Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation BINAAKWE GIIZIS

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka This is the time of year we know as BINAAKWE GIIZIS, which means “falling leaves moon.”

We are very much in tune with the cycle of the moons. Each moon has a name, similar to how the Roman calendar is divided in months, and then divided into different seasons as well.

But instead of four seasons, we have six that I know of. These seasons are more in line with the activities and movements of animals and the cycles of the plants from blooming to resting.

This is also a very spiritual time of year—when a certain star cluster known as the Pleiades comes closest to the earth. Therefore spirits are closer to us.

Prayer is intensified at this time of year as the connection between the Sky World and Mother Earth is at its closest.

The moon is also at her closest to earth at this time. BINAAKWE GIIZIS is a harvest moon, a time of activity when the animals and plants give of themselves more freely for food.

WAABIMIIN (Apples), OKOSIMAAN (pumpkins), OKOSIMAANENS (squash), and MANDAAMIN (corn) are part of the Anishinaabe harvest. This is a beautiful time of year when Mother Earth is in her finest dress, showing off her spectacular true colours.

This is also the time of hunting, although things are much different now. My people hunted for thousands of years without imposed, outside government regulations.

Our system of governance was in line with supporting sustainable food sources for our people. Through relationships of deep respect and gratitude, we hunted various animals who continued to give our people clothes, shelter and food.

I am reminded of one of the Elders telling me about a man who was known to have hunted deer without any weapons. He would go into the bush and hang his clothes up for a few days until they had no smell.

He would also do a sweat lodge ceremony, not only to commune with the spirit of the deer, but also to rid his body of toxins and any smells.

Masking his smell, three or four days later he would come out of the bush with a deer.

What an amazing way to hunt. This man killed that deer through patience, meditation, and a thorough knowledge of the deer, who would then freely give itself up to him through a process of spiritual recognition and connection.

Minaajim: Good Stories from Curve Lake First Nation BINAAKWE GIIZIS

As told by Doug Williams to Julie Kapyrka We have a very close relationship with the deer. We depend on that animal. However, the deer can survive without the human.

We have to be so careful. We are an entity that was introduced here on earth into a system that was already operating very well—where we have to take care. We have so much respect for the animals who sustain us.

I see more and more that hunting is becoming “macho,” and trophy hunting seems to be a big thing.

My people never hunted simply for sport. The taking of a life for food is a very sacred relationship. We have a deep gratitude for all the animals that sustain us.

This time of year is also a time of ceremony as well. BINAAKWE GIIZIS is a time for us to give many thanks to the many things that give us a good life.

It is also a time of fasting for a dream of insight to learn more about the culture in depth . . . but that is another story.

GO CURVE LAKE GO

PFIZER CANADA VOLUNTARILY RECALLS ONE LOT OF EPIPEN® 0.3 MG AND ONE LOT OF EPIPEN® JR 0.15 MG (EPINEPHRINE) AUTO-INJECTORS

KIRKLAND – March 31, 2017 – Pfizer Canada Inc., the Canadian distributor of EpiPen® (epinephrine) Auto-Injector, today announced a voluntary recall in consultation with Health Canada of one lot of EpiPen 0.3 mg (epinephrine) and one lot of EpiPen Jr 0.15 mg (epinephrine) Auto-Injectors distributed in Canada.

In Canada, the recall impacts one lot (5GU763) of the 0.3 mg strength of EpiPen Auto-Injector expiring in May 2017 and one lot (5GR765) of the 0.15 mg strength of EpiPen Jr Auto-Injector expiring in March 2017.

Photo of EpiPen 0.3 mg:

The recalled products were distributed by Pfizer Canada from January to March 2016.

Photo of EpiPen Jr 0.15 mg:

The recalled products were distributed by Pfizer Canada from November 2015 to February 2016.

This voluntary recall is being conducted as a result of the receipt of two previously disclosed reports outside of Canada of failure to activate the device due to a potential defect in a supplier component. The potential defect could make the device difficult to activate in an emergency (failure to activate or increased force needed to activate) and have significant health consequences for a patient experiencing a life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). The incidence of the defect is extremely rare and testing and analysis across the potentially impacted lots has not identified any units with a defect. However, the recall is being conducted in Canada out of an abundance of caution.

Return Process:

Pfizer Canada is committed to replacing recalled devices at no cost. Patients, healthcare professionals, wholesalers and pharmacists are being notified. Information is available on Pfizer.ca, Pfizer Canada Facebook page or EpiPen Canada Facebook page.

Patients will receive an EpiPen Auto-Injector at their pharmacy as a replacement based on product availability. We are expecting additional stock to become available to meet demand in the coming weeks.

ALERT: Measles Update

Serving the residents of Curve Lake and Hiawatha First Nations, and the County and

City of Peterborough

Attention: Healthcare Providers

Many parts of Ontario are reporting measles. Measles is a highly contagious virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person. Measles virus can live for up to two hours on a surface or in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed. What to watch for:

Fever >38.3 °C (oral)

At least one of : cough, runny nose or conjunctivitis;

Koplik spots on the buccal mucosa; and,

Generalized maculopapular rash. Most cases of measles become apparent 10-14 days after infection with the virus. The incubation period ranges from 7 to 21 days. For Guidance on Laboratory Testing:

Measles Virus Detection by PCR, visit: www.publichealthontario.ca and search Measles - Diagnostic - PCR

Diagnostic serology, visit: www.publichealthontario.ca and search Measles - Diagnostic Serology Please report immediately to Peterborough Public Health 705-743-1000 ext. 131 or 139 if you clinically suspect measles. After-hours, please call 705-760-8127. Preparing Your Office: As per the Infection Prevention and Control in Clinical Office Practice document (visit www.publichealthontario.ca and search Infection Prevention and Control for Clinical Office Practice), consideration should be given to making special arrangements for patients with suspected or confirmed measles:

Make every effort to see the patient at the end of the day, if clinical status allows.

