Led by the New Credit Sacred Staff and the Mississauga of the New Credit Council banner, Chief Bryan Laforme and AIAI Grand Chief Gordie Peters, about 150 New Credit members and Six Nations allies marched from Hagersville to New Credit Thursday at around noon. The march was New Credit Council’s input in the still growing Idle no More movement that began in response to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s bill C-45 and other pieces of federal legislation it is said will negatively impact Indigenous people across Canada.

By Stephanie DearingBRANTFORD

A flash mob showed up at Brantford's City Hall Mon-day night, timing their ap-pearance to coincide with the regular City Council meet-ing, only to find the doors closed to them.

Mohawk Cheryl Squire said the event had been or-ganized to coincide with the global day of action called for by Idle No More, but said the protesters were there with issues that were local in nature.

“We've been at Kanata vil-lage, and we've had a lot of problems there,” said Squire. “We've had a lot of issues there and we're fighting for our land and all the injustices that they did to our people.”

Squire said non-Natives have taken “almost a mil-lion acres” of the Hal-dimand Tract “from us now, so we're fighting for that as well. We're getting justice for our people. As most people know, they did a lot of things to our people, the residential school, they put our people in jail and take our children to the CAS and murder our women. We're about all them things, that's why we're here today.”

As the small group of ap-proximately 20 people stood outside the glass doors of City Hall, one woman who refused to identify herself, waved a large Mohawk Warrior flag and asked for “permission to come on the ship,” referencing the two-row wampum.

“Can we enter,” she asked.“We don't get an answer,”

said another protester.As the protesters stood

outside the doors, solidar-

ity supporter Tom Keef-er pointed out Brantford's logo, which includes a two row wampum belt. A Brant-ford resident showed up to attend the council meeting, but was refused entry. “I'm a business owner in town and I have some concerns that I wanted to bring up to coun-cillors tonight,” said Scott Wood.

Wood declined to identi-fy his business saying, “I'm here as a citizen tonight.” He was not happy about be-ing shut out of the meeting. Wood said he wasn't on the agenda, “but I had some ne-gotiations with a couple of the councillors and I just wanted to come and follow up on it tonight, but I can't get in.”

Wood said he did not know about the Idle No More pro-test. He said he was “a little bit disappointed as a citizen that I wanted to come and watch city council and I'm an avid watcher on Monday nights on TV. I wanted to come in person tonight to address the councillors di-rectly, and I guess that's not going to happen.”

Jason Bowman, who has been helping the Mohawk Workers pursue the col-lection of monies they say Brantford owes them said, “We heard from their law-yer and of course the City is denying any responsibility.”

The water was shut off with the electricity around mid-December, Bowman said. He was wearing a sign asking for the water to be turned back on.

The Mohawk Workers “have never gotten a bill for anything,” said Bowman. He said it “was strange to me that they were paying [util-

ity bills] anyway in the first place; all we want to do is be like normal people to have a utility account and pay our bills.”

Bowman has been assist-ing Bill Squire, spokesman for the Mohawk Workers, since July 2012.

Well known activist and Six Nations supporter Tom Keefer attended the rally, but declined to give a state-ment. When newcomers to the event showed up, he spoke to them about what was happening. “They're being totally obnoxious in-side. There's no spokesper-son ... it's really ridiculous.”

One of the protesters had called one of the Brantford Councillors from outside City Hall, asking for a rep-resentative to come speak to them. The request was de-clined.

Reporters were allowed inside City Hall by guards prior to the flash protest, but the doors were locked to everyone once the protest began. One of the protest-ers had walked around the building and said there were guards posted at every en-trance.

Frustrated by the cold shoulder given to them, but calm and peaceful, the pro-testers wrapped up their protest with a round dance in front of the doors to City Hall.

Protests were held across Canada Monday for the global day of action includ-ing Ottawa, Toronto, Ham-ilton, Kelowna, Victoria, Edmonton and many other Canadian cities. There were also dozens of solidarity protests held in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Greenland.

A small group of people showed up for a Flash Mob and Round Dance held in front of Brantford’s City Hall Monday night. The protest was part of the January 28 global day of action called by Idle No More organizers. The protesters were disappointed when there were refused entry to the Brantford City Council meeting being held at the same time. (Photo-graph by Stephanie Dearing).

The photograph that ran with last week's story on the trial of Six Nations Police Officers White and Bomberry, depicting a person said to be Inspector Montour was incorrect. The photograph is actually of OPP Detective Sargeant Devolder, who was on his way in to Superior Court for the trial of the Six Na-tions Police officers.

CORRECTION


By Stephanie DearingOHSWEKEN

A women's project aimed at identifying barriers to employment for Six Nations women launched Saturday with an event called 'Lifting Our Spirits – Discover-ing Your Potential.'

“You all have poten-tial,” said Sara Monture, Chair of the Grand River Employment and Train-ing's Board of Gover-nors, as she welcomed participants. “Hopefully today you will start your journey towards fulfilling your potential.”

Called Six Nations Women of the Grand Riv-er, the project is geared towards identifying barri-ers to employment faced by Six Nations women and creating a plan to ad-dress those barriers. The project was created and is administered by Grant River Employment and Training (GREAT).

Saturday's event was a conference, offering six hours of informa-tion sessions with some cultural aspects, such as a fashion show and on-going Women's Circles. Topics addressed in the information sessions in-cluded self-employment, employment, the Skills Partnership Fund, writ-ing resumes, and welfare.

Interested participants were offered the oppor-tunity to take advantage of a wellness session hosted by Gail Whit-low, owner of Ancestral Voices. Whitlow brought with her practitioners of Indian and Shiatsu mas-sages, relexology, ionic footbath and the draw that interested many of the ladies, a session with a life path specialist.

Conference goers were offered information from community organizations and other agencies, such as Brock University, the Canadian Armed Forces and the Amos Key Jr. Learning Institute.

A slew of guest speak-ers were brought in for the day, such as Six Nations elders Jan Kahehti:io Longboat and Ruby Jacobs. Well known Six Nations cho-reographer Santee Smith and actress Tina Louise

Bomberry were brought to speak to people during the event.

There are three surveys that project coordinator Barbara Miller is asking people to complete. All three are available online at sixnationswomen.com. Those who complete all three surveys will be eli-gible to win a $500 prize.

By Stephanie DearingBRANTFORD

The scene of what can only be called the savage beating of Ross Martin on January 10, 2010 was de-scribed by a defence lawyer for a Six Nations Police Of-ficer as akin to a scene from the movie, Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Sargent Tim Bomberry and Constable Marwood White were investigat-ing the assault of Martin when they entered a home at 2099 Second Line Road, said both lawyers, Joseph A. Neuberger who is act-ing for White and Lorne M. Honickman, acting for Bomberry.

Both, said Neuberger, “had reason to enter 2099 Second Line under exigent circumstances to prevent the destruction of evidence and to find suspects.” The officers “acted in good faith,” he told the jury when he presented his closing statement on Monday.

