The Manitoba Metis Federation recently sent out a press release

outlining the new resolutions that the organization passed about night hunting. “Follow-ing consultations with our Community, MMF delegates passed two Resolutions per-taining to Night Hunting Law at our 2017 Annual General Assembly,” the release read. “These Resolutions directed the MMF to develop policy including definitions, a map, and map annotations.”

On February 9, 2018, MMF Cabinet passed the MMF Night Hunting and Night Lighting Agro-Zone Boundary Resolution, which provides policy specifying Metis Night Hunting Law in Manitoba. Our Metis Laws of the Harvest will be amended to reflect this Resolution. The MMF will defend any Metis Harvesters exercising Metis harvesting rights in accor-dance to the Metis Laws of the Harvest.

The following Night

Hunting Laws will come into effect on April 10, 2019:

1. No Metis Harvester shall participate in any manner and to any extent in Dan-gerous Night Spotlight-ing at anytime, anywhere within the Province of Manitoba.

2. No Metis Harvester shall participate in any manner and to any extent in Night Hunting with that part of Southern Manitoba re-ferred to and identified as Agro-Manitoba.

3. A Metis Harvester may engage in Night Hunt-ing within those areas of Manitoba other than Agro-Manitoba provided such Night Hunting is carried out away from settlements and local populations and is carried out in a manner that does not create a danger to any individual or property.

The release also remind-ed Metis Harvesters that they must:

1. Follow the Metis Laws of the Harvest Revised 3rd Edition;

2. Have a valid MMF Har-vester Identification Card with a Conservation

Trust Fund Sticker;3. Have the appropriate spe-

cies tags for hunting big game;

4. Have all permits and licenses required for

operation of boats and vehicles, and for the pos-session of firearms and ammunition; and,

5. Follow all relevant health and safety laws.

New Night Hunting Rules for Metis Harvesters


Sagkeeng Election 2019By Don NormanSagkeeng Election 2019

The Sagkeeng election held last week held a few surprises. As ex-

pected, Chief Derrick Hen-derson was re-elected with 692 votes However, unlike in the 2017 election, where Chief Henderson’s defeated his closest challenger by over 400 votes, only 82 votes sep-arated him from the 27 year old, Former CFL offensive lineman, Tchissakid (T-Dre) Player, who wound up with 610 votes.

The council saw some significant changes as well. Band councillors are elected at large and this year two more seats were added to council to raise the tally from four to six. Incumbents Marylin Courchene and Mark Courchene went down to de-feat. John (Johnish) Cour-chene and Linda Dorie were re-elected and four new coun-cillors joining them: Dylan Courchene; Erin Courchene; Tania Twoheart-Bunn; and Henry Swampy. The chief and council were sworn in at a ceremony in the Sagkeeng High school gymnasium on Monday, April 15.

The Advocate asked Chief Henderson some ques-tions about his priorities and goals, going forward. He said that currently, the big-gest challenge is the crystal meth crisis that is plaguing all the communities in the local area. “Sagkeeng plans on addressing this crisis with community input and recom-mendations,” said Chief Hen-derson. He said the discus-sions have been going on for a while but now is the time to

deal with it. “It is not going to go away, we have to deal with the dealers and the addicts.” He noted that they have a ‘community safety bylaw’ that has been presented to the community at previous meet-ings, that council will soon be implementing. “It is time to take action,” he said.

Chief Henderson said that Sagkeeng has to build on some of the community’s as-sets. One of these assets is the He spoke of revamping the education system. “We will educate our children to be successful.” He said that with successful students you can educate them further about the needs of the community, so they can return and work with the community as pro-fessionals. Chief Henderson noted the importance of land based education so the stu-dents will understand where they came from and who they are. “If they know who they are, Anicinabe, then they would understand that the issues of drugs, addictions, etc is not part of being Anici-nabe,” he said. “The students have to know who they are and that is what the educa-tion system will be focusing on. We will not leave out the academics and we have to use the holistic approach in the education system.”

