Iconic Six Nations actor Graham Greene opened doors for Indigenous actors
He is the only Six Nations person to ever be nominated for an Academy Award and is probably one of the most famous actors the community ever produced.
The world was shocked when it learned Oneida actor Graham Greene passed away peacefully last week on Aug. 31 in Stratford, Ont.
He was 73.
Greene was probably best known for his role as Lakota Sioux Medicine Man, Kicking Bird, in the smash hit 1990 period piece Dances With Wolves, starring alongside famed actor Kevin Costner.
The role netted Greene an Oscar nod.
Greene was much more than an actor, though.
He was also a storyteller and hilarious comedian, whose wit and delivery on the Canadian sketch comedy The Red Green Show had audiences rolling.
His off-the-cuff comments and jokes were often improvised and in his later years, he took to telling wildly embellished stories on his social media accounts, garnishing him thousands of new fans with the way he wove the
riotous adventures on his occasional Facebook updates.
His last Facebook update was on Aug. 22 in which he wrote: “At my age, when I put my pants on backwards, they fit better.”
Just this year, he was inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, the latest in a string of accolades he racked up over his 50-year career.
Greene was considered a trailblazer for First Nations representation in film and television, opening doors for generations to come.
He also had memorable roles in films like Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Green Mile, and Thunderheart.
Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council said Greene’s work left a lasting impact on the industry.
“His influence will
continue to inspire our community for years to come.”
His award-winning career earned him recognition as a member of the Order of Canada, induction into Canada’s Walk of Fame, and most recently, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.
“Graham Greene shared the stories and resilience of our people in every role he played,” said Elect-
ed Chief Sherri-lyn Hill. “Graham brought pride to our community, and his legacy will continue to be honoured and inspire future generations. I send my condolences to his family and friends, and all who were impacted by his life and work.”
Greene is survived by one daughter and wife Hilary.
He is also the second cousin of another famous Six Nations actor, Gary Farmer.
Greene was probably best known for his role as Lakota Sioux Medicine Man, Kicking Bird, in the smash hit 1990 period piece Dances With Wolves, starring alongside famed actor Kevin Costner. FILE
Beloved Elder Garry Sault had huge impact on community
New Not-for-Profit in Niagara
NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE –
At the close of the profoundly moving Indigenous Niagara Outstanding Achievement Awards held at Niagara College on Friday, “One More Thing” was announced. Building upon two decades of work to advance understanding of the Indigenous contributions made by First Nations to the defense and formation of Canada, and to create insightful and memorable experiences for learning, the Niagara Academy for Indigenous Relations was established. With offices in Niagara-on-the-Lake and Six Nations of the Grand River, the organization will serve as a vital institution dedicated to acknowledging, understanding, and building upon historic relations that once were such a critically important, but generally unknown, aspect of Niagara’s Indigenous history.
“The Niagara Academy for Indigenous Relations comes along at a critical time,” said the organization’s President, Tim Johnson. “With deep credentials and extensive
experience, the team we have assembled operates at the highest level in educating the public about the Indigenous experience and in facilitating professional development across many sectors.”
Programmatically situated in Niagara-On-The-Lake, a region rich in Indigenous and colonial history, the location itself symbolizes the meeting point between past and present, offering a scenic and solemn backdrop for learning, dialogue, and healing.
“The Academy will work to honour the spirit and intent of the Treaty of Niagara of 1764, recognizing the historic alliance between the Crown and First Nations,” said Vice President Rick Hill. “Through education by fostering truth, healing, mutual understanding, and reconciliation through immersive seminars, symposia, and retreats, as well as land-based learning and storytelling, including public programs and publishing, we aspire to provide credentialed
Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation Elder Garry Sault is being remembered for the lasting impact he will have on the community, and across Canada, after he passed away peacefully Sept. 2.
MCFN made the announcement last week, acknowledging Sault as a distinguished Anishinaabe Elder, Knowledge Keeper and revered storyteller.
He was also a United States Navy Veteran.
MCFN described Sault as a man whose wisdom, warmth and dedication inspired generations across and beyond the community.
“His deep commitment
to cultural education and treaty knowledge made him an invaluable guide in understanding our shared histories,” MCFN said in a press release. “A keeper of treaty teachings, Elder Sault illuminated the significance of wampum belts and the early treaties signed by our peopleover twenty pre-Confederation agreements with the Crown that define much of the Golden Horseshoe. Through storytelling and public talks, he brought complex history to life with clarity and care.”
Sault frequently shared his teachings at gatherings throughout the region - from presentations at public institutions to cultural events across municipal and conservation forums.
Sault opened events
with traditional smudging ceremonies and gifted attendees with spiritual connection and ancestral presence.
“His passing will be felt far beyond MCFN. He will be deeply missed not only as a teacher and cultural ambassador, but as a friend, mentor and beloved family member.”