Last Wednesday the de-fence brought forward their one and only witness, Ronnie Lee Styres, who

shocked the courtroom when she said the com-plainant, Landon Curley, was an active participant in the assault of Ross Martin three years ago.

Bomberry and White are accused of having forcibly entered 2099 Second Line Road, forcible confinement of Curley, and assault of Curley. White allegedly tasered Curley twice.

Curley, said Neuberger in his closing statement, had been viewed as a threat by assisting OPP officers Tait and Lewis, who were sent to 2099 Second Line three years ago to backup White and Bomberry. Curley was giving active resistance, was combative and assaul-tive, “behaviour that could only be controlled with a taser.”

The Six Nations officers “believed it was impracti-cal to obtain a warrant,” for the address, Neuberg-er said. He noted that po-lice are human beings and are vulnerable. They were “profoundly disturbed by the injuries sustained by Ross Martin,” he said.

Both defence law-

yers offered similar clos-ing statements to the jury. Neuberger attempted to anticipate the argument the Crown Attorney would of-fer, saying 2099 was not the quiet and peaceful place Hill said it was. He de-scribed “a pizza-sized pool of blood ... a trail of blood ... broken glass ... blood on what was later determined was Landon Curley's car ... a trail of blood that led ei-ther in or out of the house.”

Not only did the officers have justification to enter the house, said Neuberger, “Only a few hours earlier, the house was a macabre scene like out of the Tex-as Chainsaw Massacre,” where Ross Martin was kicked, punched, jumped on, hit with bottles and fi-nally stabbed in the eye with a broken beer bottle by Kelly Clause, who is said to have twisted the bottle as she stabbed Martin.

“That was the scene at 2099. It was not a quiet sleeping house,” said Neu-berger. “That house was the scene of a frenzied, alco-hol-fuelled beating” mere hours before the police ar-

rived at the residence.Honickman suggested

Curley had an ulterior mo-tive for his formal com-plaints against White and Bomberry, pointing out that Curley and his then girlfriend who was sleep-ing in the same bedroom at the time the police entered 2099 Second Line did not provide the same version of events.

Honickman suggested Curley was motivated by the $400,000 civil law suit Curley has launched against the two officers. “The out-come of this case is crucial to his lawsuit,” said Hon-ickman.

Neuberger said exigent circumstances include the preservation of evidence, but Crown Attorney Tim Hill disagreed.

Hill told the jury when the officers arrived at 2099 on January 10, 2010, they found strong evidence indi-cating the crime scene was outside of the house, not in-side. Bomberry and White

had made up their minds to enter the residence before they had even arrived, he said.

Curley was sleeping when the police first en-tered the house by “kick-ing in the door,” said Hill. When Curley was tasered twice by White, he was al-ready handcuffed, the pros-ecutor asserted. Curley was demanding to know what he did to breach the law and should not have been ar-rested for those demands, no matter how vociferous he was at the time.

The officers did not have exigent circumstances, said Hill, because “they knew very little before they rash-ly entered that home, and the little they knew was not justification.” Hill main-tained the police know very well that in order to obtain a search warrant from a Jus-tice of the Peace, they must provide an address (place), say what articles of evi-dence they are searching for and the location to be

searched, and the grounds for their belief and the of-fence.

Hill said Bomberry and White were acting on hunches, and argued “after the fact information can-not justify” their entry into 2099 Second Line.

He said Styres was a liar and not to be believed, and stressed, “the ends can nev-er justify the means.” De-spite the fact that three of the four people who were found at 2099 Second Line on January 10 were later convicted of having as-saulted Ross Martin, that did not justify what White and Bomberry did, said Hill.

Justice Arrell was to charge the jury on Tuesday, and the twelve members of the jury will be sequestered until they make a decision about the guilt or innocence of White and Bomberry.

Under the law, Bomber-ry and White are presumed innocent until proven oth-erwise.

The Grand River Con-servation Authority is encouraging parents to keep children and pets away from watercours-es. The warm weather which has developed is bringing with it rain, which authorities say will raise water levels.

Melting snow and ice are expected to contrib-ute to the rise of water levels in the Grand River watershed, and the flow of water will increase as well. The Grand River Conservation Author-ity also said there is a chance that ice jams on rivers and streams could cause localized flooding.

Temperatures are ex-pected to remain above freezing well into Wednesday, which cu-mulative rainfall during the warm spell could exceed 40 mm, said the Authority. A return to winter-like weather is expected Thursday.

The Spirit of Communi-ty: People and Neighbour-hoods” exhibit now showing at the Woodland Cultural Centre is an experience for all ages.

To the elders it is a nostal-gic trip down memory lane. To the young it’s a glimpse into the heritage that is the Six Nations community. But either way, it is worth seeing and being a part of.

The show is a collection of old photographs depict-ing days gone by and people now long gone to the spirit world.

It is “exploring the heart of Six Nations,” as the ad-vertising pamphlet says, but it is not a politically polariz-ing event either, and that is more by design than omis-sion.

“We didn’t want to be making any kind of politi-cal statements at all with this show,” says Museum Direc-tor Paula Whitlow. “It’s all just about our community and our people not about our politics.”

Old photographs depicting day to day life at Six Nations

have been carefully selected from the vast photo achieves at the Centre are tastefully displayed along with con-temporary photographs as captured by photo artists, Anthony Henhawk Jr., Pa-tricia Hess, Brenda Mitten and Shelly Niro. There is also a very interesting col-lection of Six Nations arti-fact on display including a chair from the Old Council House, a baby carriage from the Pauline Johnson collec-tion and other surprises.

“There is an interactive el-ement to the show as well,” says museum assistant and researcher Daniel VanEvery.

“A large aerial photograph of the Six Nations reserve #40 is on the wall and vis-itors are invited to identify locations around the com-munity that carry with them specific memories,” VanEv-ery explains. “There is a note book close by and a contain-er full of numbered stick pins and visitors are invited to place a numbered stick pin on the map and record in the book the memory that is at-tacked to that location.”

This is not only a part of the exhibit that one can inter-act with, it is also an impor-

tant collection of memories, places and names achieved for future generations, Whit-low and VanEvery explain.

After the show, the book and map will be kept and cata-logued for future genera-tions.

So far since the show opened, the response to this part of the show especially has been great, according to

Whitlow and VanEvery.The show began January

21, and will run until March 31.

Gary McHale gets Queen’s Jubilee medalIt would appear that the earth has reversed polarity, the lunatics have taken over

the asylum, and the entire monarchy has collectively gone insane all at the same time.

That is the only possible explanation for Caledonia agitator Gary McHale to receive a medal for anything let alone the Queen Elizabeth ll Diamond Jubilee Medallion.

Somehow, the Federation of Canadian Taxpayers, an organization headed up al-most exclusively by stalwart Reform and Conservative Party members, nominated this guy as a worthy recipient.