Quickly triage the patient out of the common waiting areas and move the patient to an examining room.

If possible, the patient should enter and exit through a separate entrance and go directly in and out of the examination room.

Provide a surgical face mask for the patient to wear at all times while in all areas of the clinical office.

Keep the door to the treatment/exam room closed. Visitors and staff should not enter the room unless they are immune to the disease (where immunity is an option). Open a window in the room, if this is possible.

Place alert signage for staff on the closed door.

An N95 respirator is not necessary if the health care provider has documented immunity to measles. Only immune staff should provide care to patients with chickenpox or measles.

Allow sufficient time for the air to change in the room and be free of droplet nuclei before using the room for another patient (for tuberculosis) or for a non-immune patient (for measles and chickenpox). The time required may be minimized if the patient has worn a surgical mask consistently.

Routine cleaning for the room or equipment is sufficient after examining a patient under Airborne Precautions. For more information:

Trent-Severn Waterway Community Update

Walleye and Chorus Frog Surveys

Underway Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site

Peterborough – Kawartha – Talbot Areas

April 3, 2017 – In the coming weeks Parks Canada will be undertaking assessments of the fish and frog populations at numerous sites along the Trent-Severn Waterway. As a result of this work, community members may see individuals with flashlights on top of numerous dams or the adjacent shorelines during the evening hours.

This work is part of Parks Canada’s rigorous environmental assessment and permitting process and will provide important data about the health of walleye and chorus frog populations in the area. These assessments help us to fulfill our commitment to Canadians to protect the natural and cultural heritage of our treasured places.

Walleye Surveying

Walleye are a cool water fish found in rivers and lakes throughout Ontario. The health of the walleye population is important to both indigenous and recreational fisheries. Many Parks Canada dams that will see repairs in the coming years are known to have walleye spawning areas in the downstream areas.

2

The individuals assessing the walleye populations in the coming weeks will be working in the evening hours as walleye are known to be more active at night. Using high-powered flashlights they will be able count the number of fish present based on the reflection given off by the eyes.

The fish surveys will take place at Locks 19, 22-26, 28, 37, 38, and in the Talbot area. Staff will begin at the dams and then move slowly down the shoreline a short distance.

These studies will help to provide a baseline for walleye population in the area prior to construction and will inform the requirements of the Environmental Management Plans.

Chorus Frog Surveying

Chorus frogs are considered a species at risk that has critical habitat in certain areas along the Trent-Severn Waterway. Chorus frogs lay eggs in temporary ponds that form only in spring unlike other frogs that make use of more common wetlands, making the chorus frog population more vulnerable.

In order to get a better understanding of the locations of chorus frog critical habitat, surveyors will be in the field during the evening listening for the distinctive chorus frog call. Surveyors may also mimic the call themselves in order to encourage those frogs that may be shy.

This work will take place along the Otonabee River.

Investments into Trent-Severn Waterway Infrastructure

The Government of Canada has announced more than $600 million of work on infrastructure across the Trent-Severn Waterway and its reservoir lakes. Through investments in infrastructure, Parks Canada is protecting and preserving our treasured places, while supporting local economies, contributing to growth in the tourism sector, and enhancing the safety of Canada’s heritage sites.

For More Information: For up-to-date news on infrastructure work along the Trent-Severn Waterway, please visit our website: www.pc.gc.ca/tswInfrastructure. For questions or concerns, or to receive updates regarding this project, please contact us at ont.trentsevern@pc.gc.ca and include “Infrastructure” in the subject heading.

Well Maintenance Checklist

Know where your well is located. Extend the casing above grade, if buried.

Watch for changes in the taste, odor and color of the water.

Have a sample tested for bacteria at least once a year - more often if problems

are suspected or if the well is very shallow.

Test for nitrate-nitrogen every three years. Note: test for sodium plus nitrate-

nitrogen to verify contaminant source from septic system.

Disinfect the well with chlorine after doing any work on the inside of the well

or pumping equipment.

Inspect the inside of the well at least once a year. Early spring just after the

snow has melted is a good time. Also,

→ look for signs of surface water seeping or running freely into the well;

look for seepage through cracks or stains on the inside of the casing

→ check the seal around the plumbing inlets into the well casing (dug or

bored) or well pit, and replace sealing material if water is seeping in

from outside the well

→ remove any debris floating in the well and prevent further debris from

entering the well

→ Compare your well construction to the diagrams that show proper

techniques.

Inspect the cover or sanitary seal for cracks and holes.

Check the condition of well vents.

Watch for settling of the ground around the outside of the well casing.

Mound up the ground around the outside of the well or well pit with clean

earth.

Keep all potential contamination sources away from the top of the well.

Maintain a permanent grassed buffer at least 3 meters (10 ft.) around your

well.