He is survived by his wife of over five decades, Tena.
“Beyond his cultural leadership, Sault was deeply rooted in family.”
He and Tena treasured their time with their grandchildren.
“His ability to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds made him a bridge between cultures and generations and his spirit will continue to inspire those who had the
privilege of knowing him,” MCFN noted.
MCFN Ogiima Kwe (Chief) Claire Sault said, “Elder Garry Sault was a guiding light for our nation - his knowledge, gentleness, and humour enriched our community and educated many across this region. His absence leaves a profound void. We honour his memory by carrying forward his teachings and stories.”
Born on Nov. 20, 1945, he was 80 years old. He is survived by his wife, children Michelle, Stanford (Inez), Garry (Whitney) and Aldean (special friend Ardell).
He was the loving grandfather of fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Joanne.

Ipperwash 30th anniversary
ANISHINABEK
NATION
TERRITORY — The Anishinabek Nation remembers these events, and our thoughts are with the community of Kettle and Stony Point during this solemn time. This time is an opportunity to reflect on the challenges we continue to face as we advance the ongoing work to ensure lands wrongfully taken are returned to the rightful owners and that our ancestors are not forgotten.
“The Anishinabek Nation has been working on heritage and burials, treaty, and public education, but this is often done without the support from our provincial government counterparts," states Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige. "For far too long, the Government of Ontario has been ignoring our inherent and treaty rights. History has proven this as we remember the events that led to the tragic incident at Ipperwash Provincial Park, and the inaction of the Government of Ontario to prevent it. We need expedited processes that will ensure tragedies like Ipperwash never happen again. Co-management is no longer an option for lands that rightfully belong to our First Nations. The events at Ipperwash has produced a resentment that has been ingrained in our memory and has set back First Nations-Government relations in Ontario. The damage resulting from those events led to a loss of trust, which still resonates across the Anishinabek territory today.”
As an organization, we had identified key recommendations for Ontario, which were not implemented:
1. The provincial government should establish a permanent, independent, and impartial agency to facilitate and oversee the settling of land and treaty claims in Ontario. The agency should be called the Treaty Commission of Ontario.
pation indecision-making. These rules and policies should eventually be incorporated into provincial legislation, regulations, and other government policies as appropriate.
In 2007, The Report of the Ipperwash Inquiry produced 100 recommendations for implementation, and the Anishinabek Nation is disappointed that there continues to be little to no movement on the implementation of the recommendations. The OPP has addressed 25 policing recommendations; however, it has yet to implement them.
15. The provincial government should promote respect and understanding of the duty to consult and accommodate within relevant provincial agencies and Ontario municipalities.
22. The provincial government should work with First Nations and First Nation organizations to develop policies that acknowledge the uniqueness of First Nation burial and heritage sites, ensure that First Nations are aware of decisions affecting burial and heritage sites, and promote First Nations partici-
30. The Ministry of Education should establish formal working relationships with First Nation organizations to promote more First Nation perspectives and content in the elementary and secondary school curricula.
37. The provincial government should establish and fund an Ontario First Nation Reconciliation Fund. The Ministry of Indigenous Affairs should work with First Nations and First Nation organizations to determine the mandate, governance structure, funding guidelines, and administrative structure of the fund. The provincial government should commit sufficient resources to the fund to enable it to achieve its objectives.
56. The federal and provincial governments should update their policies on First Nation policing to recognize that self-administered First Nation police services in Ontario are the primary police service providers in their communities. The Anishinabek Nation remains committed to working with other First Nations, provincial organizations, and various government ministries within the federal and provincial governments to implement the recommendations.
"These recommendations are very similar to what First Nations have been saying to the Government since the spring about Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025. We have hope that our partners will see how advancing relationships with First Nations does not come from continuing to ignore, violate, and threaten the inherent rights of Anishinabek people and undermines the
foundational principles of the treaty relationship. The journey to reconciliation must be a reciprocal one for all partners involved. On this 30th anniversary, I call upon the Premier to stand up on behalf of all Ontarians and do the right thing and implement the Ipperwash Inquiries and the OPP recommendations,” states Grand Council Chief Debassige.
The Anishinabek Nation is a political advocate for 39 member First Nations across Ontario, representing approximately 70,000 citizens. The Anishinabek Nation is the oldest political organization in Ontario and can trace its roots back to the Confederacy of Three Fires, which existed long before European contact.

New Westminster BC —
Coming back from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series is not easy, but is doable, but a return from a 3-0 brink of elimination, although not entirely unheard of, is a much more difficult journey.
The Six Nations Chiefs know this and knew they had to break out of the defensive cage the host Salmonbellies had built around them in Games #1 and #2 to allow their talent ladened offence free. Nineteen goals and sixty shots later, the Chiefs went back to their hotel rooms with an overwhelming 19-9 win set the series at 2-1 with Game #4 set for Tuesday night, in a game that will miss our deadline.