He will be among 60,000 citizens and permanent residents of Canada deemed to have made “a significant contribution to their fellow countrymen, their commu-nity, or to Canada over the previous sixty years,” according to the selection com-mittee’s criteria.

We assume that when Maud Barlow, world renowned water protection advocate, documentary film maker and founding member of the Council of Canadians, re-fused hers last week in protest over Harper’s bill C-45, the committee was a little too anxious to find someone else to give it to.

That pretty well cheapens any possible value of this notorious distinction. But we congratulate Mr. McHale anyhow, for his expert manipulation of the facts to be even considered for this award.

I am sure the fine citizens of Caledonia and Binbrook will be very proud to have a man of such distinction in their midst.

After all, look at the many significant advances he has made to the country, and the community over the past six years.

If this is the best that committee can do, a plastic Scooby-Doo ring found at the bottom of a of a pink candied popcorn box would be more impressive.

But seriously. Even if we were McHale fans, we’d have to scratch our heads over this one.

The NHL is back but who cares?And while we are on the subject of bad ideas, now that the NHL is back on the ice

after a half season of wrangling over money and percentages, from the three games we’ve seen so far, the calibre of the game at this point if no better than watching training camp for booth the players and the referees.

Some of the dumbest calls we have ever seen have become the new normal in the NHL. Like the rule about covering the puck with your hand. In the past that has been interpreted as meaning, hand passes, closing your hand on the puck, or reaching out to bring the puck into your body to force a face off. That we understand. Now, even if you happen to fall on the puck and the ref can no longer see it - boom, two minutes in the penalty box, especially if it happens in the face-off circle.

In a game and a time when the league should be trying to speed things up and win back it’s audience, dumb rules like this are certainly counter to that message.

The instigator rule never made sense in the first place. Every fight has an instigator right? For instance, someone runs into a goalie and he is immediately jumped on by usually a big defenseman whether the collision was accidental or on purpose. So who was the instigator? The guy who ran into the goalie, or the brute who jumped him?

Quite honestly, we were far more entertained watching Six Nations Minor Hockey this year than any of the NHL games we have seen so far this season.

UNDER THE NORTHERN SKY

The Dream Catcher by Xavier Kataquapit www.underthenorthernsky.com

I had a dream the other night. I was a little boy again. There I was, on the land back up on the James Bay coast. I could see the clear water of the Attawapiskat River below and the deep blue sky above with the burning yellow sun as white clouds sailed by. Then I lifted off the ground and flew south with the Niska, a flock of Canada geese. I could see the rivers and thousands of the lakes below me as I soared over the mushkeg and dense pine forests. As I flew it seemed that I was being transported through time and into the future. I recalled grow-ing up in my community with my family and friends. I remembered travelling on the land in our huge freighter canoes during spring, summer and fall. I recalled the many snowmobile trips on the endless white expanse of ice on James Bay. There were sad visions of distressed neighbours, hopeless teens, destroyed lives, destitute realities everywhere.

Suddenly, I was lost in a blizzard swirling around me. I was still flying but I had no idea where I was, whether I was going up or down, or left, or right. I had to give myself over to the elements and to Mother Earth.

Then again, suddenly I had landed in a northern city. Here I recalled my first visits out of my tiny remote community to the so called civilized south. I remembered so many of the good people I met on my way through high school in Timmins and North Bay at a time when I felt oppressed and confused. Then I was up again and flying further south. As I flew I felt myself ageing and all of my experiences rushed by me in a stream.

I noticed the sky darken as though a heavy force had come onto the land. I saw people going off to war in far away lands. I saw smoke and oil rushing into the skies, the water and the earth. There were people in the streets raising their voices but being beaten back. The animals and birds were weak and falling away.

As I soared over the cities and towns all across our vast country of Canada, I saw people crying as the land was torn up. There was money and gold flowing down the streets and high-ways and pushing people aside and suffocating Mother Earth.

I found myself in the corridor of a huge government building. I yelled out but my voice was so faint in this vast place. There were pictures of our history on the walls but most of the doors were shut. I could hear people making plans but I saw thousands on the outside with no voice. I felt helpless. I thought of all those times in history where so the few of the ruling class had decided that the only true religion had to do with money and power. Sadly I realized the time had come again for the high priests of money.

The faces of brave women and men who stood up for freedom and fairness in world his-tory rushed by. Everything went dark and a familiar sensation came over me and I realized I was back in a recurring dream. This was a dream I had as a boy where I was trapped in a dark place where I could see no light nor hear no sound. The darkness pressed up against me and I felt the world closing in on me. To break free now, I flew out of this grand building of stone and mortar. I flew as far as I could up into the sky towards the stars. All I wanted to do was get away from this place and all the pain I could see as the high priests of money shouted out their orders. Their shouts emanated from silver tongues recanting the promises made over so many years.

As I hurtled through the dark, I noticed a light back on the land. I rushed through the air to the glow of a dim flame. As I neared I could see it was a camp fire and it drew me back to an island on a river. I approached a strong fire and I walked right up close to it’s heart and knelt before it. Then a peace came over me and I was happy, relieved and comforted by the smiling face of Chief Theresa Spence. She sat in the glow of the grandfather stones and basked in the hopeful smoke as good spirits lifted her voice far and wide over the land.

OTTAWA _ Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence left her hospital bed on Thursday to sign the 13-point treaty rights declaration that ended her six-week hunger protest.

A chanting, drumming crowd greeted her at a down-town hotel after she left the hospital where she had been kept overnight for observa-tion.

She thanked family, friends and supporters for

their backing during the six chilly weeks she spent on Victoria Island, just upstream from Parliament Hill.

She suggested she'll now step back from the political struggle and let other chiefs take over.

``There you go, chiefs, you take over and I'll be part of the audience some times, so I'll be watching you guys,'' she said.

Spence also declared the

need for unity among First Nations leaders.

`Ìt's time to really stay to-gether no matter what hard-ship that we go through, and no matter what the govern-ment intends to do to us to divide us,'' Spence said.

`Àlways remember that we're here together and we're here for our people, especial-ly the youth.''

Earlier, spokesman Danny Metatawabin praised Spence for pushing First Nations is-sues to the top of the nation-al political agenda, and for taking a stand on behalf of all indigenous people, dem-onstrating they can and will persevere.

``We will not be forgot-ten,'' Metatawabin said dur-ing a news conference in Ottawa. ``We will not be put behind.''

The end came as other chiefs and federal opposition

parties vowed to take up her cause of treaty implementa-tion and improved conditions on reserves. And it followed careful negotiation by inter-im Liberal leader Bob Rae.

Rae said he was concerned some days ago that there was a risk of the whole ef-fort ``going off the rails'' if Spence didn't call a stop to her protest.

He said he told Spence: `Ìt's everyone's struggle. But no one should die.''

