and a New Brunswick decision rejecting it have left a national question unsettled as appeals continue
are appealing.
For the Cowichan, the ruling confirmed a longheld claim. “We fought to get back what was ours,”
Two conflicting court decisions have left Canada without a settled answer on whether Aboriginal title can apply to privately owned land — a question that has unsettled homeowners, governments and the resource sector, and that the Supreme Court of Canada has so far declined to resolve.
The uncertainty deepened in early July, when British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Barbara Young refused to reopen the landmark Cowichan (Quw’utsun) title case, rejecting a major landowner’s bid as an abuse of process after a trial that ran 513 days.
In August 2025, Justice Young declared that roughly 3.25 square kilometres of land in Richmond — a mix of residential, agricultural and industrial property near the Fraser River — is subject to Aboriginal title, and that the title can coexist with the private ownership already registered there. She found the land had been readied for sale between 1871 and 1914 without proper process, and urged governments to negotiate rather than litigate. The federal and provincial governments and the City of Richmond
Chief Cindy Daniels of Cowichan Tribes said after the decision. Nation leaders have repeatedly said they are not seeking to remove individual homeowners.
Those homeowners — more than 100 private owners fall within the claim area — have voiced alarm, with some saying they learned their properties were affected only through letters from the city. Montrose Properties, the area’s largest landowner with about 120 hectares of industrial land, sought to reopen the case; after losing, president Ken Low said the company was weighing its options and that “private property rights must be protected.”
Chief Shana Thomas, hereditary chief of Lyackson First Nation, part of the Quw’utsun Nation, said the July ruling showed that Aboriginal title is real and cannot be treated as an afterthought. She accused some politicians of using the case to stoke public anxiety, calling fearmongering “a tactic” that distracts from affordability and other pressures.
The New Brunswick courts took a narrower path — one widely misread as a flat rejection of title. The December ruling
came not from a trial but from a pretrial motion over whether private lands could be part of the case, and it turned on a fine distinction. A court can still make a finding that Aboriginal title exists on privately held land, the Court of Appeal held, but it cannot issue a declaration of title — which carries exclusive possession — against private owners. The six Wolastoqey communities, who added private industrial landowners to their claim in 2021 and argue they never ceded the territory, may still pursue a declaration over Crown lands and seek compensation from the province for the private parcels, but not the return of the land itself. The court did not extinguish the claim; the broader title trial has yet to be heard.
The appeal court warned that granting the Wolastoqey exclusive possession would sound a “death knell” for reconciliation with non-Indigenous Canadians, invoking the Supreme Court’s 2014 Tsilhqot’in decision on balancing interests.
On May 28, 2026, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear the Wolastoqey appeal, leaving the New Brunswick ruling in place. As is customary, it gave no reasons.
Chief Patricia Bernard of Madawaska Maliseet First Nation said the refusal
did not mean the court endorsed the lower ruling, adding that “the fight for our homeland will continue.”
Both governments and First Nations claimed ground. A spokesperson for federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty said the decision would inform other cases, including Cowichan, and described private property rights as fundamental. Lawyers for the Cowichan countered that the top court had settled nothing, leaving the question “open for a future case.”
Legal observers expect the issue to return to the Supreme Court, most likely when the Cowichan appeal is heard. Until then, two provinces operate under two different answers — a divide the Green Party’s David Coon has said cannot stand when the law depends on where a person lives.
OPINION
Perspective Begins with Language
Nearly fifteen years ago, before Two Row Times existed, a sheriff taught me something about my own country that I have never been able to set down. It was not about treaties or politics. It was about a single word.
My father’s home on the Haldimand Tract was under threat of tax enforcement. The levies had been registered against the property, and the sheriff had come to the door more than once. On one of those visits, in the strain of it, the talk turned to who we are.
He called me Haudenosaunee. I said, that I preferred Onkwehón:we.
He cut me off before I could say why. “I spent ten years learning to say ‘Haudenosaunee,’” he told me. “I’m not learning no more.”
And that was the end of it.
I have carried that moment for fifteen years, because it was never really about how to pronounce a word. It was about perspective—about whose language, in that driveway and on that land, would be allowed to name what was real. And it was the man sent to enforce the Crown’s claim who decided he would not learn it.
Language is not neutral. No language is. Every tongue carries a cosmology
inside it: its own assumptions about time, kinship, ownership, and responsibility. To reach for one word instead of another is to decide, in that instant, how the world will be seen, remembered, and governed.
Canada has begun to understand this, in its way. Territorial acknowledgments, restored place names, Kanien’kéha on public buildings, immersion classrooms from Kahnawà:ke to Ohsweken—these are real, and they are welcome. But they open a harder question than the one they answer. What happens when the language does not merely decorate the land, but changes how we see it?
Start with maps. To most Canadians a map looks like a neutral thing—roads, rivers, concessions, township lines, lot numbers. It is nothing of the sort. Every map is an argument about what matters. Someone chose which names would appear on it, whose history would be written into the ground, and whose presence would simply vanish. Long before British surveyors laid the grid of Upper Canada over this valley, the people here already moved through a fully named world. Rivers were known by their currents and their stories. Portages carried the memory of everyone who had crossed them. Hills, fishing grounds, ceremonial sites, seasonal camps—each held a name thick with ecology, kinship,
and spirit.