Leading the Chiefs counterattack was Lyle Thompson who scored three and assisted on six. Brendan Bomberry tipped his hand about what was coming when he scored the first goal of the game, from Nonkon Thompson.
It didn’t take a minute before the Salmonbellies’ Will Malcom got that back. What followed was a complete dominance of the Western Champions.
Lyle Thompson put the first notch on his stick to restore the Six Nations lead and open an offensive floodgate. Ryan Smith, Thompson’s second, and Smith’s second put the Chiefs up 5-1 by the halfway point of the first period.
Malcom scored his second of the game for New West but Dhane Smith, who is having a career season, got his mojo working to make it 6-2. Thompson and Smith closed the first period with an 8-3 lead. It didn’t stop there. Shayne Jackson and Dhane Smith piled on early in the second and after a brief one-goal pushback by the Salmonbellies, the Chiefs silenced the New West fans with impressive goals by Randy Staats, D. Smith
Six Nations Chiefs crush Salmonbellies 19-9
and Dawson Theede.
By the end of 40 minutes, the Chiefs were in total control 14-4. The Bellies had a short run of success in the early going of the third netting three, but still back, 14-7. Chiefs’ Randy Staats, interrupted the New West power surge from Thompson and Smith and it was 15-7.
By the midpoint of the third, it was 16-8, and the Chiefs weren’t finished as the Chiefs took a momentum turning, 19-9, Six Nations win.
After three games, Dhane Smith (6G,10A) still leads the Chiefs in scoring followed by Ryan Smith (5G,3A), Lyle Thompson (4G,6A), and Josh Byrne (3G,2A).
The question now remains, how are the Salmonbellies going to respond to this humiliation when they return to the green hardwood Tuesday, for Game 4. The answer to that unfortunately, will not be known until after our deadline. One adjustment that may still need to be addressed by Chiefs coaching staff may be the Six Nations penalty killers. The Salmonbellies have scored six powerplay goals to the Chiefs one.
Games #5 will go Wednesday, Sept 10th, and Games #6 and #7, if necessary, will be played Friday, Sept. 12, and Saturday Sept. 13th.
Monday night’s Game #3 in the Mann Cup play-
offs in BC, was key to the Chiefs quest for a threepeat Mann Cup championship.
Game number one was a heart breaker with New Westminster scoring the tying goal with one-second left on the clock to send the game into O.T., the hometown fans into frenzy and the Chiefs, disappointed.
New Westminster took the added adrenaline brought by the Western fans, to take a 3-0, first period score, outshooting Six Nations 22-15.
That was a wakeup call to the Eastern Champions who got their feet under them in the second frame.
Veteran, Cody Jamieson may have lost a few steps along the way, but he has lost none of his grit and determination not to mention a ballistic missile for a shot. The Captain lead the way in the second period, scoring to put the Chiefs on the scorecard.
With the score 3-1, the Bellies scored the next two for a 5-1 lead. Shane Jackson scored from Josh Byne and Dhane Smith to keep a string attached to the surging Salmonbellies. Will Malcom responded for thw Bellies before the Chiefs unloaded the next five goals spanning across the last part of the second period and into the third.
Dawson Theede, Cody Jamieson, with his second, Dhane Smith, Ryan Smith and Dhanes’ second of the
in regulation time, the unthinkable happened.
The Salmonbellies, in desperation tied the game sending the game into an extra period to determine a winner. In one dressing room the energy was electric while in the other, there was shock and disbelief.
Once the teams returned to the famous green hardwood floor, Mitch Jones put the Bellies ahead, on a powerplay 8-7. Jackson tied it up again but that would be all the offence the Chiefs has left as the Salmonbellies connected with the final three goals of the game for the 11-8, New West win.
game brought the Chiefs their first lead of the game at 7-6 with four minutes left on the clock.
With one-second left
The Chiefs now knew exactly what they were facing. New Westminster’s long and successful existence gave them just a little extra in front of a
loud and proud Salmonbellies fan base.
Josh Byne opened and closed the first period for the Chiefs but the Bellies scored three in between. New West scored a quick goal to take a two-goal advantage over Six Nations early in the second, and another at 12:30 of the period for a Salmonbellies 5-2 lead.
Lyle Thompson and Dawson Tweede to bring the Chiefs back into the game, down 5-4. Then the Bellies slammed the door on the Chiefs and added another goal with two-seconds left in the period for a 6-4 lead.
Shane Jackson kept the Chiefs close but still down 7-5, and still having trouble solving the New West goalie, especially in the third, as the Chiefs dropped Game #2, 10-6.
Six Nations Chiefs came from a two-game deficit to crush the host New Westminster Salmonbellies 19-9 in Game #3 of the best-of-seven Mann Cup playoffs in BC on Monday night. FILE