The chiefs and the poli-ticians signed the 13-point declaration committing them to seeking immediate im-provements to native hous-ing and education; a meeting of First Nations chiefs, the prime minister and Governor General; and full implemen-tation of treaty and aborigi-nal rights within five years.

``We agree the self-sacri-fice and the spiritual cour-

age of Chief Theresa Spence, along with Elder Raymond Robinson and all other fast-ers ... have made clear the need for fundamental change in the relationship of First Nations and the Crown,'' the declaration states.

``We fully commit to carry forward the urgent and co-or-dinated action required until concrete and tangible results are achieved in order to al-low First Nations to forge their own destiny,'' says the preamble to the declaration.

The protest commanded the attention of Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper, his ministers and top officials. It also polarized public opin-ion in Canada and around the world, revealing a stark di-vision between people who want to see more help for First Nations and those who believe they already get too much.

The protest also exacer-bated a schism within the Assembly of First Nations _ with many chiefs question-ing the leadership of Nation-al Chief Shawn Atleo _ and touched off a round of public soul-searching about what it takes to bring success to ab-original people in Canada.

Atleo, meanwhile, was back on the job Thursday at an event in Vancouver after a 10-day sick leave ordered to bed by his doctor after the AFN political crisis slowed his recovery from flu.

`Òur shared goal is simple and clear: to guarantee that our children can achieve the brighter future that they de-serve,'' Atleo said in a state-ment Wednesday.

``This is what every chief across this country, every member of the Assembly of First Nations, will continue to fight to achieve.''

THE STUDY

Phase 1 of this Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study was initiated by MTO in support of the transportation objectives of the provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The study is being undertaken in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act) and the Terms of Reference, which was approved by the Minister of the Environment in June 2006.

In March 2011, MTO released a draft Transportation Development Strategy (Strategy) that outlined several recommendations including support for enhanced transit, measures to optimize the existing transportation network, additional lanes on existing highways and new highways. Since the release of the draft Strategy, the Study Team carried out additional analysis of the previous recommendations for highway expansion and new highways. The analysis, findings and recommendations will be provided at the upcoming PICs for review and discussion.

Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence leaves hospital after ending hunger protest

VANCOUVERCP

A 23-year-old woman has been sentenced to four months house arrest and 80 hours of community ser-vice for her part in the Stanley Cup Riot in Vancou-ver.

Natalee Dennis is the first Aboriginal person to be sentenced for such a crime since a landmark case in 1999 that determined the courts must consider all reasonable alternatives to jail time for First Nations offenders.

The court heard that Dennis had started drinking in Tofino the day of the riot in June of 2011 and continued on her way to Vancouver, and was drunk when she was seen helping damage cars during the violence.

The judge says since then, Dennis has been work-ing on improving herself by enrolling in an alcohol treatment program and has written apologies to both the mayor of Vancouver and Vancouver's police chief.

Her defence lawyer, Jason Tarnow, says Dennis is remorseful and the judge did a careful analysis of her personal circumstances and the circumstances of her actions.

Dennis, who has no previous criminal record, says she no longer drinks and plans to become a para-medic.

Stanley Cup Riot


By Jim WindleNEW CREDIT

An estimated 250 men, women and children partici-pated in Thursday’s Idle no More demonstration march from the Hagersville Farm-ers Market to the New Credit Industrial complex on First Line Road, slowing traffic along highway #6 for about an hour.

Marchers mustered in a warm warehouse at the In-dustrial Complex where cof-fee, donuts and signs were distributed, along with some words of encouragement and last minute rules of the march.

The march was organized and led by Mississauga of the New Credit Council Chief Bryan Laforme and mem-bers of his Council who act-ing as march marshals along the route.

Also marching with New

Credit members and sup-porters from Six Nations and a few non-Native allies, was Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians (AIAI) Grand Chief Gord Peters of the Del-aware Nation, Moravian of the Thames.

Peters is a veteran leader and former Ontario Regional Vice-Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, President and CEO of the Centre for Indigenous Sovereignty, and has work for First Nation communities for over thirty years.

He gave an update on the controversial bill C-45 and others legislations that have spawned the Idle no More Movement and why he feels these bills need to be stopped.

Several area municipal mayors were invited to march in solidarity with New Credit, as well as Six Nations Elect-ed Chief Bill Montour and his

council. But aside from Chief Peters, no other dignitaries re-sponded to the invitation.

A message, with regrets, from Chief Stan Beardy was read aloud by Chief Lafor-me. Chief Beardy, Ontario Regional Chief of the Chiefs of Ontario had intended to come, but was called away to a special meeting regard-ing the end of Attawapis-kat Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike after 42 days of feeding only on water and fish broth. A celebration was staged in her honour for po-larizing Onkwehon:eh people participating in the Idle no More movement, which has spread throughout Canada, the USA, Europe, New Zea-land and even Hawaii.

“My message to your mem-bers and supporters would be that this generation has a huge responsibility to save the planet and mankind,” read

Laforme from Beardy’s letter. “We must educate ourselves and our non-Native brothers and sisters to the dangers of bill C-45, which is greed. We are spiritual people — two pillars — our special rela-tionship to the Creator and our special relationship to the land, have guided us and protected us for centuries and

centuries. These same two pillars are what the prophecy is referring to. Leaders like yourself and your communi-ty ... will make a difference in the end.”

Through Chief Laforme, Beardy then thanked the peo-ple of New Credit and their supporters for the important contribution they are making

to the cause.A last washroom break and

refill of hot coffee, and the marchers made their way onto two awaiting busses which transported them to the start-ing point at the Hagersville Farmers Market.

There they met up with others in cars and vans who

Warm hearts made a cold march from Hagersville to New Credit a big success. The march was part of the still growing Idle no More Movement which has spread across Canada, the USA, Europe New Zealand and even Hawaii. (Photo by Jim Windle)

A steady stream of Six Nations members trickled in to the old Council House on Fourth Line in downtown Ohsweken Saturday, picking up information about the Idle No More movement and how to write a will. Organizers Barbara Henry and Nicole Lacouture (assisted on Saturday by Davyn, seated) had announced the information event at Six Nations Elected Council on January 22, and were pleased with the steady flow of inter-est. They provided people with printed copies of information about various pieces of legislation affecting First Nations people, and also played a video recording for those who had time.

formed a motorcade which followed the marchers back to New Credit. One of the busses, filled with those who were physically unable to march the distance, followed in the procession as well.

The march was lead by the Mississauga of the New Cred-it sacred staff and a banner, followed by Chief’s Laforme and Peters with the rest falling in behind.

Amongst the marchers who braved the extreme cold where many New Credit youth who had a very strong presence in the organization and the participation of the event.

There were no incidents as OPP cruisers and liaison of-ficers preceded and followed the procession for the safety of both marchers and motor-ists. Once on the road, north-

bound traffic on the highway was stopped as the marchers stayed to the right lane allow-ing southbound traffic to pro-ceed with caution.