Chief Henderson also noted the importance of The Sagkeeng Mino Pimatiziwin Treatment Centre. “It is an excellent facility for treat-ment for families and it is accredited internationally,” he said. “We are looking at expanding the programs so we can have an outpatient program for clients.” With the

Land Entitlement has been an ongoing negotiation for Sagkeeng. “Sagkeeng was shorted land when Treaty 1 was signed in 1871 and now with a land settlement this will provide economic ben-efits and opportunities where we can develop businesses and employment,” noted the Chief.

The band is also work-

opioid crisis reaching alarm-ing levels, he said the addicts need to be treated before our communities and the addicts themselves suffer greater harm from the epidemic. “We have an opportunity to pro-vide treatment for people who are seeking help and for them to have a better life.”

Looking ahead to the fu-ture, Chief Henderson said that there are a lot of seeds planted that should bear fruit in the coming years but cau-tioned that results are not always immediate. “Nego-tiations at all levels take time and patience and support is required so the results will be for the community to ben-efit now and for the future.” One example is the Kapyong agreement with the Treaty 1 First Nations. “These negoti-ations have been ongoing for the past 15 years and we have agreed with the Canada to settle the lands and the Treaty 1 First Nations will have an urban reserve on this prop-erty,” the Chief said. “The economic and employment opportunities along with business ventures will pro-vide the Treaty 1 communi-ties with sustainable and long term funding benefits on an equal basis.”

Similarly, the Treaty

ing on an agreement with Manitoba Hydro. “This will be negotiated and needs to be resolved and terms will need to be agreed on.” Chief Henderson said he expects the economic benefits will provide funds to the nation to create business opportuni-ties, provide funding for in-frastructure and employment for band members.

Wednesday, April 10th Louise G. Wert had her book

launch at Library Allard at 6:30 pm. Louise started off explaining her journey and how she began to write. Growing up she had to leave

school before its’ comple-tion to assist her family after family deaths. Louise didn’t have time to write, let alone read growing up. With her first language being French writing a book in English is a feat in and of itself. Upon

a long road trip, Louise found herself looking for something to amuse herself with and picked up a second hand ro-mance novel to read. It drew her in and then she became flooded with ideas on books of her own. She dubbed her-

self “a hopeless romantic” and that is where she concen-trates her efforts. Her book, “Can You See Me?” the first of 5 in a series titled “Lords and Friends” had an excerpt read by her sister, Jo-Anne Marin. Her book is a histori-

cal romance that takes place in France.

Louise received great support from the community with 31 people in attendance at her book launch.

As we enter April, warmer weather and looking for-

ward to May flowers, what do the federal Liberals give us?? Carbon Tax!! 4.4 cents per liter?? Have you fueled your vehicle lately? The two opposition parties here in Manitoba, the NDP and the Liberals are stating that it should have been even higher!

Standing up for Mani-tobans, our government will launch a legal challenge of the federal government’s move to impose its new car-bon tax on our province. The Trudeau government began charging its tax on carbon emissions in early April, taking money from Mani-tobans’ pockets, hurting our ability to attract business capital and damaging our economy, despite granting special treatment and ex-emptions to several other provinces.

We received legal advice in 2017 that the federal gov-ernment has the constitution-al right to impose a carbon tax, but only on provinces

that do not implement such plans of their own. We then developed our Manitoba Cli-mate and Green Plan, which is better for our province’s environment and economy. Even after acknowledging our made-in-Manitoba plan is the best in Canada, the federal Liberals said they would im-pose their higher and rising carbon tax on Manitobans, and have now done so.

The federal government’s conduct is unfair to Manito-bans. Ottawa can’t justify its rejection of Manitoba’s Cli-mate and Green Plan while it approves less effective strate-gies in other provinces.