Those names were not lost by accident. They were surveyed out.
A map, in the end, is not geography. It is memory made visible—or made to disappear.
Now imagine travelling the Grand River with both names in hand, the English and the Kanien’kéha together. Every bend, every crossing, every rise of land would tell two stories at once, and neither would cancel the other. The valley would read as what it has always been: layered, shared, and older than the survey.
This is not a fantasy. Across the country, communities are restoring the older names, and bilingual signs are going up. Some people dismiss this as symbolic. I think that misunderstands what a symbol is. A restored name is a working instrument. It teaches the eye where to look.
That is what a second language does first—before it touches policy or opinion, it changes the questions you think to ask. Stand at a river you have only ever known in English, learn its Kanien’kéha name, and new questions arrive on their own. Who named this water, and what did they see moving in it? Why was this rise a place of gathering, or of ceremony? What knowledge of seasons, of medicines, of relationships is still folded into that word? And what happened here before the concession
roads and the county lines were ever drawn?
I tried to build a place for those questions once. Years ago in Brantford I proposed a Haudenosaunee Neighbourhood Association—not to separate anyone from anyone, but to make one civic space where a conversation could begin from an Onkwehón:we worldview instead of being translated, always, into someone else’s. The timing was wrong then. I am no longer sure it is wrong now. The wider culture has been catching up to something our people have held for a very long time.
We have a name for that something. The Kaswentha—the Two Row Wampum—records an agreement as old as our dealings with newcomers: two vessels on one river, travelling the same water side by side. In one boat, our laws, our customs, our ways. In the other, theirs. The rule is simple and it has never changed. Neither boat steers the other.
Language can live by that same rule.
Restoring Kanien’kéha to the land does not mean displacing English, and it certainly does not mean displacing the families who have built their homes here over generations. This has never been an argument against my neighbours. It is an argument against erasure—against the old assumption that only one vessel is real, and the other is a thing to be steered, cor-
rected, or quietly removed from the map.
Two rows. One river. Both names on the sign.
None of this is abstract, and none of it is costly.
Picture a stop sign where STOP stands beside Tésta’n—as it already does in Kanien’kéha communities that decided their children should read both. Picture historical markers that carry the present name and the older one beneath it.
Picture classrooms where students learn not only how to say a word, but the philosophy and the ecology living inside it. Picture the official documents, the wayfinding apps, the digital maps—all of them showing two rows, English and Kanien’kéha, side by side.
The two languages are not competitors. They are complements. English is superb at administration, at legal precision, at political abstraction. Kanien’kéha holds what English struggles to say: relationship, ecological exactness, time understood as a cycle rather than a line, an entire grammar of kinship with the living world. Put them together and you get a truer picture of this place than either can give alone.
This is why revitalization is not nostalgia. A language is not a costume. When one dies, we do not merely lose words—we lose metaphors, humour, whole categories of thought, and generations of hard-won knowledge about how to live in balance with the
land and with one another. We lose a way of seeing. We lose perspective.
The sheriff in my father’s driveway believed one label would do. But understanding has never come from a single memorized term. It begins the moment we are willing—even for a while— to see through another people’s language, and to think in it.
That may be the most demanding thing reconciliation asks of anyone. Not to say a few Indigenous words at the top of a meeting, but to think alongside them. To let the second row be real.
Canada’s strength was never going to come from forcing one story to swallow the rest. It comes from letting many stories share the same ground with honesty. The Haldimand Tract, the Grand River, the wider Haudenosaunee homelands—these have always been places of meeting. Naming that plainly takes nothing from anyone. It only tells the truth.
Every restored name. Every bilingual sign. Every child fluent in the grammar of two worlds. Every map that dares to show two rows. Each one widens what we are able to see. Language does not simply describe the world—it decides how much of the world we are able to see, and how much we are willing to honour. The two rows are already on the water. The only question left is whether we have the courage to read them both.

Six Nations Elected Council approves new funding agreements
Amendments support child and family services and community priorities through 2028
ments with Indigenous Services Canada. The updates extend support for key programs through March 2028.
The Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council (SNEC) continued work on financial matters during the first week of July 2026, approving amendments to comprehensive funding agree-
General finance discussions, which built on June meetings, focused on amendments numbered 199 and 200. These include significant allocations for First Nations Child and Family Services,
prevention programs, and family violence prevention initiatives. Total funding adjustments reflect ongoing needs in child welfare, family support and community safety.
Council members reviewed detailed breakdowns during open sessions, emphasizing transparent governance and alignment with communi-
ty priorities. The five-year framework, originally established in 2021 and extended, provides stable resourcing for essential services delivered directly to members.
This work occurs amid broader efforts to strengthen administrative capacity and respond to growing demands in housing, health and education.
Officials noted that consistent funding is critical for maintaining program continuity and addressing emerging challenges on the territory.
Community members are encouraged to stay engaged with council processes, including upcoming opportunities for input on related initiatives. The approvals
demonstrate continued focus on self-determination in program delivery while working within federal partnership agreements. In the same period, council reiterated commitments to other priorities such as infrastructure upgrades and cultural preservation.