The marshals carried gar-bage bags to prevent litter along the route and everyone cooperated fully.

It was a very cold day but the atmosphere during the march was warm and spirited.

In an unscripted move, the

marchers performed a spon-taneous Round Dance at the intersection of Highway #6 and First Line Road which OPP stopped traffic for in both directions for about 10-15 minutes.

Once back in the warmth of the Industrial Complex, Chief Laforme thanked ev-eryone who helped make the march a success.

“On behalf of Chief and Council, I want to thank you for coming out and helping us show how we feel about this bill,” said Laforme.

New Credit Councillor Cec Sault was also very pleased with the turnout.

“It was an excellent turn-out from the community,” said Sault. “I think we got the message across and I think it is going to be positive. We are putting it out there like other First Nations about our con-cerns, and hey, we are Idle no More.”

There were a few parting words from Grand Chief Pe-ters as well.

“It was a pleasure to walk with you today,” he said. “To the youth, fantastic job. We need to get into the schools and talk to the people in the schools and talk with the ed-

ucators (and let them know) that we also like to be free on our lands. We’d like to have equitable education and good housing and jobs for our fam-ilies. We want all those same things that they experience out there (non-Natives Cana-dians). We want to bring back our right to govern ourselves and our families in our com-munities.”

Once again, he thanked the community for inviting him to march with them on the coldest day of the year so far.

“My water froze while we were walking,” Peters said with a laugh.

The pre-drawn and assem-bled placards were gathered up at the end of the march for possible future demon-strations.

The positive side of last week’s cold snap was the official opening of New Credit’s new outdoor ice rink located near Lloyd S King school just outside the new community hall still under construction.

Members of the New Credit Recreation Com-mittee, Chief Bryan Lafor-me and a few of his council were on hand Saturday at around 2 pm to officially open the rink to the public.

A number of young New Credit skaters enjoyed the crisp outdoors air, carving up the ice bundled in scarfs and mittens.

“The recreation commit-

tee has been hoping for the cold weather so we could have a little grand open-ing and let the communi-ty know it’s available to them,” said Laforme. “It’s open to anyone who wants to come out and lace on a pair of blades ... oh, and a helmet.”

Wearing a helmet for safety reasons is required.

The committee has also been involved in the build-ing of a volleyball court which has been well re-ceived and used often in the warmer weather.

Laforme was quick to recognized the hard and dedicated work of the com-mittee which consists of a few elected councillors and members of the com-

munity.He also thanked Kevin

Wilson of Wilson Water Haulage of Six Nations for the donation of water for the initial flooding.

The maintenance of the rink will be handled by members of the commit-tee who will also monitor the site to ensure it is well kept.

Members of the com-mittee include Kerri King, Arlin Laforme, Fred King, Shannon King, Evan Sault, Kate Laforme, Rob Hill, and Burl Laforme.

A barbecue was cooking up hamburgers and hot-dogs for the skaters and watchers to help raise some funds for the committee to work with as well.

The reigning Creators Cup champions, the Ohsweken Demons started off on the right foot against the Barrie Blizzard in professional Ca-nadian Lacrosse League ac-tion at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena Saturday afternoon, but ended off hanging on by their teeth to a 13-12 win by the time the game was over.

It was the Blizzard’s inau-gural game in the CLax and they surprised a lot of people against the league’s power-house Demons, but not Del-by Powless.

“I wasn’t really surprised,” he said after the game. “There is a lot of parody in this league and remember that although this is a team that wasn’t in ex-istence last year but they have a lot of guys that played in this league last year and they picked up some new guys in the expansion draft, so it’s re-ally nothing new to them, and it’s kind of what we expected today — a good young team with a good coach.”

Powless admitted to his team’s battling a bit of fatigue after losing a hard played 15-14 overtime heartbreaker in Brampton the night before the 1 pm afternooner with the Blizzard.

“Both games this weekend were close intense games,” said Powless. “Last night we just ran out of legs but we

were able to hang on for this one.”

Powless along with team-mates Roger Vyse and Wayne VanEvery occupy the top three spots in the CLax scor-ing leaders boards and Satur-day proved why.

Vyse scored two and assist-ed on five for a seven point game, while Powless scored three and assisted of three for six points. VanEvery chipped in three goals and two assists for a five pointer.

Jeff Powless was busy in the Demons’ goal facing 71 Blizzard shots.

Ohsweken’s Kenny Aaron made it 1-0 from Powless and Chris Courtney at 3:13 of the first quarter, but Caleb Wiles got that one back at 4:24.

The Vyse brothers took over for the rest of the quarter with Roger handing the De-mons the lead at 5:03 which was added to by brother Dan-ny at 14:49. Roger ended the period 4-1 with one second remaining in the quarter.

Barrie regrouped in the sec-ond quarter quickly got back into the game with goals by Mike Teeter and Wiles at 54 seconds and 1:34 respective-ly.

VanEvery and Powless re-stored the cushion with pow-erplay markers to make it 6-3 for the Demons to that point. But Barrie bounced back with the next three to end the half tied at 6-6.

Stu Hill connected for

Ohsweken 58 seconds into the third quarter on a powerplay assisted by Powless and Cory Bomberry before Teeter tied it again at 7-7 at 1:34.

VanEvery accounted for the next two goals but once again, Barrie answered with two of their own.

Joe Haodais Maracle scored the last goal of the third quarter scored at 13:51 from Roger Vyse for the go ahead 10-9 goal to end the quarter.

Courtney delivered from the edge of the crease on an Aaron and VanEvery set up

which Delby Powless fol-lowed up on from Roger Vyse and VanEvery.

Barrie’s Rob Milnes made it 12-10 at 4:17. Powless scored his third of the game from Maracle for what proved to be the game winner.

Fans were biting their nails

as the game clock ran down and the Blizzard charged with 10 minutes left in the game.

With Cory Bomberry in the penalty box for interference, Barrie’s Nick Trillo brought his team one goal closer. When Caleb Wiles drew with-

in one goal with 3:30 remain-ing and had the momentum going, the Demons dug deep defensively and held the Bliz-zard off, thanks in no small part to Jeff Powless in the De-mon’s goal.

They were not so fortunate in Brampton the night before.

The Demons took a 4-1 lead in the first quarter as well on goals scored by VanEvery Kyle Isaacs, Delby Powless, and Cory Bomberry.

The Inferno reduced the deficit by one by the half scor-ing four to Ohsweken’s three second quarter goals. Demon goals came from VanEvery, Roger Vyse, who scored on a penalty shot, and Joe Haodais Maracle.

It was 7-5 for Ohsweken heading into the second half. Each team scored five times in the third quarter leaving a two goal edge in favour of the Demons.

That was squandered in the forth quarter as the Demons began to fade. Brampton’s Dustin Caravello sent the game into overtime at 12:56 with a powerplay goal with Kenny Aaron off for slashing.