This unfairness is threat-ening jobs and economic growth throughout Manitoba. The federal carbon tax hurts northerners and Manitoba’s agricultural and transporta-tion sectors. The tax is also raising the cost of food and gasoline while hiking home heating bills. With the GST applied by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, the carbon tax is adding $92 to the average Manitoba house-hold’s natural gas bill in 2019.

While our Manitoba government takes its opposi-tion to the escalating carbon tax to court, we will con-tinue to move forward with our Climate and Green Plan that supports our vision for a prosperous and growing green economy. Without a carbon tax, our plan encour-ages investments in renew-able energy and a reduction

WAYNE’S WORLDly – View from the LegislatureBy: Wayne Ewasko, MLA for Lac du Bonnet – Government Caucus Chairperson

in energy consumption while stimulating green innovation and creating jobs.

Ottawa insists on using its carbon tax to take more money from Manitobans. We will fight the federal govern-ment on this as we remain focused on reducing the tax burden on Manitobans, fix-ing our province’s finances and rebuilding its economy.

Have aHappyEaster!

For this month, the Win-nipeg River Arts Coun-cil features woodcrafter

and visual artist, Melvin Vin-cent. Before the Pine Falls Pulp and Paper Mill ceased operations, he worked in the thermal mechanical section and, prior to that, he sharpened materials in the stone ground area. A lifelong resident of St. Georges, he is a self-taught artist with a great fondness for decorating pieces of wood with acrylic paint.

Like many people in our region, Vincent has always en-joyed nature and wildlife, and his interest in painting grew out of his interest in taxidermy. He said, “It began with Charlie Niedermeyer. He gave me a crash course in taxidermy and I did it for fifteen years. Then I started painting and I’ve been doing that for the past fifteen years.”

Many Eastman residents know Charlie Niedermeyer for his handcrafted knives, wild-life carvings, and paintings. Niedermeyer’s work has been purchased by hunters, fishers, and art-lovers from all over the world. Recently, he donated a hand-carved paddle with the blade covered on both sides with scenes from the boreal forest. It will be auctioned off in a WRAC fundraiser, along

with smaller paddles decorat-ed by selected WRAC artists.

Niedermeyer’s son, Jim, another well-known local art-ist, creates chainsaw carvings and has participated in multi-ple large-scale competitions. Inspired by the Niedermey-ers, Vincent started chainsaw carving and joined the Win-nipeg River Carving Associa-tion. Now he’s the president of this organization.

Recently, the Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg asked the Winnipeg River chain-saw carvers to put on a show-case carving event. Some of the carvers required slabs to make benches. Vincent vol-unteered to saw the slabs, and went out and bought a porta-ble Alaskan saw mill.

This opened up new artis-tic possibilities that he want-ed to explore so he has sliced up hundreds of cottonwood, poplar, and other woods into slabs of varying thickness. He makes sturdy benches out of the pieces, etches the surfaces with a heated drawing tool or paints wildlife and boreal for-est scenes on the wood, and covers his artwork with a durable finish. He also saws logs on a diagonal angle to create smaller works of art. He keeps the live edge on the slabs to add striking visual

interest. “Live edges” means the bark is not removed from the logs.

In 2017, he suffered a stroke and had to be rushed to Winnipeg from the Pine Falls Hospital. His doctors told him the stroke could have crippled him for life. He said, “Thank God for Stars Ambulance. I received medical attention quickly.”

Grateful for the airborne life-saving assistance, Vin-

cent created a wood bench which was auctioned off with all proceeds going to Stars Ambulance. They raised $1650.00 from the bench he donated.

Given the rapid medical care and his determination to keep active, he now suf-fers only a few minor symp-toms. From the looks of his many projects-in-progress and workshops full of his art, he has been very active. His

WRAC Featured Artist of the month – Melvin Vincent

business is called “Vincent Woodworking and Arts” and interested buyers can call 1-(204) 367-4376 to view his work. He said, “I have lots of paintings, wood carving, and benches. I’d really like to sell some and make room for my new projects.”