It didn’t take long to decide a winner. At 22 seconds of the OT period, Brampton’s John McClure scored the game winner, again of a power-play this time with VanEvery serving the remainder of a left over holding call from late in the fourth quarter.

With the Demons first

loss of the season, they still remain in first place with 6 points however they have also played two more games than second place Niagara, with 4 points, third place Dur-ham and fourth place Toron-to Shooting Stars both with 2 points.

The Demons are at home to the Niagara Lock Monsters at 8 pm Friday night Feb. 1, at the ILA before their first vis-it to Maple Leaf Gardens on Monday night, Feb. 4, to face the Toronto Sooting Stars.

The Iroquois Ironmen had the weekend off but get back into action this coming Sun-day Feb. 3 looking for their first win of the early cam-paign when the Durham Turf-dogs visit Six Nations.

The Cambridge Winter-hawks failed to gain any ground on the Caledonia Corvairs this week as the Corvairs took a 6-3 decision over the W-hawks Thursday night at the Caledonia Arena.

The Corvairs scored the first goal of the game when Spencer Gourlay made good on a set up from Marc Sil-vestri and Connor Murphy at 1:29.

Cambridge answered at 2:12 but Murphy and Leon-ard Dziemianko closed out the period for the Corvairs to put them ahead 3-1 after 20 minutes of play. Assists went to Gourlay, Jeff Swift, Matt Quilty and Adam Brady.

The Corvairs kept the momentum going in the second as Swift cashed in on a powerplay assisted by Gourlay and Brandon Mon-tour. Quilty made it 5-1 from

Tyler Norrie and Montour, but Cambridge closed that gap by one at 18:51.

At 2:53 of the third, Max-ime Lamontagne brought the Winterhawks to 5-3, but would prove to be all there was left in the tank for the visitors as Quilty nailed the game shut at 6-3 from Swift and Adam Brady.

After a light week last week, this coming weekend the Corvairs will see three games in three days.

Caledonia are back in ac-tion Friday, Feb. 1, at 7:20 p.m. when the Guelph Hur-ricanes come to Caledonia. Guelph is in last place in the nine team division with eight wins on the season so far.

Saturday, Jan 2, they are in Cambridge to duel with the Winterhawks again in a 7 p.m. start.

Then on Sunday after-noon at 1:30, they will roll into Waterloo to take on the Siskins.

SIX NATIONS

The five-time and current back-to-back Founders Cup champion, Six Nations Rebels are pleased to announce Mur-ray Porter has been promoted to Head Coach for the 2013 OLA Jr B Lacrosse Year.

Porter, 27 year-old, be-comes the 10th Head Coach in the Rebels 18-year history.

“I’m excited about the op-portunity.” Porter said upon accepting the Head Coaching position. “We have a chance to defend the back-to-back championships. This is a great honour to be part of the Rebels franchise.”

Porter has been with the Rebels coaching staff since 2010 as a defensive special-ist under the tutelage of Reb-els All-time winning Head coach, Stew Monture (2010 and 2012) and Ron Chatelain in 2011 when the Rebels won

the Founders Cup in Saska-toon, Saskatchewan.

The Six Nations Intertown Bantams provided a lot of high calibre excitement at the Gaylord Powless Arena Sat-urday afternoon with a dra-matic 5-4 win over Ingersol #2 in Minor hockey action.

Six Nations’ Owen Hill was the star of the game scoring three of the Bantam’s

goals including the game winner scored with just five seconds remaining.

Six Nations jumped into an early 2-0 lead in the first peri-od with an unassisted goal by Owen Hill and a breakaway goal by Nick Martin assisted by Tyler Brown and Tyden Hill. The puck was tipped into the neutral zone where Hill picked it up and went in alone on Seth Deakin in the

Ingersol goal, scoring with a well placed shot just inside the glove side post.

At 3:23 of the second peri-od, Hill recorded his second of the game by being the trig-german on a pass from be-hind the Ingersol icing line by Nick Martin, which Hill one-timed in for the 3-0 goal.

Ingersol would not quit and turned the tables on Six Nations, scoring the next

two goals. They almost tied the game at 3-3 late in the period when an Ingersol shot trickled through Luke Hill who started in goal for Six Nations. Just as it was slowing sliding towards the empty goal behind him, Ce-aton Smoke reached in and scooped the puck to safety before it crossed the line to save the sure goal.

Ingersol did eventually tie the game at 3-3 at 1:50 into the final frame with Dakota Lednicky’s second of the game. But Brown gave Six

Nations the lead back at 2:51 only a few seconds into a Six Nations powerplay.

Lednickey tied it up again at 4-4 with his third of the game. Starter Luke Hill was run over by Lednickey with 4:25 remaining and was giv-en a five minute charging major penalty plus a Game Misconduct, removing Inger-sol’s number one offensive threat. But the play also re-moved Hill who was injured on the play forcing Cody Summers to take over in the Six Nations goal. Summers

held his ground with some good saves as Six Nations began to take back the mo-mentum.

Ingersol lost not only it’s star player but it’s composure as well as Hayden Home-wood was caught for tripping with 57 seconds left, making his team short two men and Six Nations pressing.

Then with the last sec-onds counting down, Owen Hill found a loose puck at the edge of the crease and flipped it home for the game winner.

It was another Thursday night thriller at the GPA this week as the Bush Hockey sea-son gets down to the nitty grit-ty before playoffs.

The Spirits defeated the Sil-verhawks 6-3 Thursday night in Six Nations Men’s Hockey League action at the Gaylord Powless Arena. Both teams were short benched but made it into a good game nonetheless.

Sandy Porter carried the Spoilers with five of his team’s six goals.

It was close in the first pe-riod as each team scored once with Porter scoring for the spoilers from Ryan Hill and Jake Hill, and Derek Ander-son accounting for the Sil-

verhawks marker from Bob Henry and Dave Hill.

They remained tied after two periods with each team delivering a pair of goals in the middle frame. Dave Hill gave the Silverhawks the 2-1 lead which Porter erased for the Spoilers. Late in the pe-riod Roger Vyse restored the Silverhawks lead only to have Porter take it away again less than a minute later.

The chronically short benched Spoilers were used to being on the ice for pretty much the entire game, but the Silverhawks players were not and it showed in the third pe-riod.

Jake Hill made it 4-3 for the Spoilers and Porter added his fourth and fifth goals 20 sec-onds apart in the last minute

of play.In the other game of night,

the Smoothtown Bruins crushed the Spirits 7-1. Mitch Green led the Bruins charge with three goals while Cody Jamieson rang up four assists. The lone Spirits goal was scored by Brandon Hill.

With three regular season games left to play, the Silver-hawks remain in first place with 18 points while the Spoil-ers are two points behind with 16. The Smoothtown Bruins are third with a 6-5-1 record for 13 points while the Spirits languish in last with a single point.

In the playoffs, first place will face last and second will play third to determine who battles whom for the league final.

Six Nations Intertown Pee-Wee’s goalie Jason Hill’s bid for a shut out was ruined by Till-sonburg’s only goal of the game in the SN PeeWee’s 7-1 pound-ing of Tillsonburg Saturday af-ternoon at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

Mason Hill opened the flood-gates only 20 seconds into the game assisted by Andrew Hill. jackson Miller and Sam Rob-ertson made it 3-0 by the end of the first period with assists going to Kalani Thomas with two and

Robertson with one.Six Nations kept pilling it on

in the second period starting with Mason Hill’s second of the game scored 1:36 into the period. The assist went to Liam Aaron. Rob-ertson scored his second of the match 1:18 later with Conner Smith providing the assist.

Tillsonburg’s lone goal of the game came with exactly 2 min-utes left in the second period to make it 5-1. The goal didn’t stop Six Nations momentum at all as Aaron answered for Six Na-tions 18 seconds later with the 6-1 goal.

Andrew Hill scored the only

goal of the third period assist-ed by Dylan Hill to make it 7-1 which held up the rest of the

game as the Six Nations Pee-Wees kept Tillsonburg bottled up in their own end zone.

By Stephanie DearingROCHESTER, NY

A campaign to End Vio-lence in Six Nations got off the ground during a Roches-ter Knighthawks game on Sat-urday, January 26. A special public service announcement (PSA) created by Ganowaksra Family Assault Support Ser-vices was played during the game, as a result of a partner-ship worked out between the two.

Ganowaksra Executive Di-rector Sandra Montour was in the Blue Cross Arena in Roch-ester for the airing, as was her staff. “It was so exciting for us,” she said when reached by telephone Tuesday. Montour estimated “there were around 10,000 people there.”

“I think it went really well,” Montour said of the PSA de-but.

Montour said she and the staff who accompanied her to the game provided infor-mation about family vio-lence and what they do, and did some fund raising as well, selling purple ribbon car mag-nets for $5 apiece. The mag-nets say 'end violence in the community,' and are available

for sale here at Six Nations as well.

The commercial, which is about 80 seconds long, was made with the help of commu-nity members during the first Community Walk Against Violence, held in 2012. the PSA can be seen on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vuh1a94qef4.

“The walk targeted every-thing,” said Montour. “And that's what this campaign is about, is ending all forms of violence - whether it's family violence, whether it's violence against women, whether it's relationship violence, bully-ing, sexual assault, lateral vi-olence and just all forms of violence.”

Ganowaksra has been plac-ing an increasing emphasis on raising community awareness about violence, and the orga-nization is presently working on a campaign called 'I am a proud Haudenosaunee.'

While the partnership with the Knighthawks concluded with the airing of the PSA at Saturday's game, Montour hopes team members will re-main committed to participat-ing in the annual community walk. “It'll be September 28

this year,” she said. The last Saturday of September has been set aside as the day for the community walk.

One of the people featured in the PSA is Knighthawks player Alex Kedoh Hill. “He had a lot of very wise and good words to say,” said Montour.

“I think it's important to say too that violence is in every community, not just Six Na-tions,” said Montour. In the past Six Nations “hasn't been seen in a very good light in the media with different is-sues that arise,” she said.

That negative portrayal “has served to heighten the fear and misunderstanding from our neighbouring com-munities,” said Montour.

The campaign to end vio-lence in the community grew from the community walk held last September, said Montour. That event brought together men, women and children who converged on Veteran's Park in Ohsweken from four different directions. “The four directions is sym-bolic to our Haudenosaunee traditions,” she said. “Our Tree of Peace has four great white roots that extend to all

four directions of our Mother the Earth.”

“We're very thankful to the Rochester Knighthawks. They did so much for us as an organization and in support-ing this campaign to end vio-lence in our community,” said Montour.

“Lets work on stopping the violence in our community

and having a peaceful com-munity,” said Montour. “Let's try to make people aware that violence is not okay, and vio-lence is not our way as Haude-nosaunee people. We're a peaceful people. We buried our weapons under the Great Tree of Peace and we were told to be a peaceful people.”

Ganokwasra provides ser-

vices for anyone impacted by family violence, “and that in-cludes the men, the women, the children,” said Montour. “I believe we've all been im-pacted by our historical roots, by colonization and oppres-sion. So we're here as a com-munity agency to help people to deal with however they're impacted by family violence.”

Smoking policy in the works

A new smoking poli-cy almost had Six Nations Elected Councillors on fire as they discussed the policy and its implications.

“We need to step up to the plate to help our people,” said District Three Coun-cillor Ross Johnson. “We have to take a stand on this. We choose for them to not smoke around our buildings. It's a law.”

But Councillor Helen Miller (District Four) dis-agreed. “You either have smoking or you don't ... It doesn't make sense, you shouldn't even have desig-nated smoking areas and just say no smoking period.”

As discussion evolved, it was revealed by council the new policy they were reviewing stipulated that smokers would have to be 9 m away from doorways, un-less they went to an area des-ignated for smokers.

“If we're going to enforce this,” said District One Councillor Lewis Staats, “what's the penalty?”

“Death,” said Councillor Ross Johnson.

“I would like to move forward” with the policy said Councillor Darryl Hill (District Five). “I think my colleagues are reading too

much into 'designated.'”However, council voted

in favour of having the new policy go back to the Cor-porate and Emergency Ser-vices Committee for some tweaking.

Tekawennake is not al-lowed to see the new policy until it has been approved by Elected Council.

Public Education requestsSix Nations is asking for

funding from Aboriginal Af-fairs and Northern Develop-ment Canada through James Cutfeet for a comprehensive school evaluation.

The decision came at the recommendation of District Four Councillor Helen Mill-er. The Education Ad Hoc Committee had decided, she told council on January 22, they needed more infor-mation about “what we're working with, what we have and what we need” when it comes to a decision about taking over administration of the elementary schools.

“The data is old,” she said. “The committee would like more current data.”

The assessment, if the funding is provided, will look at both programming and the school structures themselves. District Three Councillor Roger Jonathan noted Six Nations “could use another school in Ohswek-en.”

Montour threw a wrinkle into the assessments by ask-ing if the ad hoc committee “suggested cafeterias in the schools,” which could be used for lunch and breakfast programs.

“We're looking at the sys-tem, not the specific pro-grams,” said Councillor Miller. “I'd like to see a mu-sic program.”

The motion directing Elected Chief Montour to write to Cutfeet to ask for the money for the assess-ment was passed by council.

In a separate decision, Elected Council voted in fa-

vour of writing James Cut-feet to request the release of EQAO results for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school years.

EQAO testing is done in grades 3, 6 and 9 and is “a snapshot,” said Claudine VanEvery-Albert, who was at council for the Languag-es Commission on January 22. The tests include read-ing, writing and math and re-sults “tell you if children are at the level they should be,” VanEvery-Albert explained.

Elected council will also ask Cutfeet to send some-body to make a presentation on the EQAO results.

(The Canadian Press)

The protesters are gone, but the fight for better living conditions among the coun-try's Aboriginal communities continues today in Ottawa.

New Democrat Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair criti-cized the Conservatives in the House of Commons for failing to close a 30-per-cent funding gap between First Nation schools and those in the general population.

But Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper was quick to point out what the NDP didn't, that the government has built 260 new schools in Aboriginal communities.

Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae also went on the

attack, reminding the To-ries that, since they came to power in 2006, the number of boil water advisories is-sued in First Nation commu-nities spiked by 23 per cent.

The opposition parties committed last week to use the Commons to highlight the plight of First Nations as part of an effort to convince Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence to end her six-week hunger protest.

While the street protests of yesterday and the last few weeks have subsided, the Idle No More move-ment is taking its message abroad, with activists doing interviews on international TV news networks, includ-ing Al Jazeera.

Opposition leaders put pressure on Harper

NationTalkVANCOUVER – The BC

Treaty Commission and the New Relationship Trust, working with the Institute on Governance, will host a two-day symposium on Feb-ruary 19 and 20 at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Van-couver. This event will bring together Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders to talk

about the success and chal-lenges of making social and economic progress in First Nations communities.

The anniversary of Sec-tion 35 and the Idle No More movement create the oppor-tunity to explore the recogni-tion of Aboriginal and treaty rights. The resulting dialogue urges us to consider the im-pacts on federal and provin-

cial law/policy that affects Indigenous Peoples and gov-ernance in Canadian society.

The symposium aims to provide stakeholders with a more holistic view of the successes and challenges in governance. By convening experts, this event will facili-tate the momentum necessary to move beyond litigation and affect change.

We are pleased to an-nounce that former Supreme Court Justice, The Honour-able Justice Mr. Ian Bin-nie, will deliver the keynote speech. Other speakers in-clude:

Jody Wilson-Raybould, Regional Chief, BC Assem-bly of First Nations;

Ed John, Grand Chief Tl’azt’en Nation/ Executive,

First Nations Summit;Cliff Atleo, President,

Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Coun-cil;

Beyond Section 35 symposium to bring together leaders in governance


NationTalk

Little Buffalo, ABIn solidarity with the in-

ternational day of action by Idle No More today, the Government and citizens of the Lubicon Lake Nation intend to take their protest to Alberta Highway 986, the main highway and oil and gas artery running out of their lands. As with pre-vious Lubicon actions, this demonstration of sovereign-ty and exercise of jurisdic-tion is peaceful in nature and should not be misconstrued as a “blockade”. Rather Lu-bicon protestors will dem-onstrate at roadside to bring attention to widespread ac-tions by the Conservative Government and Aborigi-nal Affairs (AAND-C) to interfere with Lubicon gov-ernance and deny them the legal opportunity to settle

their long overdue Land Rights Settlement with the Crown as required by the Constitution.

“Harper might have apolo-gized for residential schools, but its clear to us that the only thing he is sorry about is that we weren’t wiped out completely” said Councillor Bryan Laboucan of the dem-onstration. “The ongoing interference with our gover-nance structures and assim-ilation tactics are cultural genocide, in fact the United Nations have cited the Gov-ernment of Canada repeat-edly for these human rights abuses against our people.”

According to the Canadi-an Constitution, the Govern-ment of Canada is required to enter into Treaty with any First Nation, it is only after Treaty that a First Na-tion falls under Federal ju-risdiction and Section 91 of

the Constitution. The lack of jurisdiction has not stopped the Government of Cana-da from negatively interfer-ing in Lubicon governance. In 2010, AAND-C cut off all funding to the Lubicon Lake Nation and redirected it to an outside firm for ad-ministration citing an “in-ternal leadership dispute” as the justification. Officials from Canada at that time advised the Nation must re-

solve that dispute internally before funding would be re-stored.

In June 2011, Lubicon of-ficials and all parties to the “internal leadership dispute” advised AAND-C that a res-olution had been reached in accordance with Lubicon custom. Canada continues to refuse to recognize that resolution, and through a “facilitator” are attempting to continue to create divi-

sion within the Nation. A report uncovered by Lubi-con officials indicates that the AAND-C “facilitator” is attempting to manufac-ture a further dispute using a small group of disgruntled people, many of whom are employed by the same firm who was awarded the con-tract to administer Lubicon funds.

Chief Bernard Ominayak said of the demonstrations

“We’re not here to issue threats to anybody, but there is a clear and resounding call by the Lubicon people for change in the way the Government of Canada is dealing with this issue. If that change doesn’t come through the willingness of the Conservative Govern-ment the direction we as a Nation go in order to effect that change will be up to the people.”

ARIES - MAR 21/ApR 20Aries, patience and calm is the way out of

a tricky situation. You also may want to keep your opinions to yourself until ev-erything gets settled, which shouldn’t take long.

TAURUS - ApR 21/MAy 21Taurus, though you may be pinching

pennies that doesn’t mean you can-not make a purchase that will benefit the household. Make a budget so you’ll learn how to spend wisely.

GEMINI - MAy 22/JUN 21You may need to subscribe to a new way

of thinking, Gemini. The way you have been doing things lately is not work-ing out too well. Ask a family member for advice.

CANCER - JUN 22/JUl 22Cancer, it can be easy to get into a routine

and then in a rut. Try switching up just one thing from your daily tasks, and it could provide a breath of fresh air.

lEO - JUl 23/AUG 23Leo, take advantage of the many oppor-

tunities for you to meet new people and forge new friendships this week. You may just meet someone who changes your life.

VIRGO - AUG 24/SEpT 22Virgo, too much of a good thing can make

it difficult to focus on other tasks and responsibilities. Make the effort to stay focused so you don’t find yourself fall-ing behind.

lIBRA - SEpT 23/OCT 23Libra, you will likely find yourself in a

domestic groove over the next few days. Use the time to get creative in the kitchen, straighten up the abode and do some decorating.

SCORpIO - OCT 24/NOV 22Scorpio, don’t allow your emotions to get

the best of you during a disagreement this week. Be sure to gather all of the facts before you form an opinion.

SAGITTARIUS - NOV 23/DEC 21Sagittarius, this is the perfect week to

correct any wrong impressions you might have made. Be overly generous with all the people you meet.

CApRICORN - DEC 22/JAN 20Capricorn, speak up if you don’t like the

way something is being done. Change can’t happen if you don’t voice your opinion, so overcome your reserva-tions.

AQUARIUS - JAN 21/FEB 18Aquarius, if you want to broaden your

horizons you will have to explore be-yond your comfort zone. It may not always be comfortable, but it can be adventurous.

pISCES - FEB 19/MAR 20Pisces, you have many questions, but not

enough answers are coming your way. Delve a little deeper this week.