It’s worth the trip to St. Georges, just to see the magi-cal creations he fashions from large pieces of wood.

RCMP task-force seeking public’s help in 12 year old murder case involving Woman from SagkeengStaff

Project Devote, Mani-toba’s Task Force for missing and murdered

exploited persons, is re-ex-amining a murder case from 12 years ago that involved Sagkeeng band member, Crystal Shannon Saunders. The RCMP have requested the public’s assistance with the case.

Crystal was last seen in the late evening hours of Wednesday, April 18, 2007, in the West End area of Win-nipeg. Her body was discov-ered the following day near

St. Ambroise, Manitoba; a small community approxi-mately 100 km northwest of Winnipeg. Crystal was 24 years of age at the time of her death.

“This week marks 12 years since Crystal was murdered and investigators are asking anyone who may have seen Crystal the eve-ning of her disappearance in Winnipeg, or recalls seeing something concerning or out place near the community of St. Ambroise, to contact Proj-ect Devote” said Cpl.Julie Courchaine of the Manitoba

RCMP. “If you live in the area of St. Ambroise, please be aware that Winnipeg Police Service and RCMP investi-gators from Project Devote will be conducting enqui-ries throughout the week. It is their hope that someone from the community may have critical information that could help further the inves-tigation.”

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact Project Devote at 1-888-673-3316 or Manitoba Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Whether you’re new to hosting or sim-ply looking for

ideas to make Easter enter-taining easier than ever, there are plenty of ways to save time and stress in the kitchen.

Go with what you know. Trying out new recipes is fun, but it can also add stress when they don’t turn out like you expected. Stick to tried and true dishes you can prepare and serve with confidence and save the experimenting for another time.

Take shortcuts. At the center of many Easter feasts is a ham that has been expertly cured and cooked to perfec-tion. Even so, starting with a full-cooked ham is a shortcut that no one is likely to notice, especially if you heat it prop-erly. For exceptional quality and a variety of flavor pro-file options to choose from, turn to America’s Original Butcher, Omaha Steaks. The meats are fully cooked then frozen before being delivered to your door for maximum convenience.

Work ahead. Plan your menu to incorporate items you can make ahead of time so you’re under less pressure the day of your dinner. Even handling the prep work like slicing veggies the night be-

fore can buy back precious minutes, that way when guests begin arriving, you can step out of the kitchen and enjoy the day right along with them.

Find more ideas to make hosting this year’s Easter meal easy at OmahaSteaks.com/buy/meals/easter.

How to Heat a Frozen Ham

Many frozen hams are fully cooked and can be served as soon as they’re properly thawed, which is an ideal solution for a casual brunch with mini sandwich-es on the menu. However, if you’re serving an elegant holiday dinner, you’re more likely to prefer a warm cen-terpiece dish. A fully cooked ham is still a time-saving op-tion; you’ll just need to allot time to heat it in the oven once it’s thawed.

Start by thawing a fully cooked ham in the refrigera-tor for 24-48 hours.

To keep your ham extra moist, always put the cut-side down. You might also con-sider placing a baking rack in the pan and adding a quarter-inch of water before placing

the ham on the rack.For a spiral-cut, bone-in

ham, heat the oven to 325 F. Remove ham from film and foil. Place ham cut-side down on a raised edge baking pan lined with foil. Heat uncov-ered 60-75 minutes for the entire ham or 10 minutes per pound for smaller portions.

For a boneless ham, heat the oven to 350 F. Place the ham, cut-side down, on a raised edge baking pan lined with foil. Cover the ham tightly with foil and heat 35-40 minutes.

Another option for add-ing extra juicy flavor is a glaze, which can be as sim-ple as dissolving three parts brown sugar into one part honey in a small saucepan. Or for a more elegant affair, con-sider a fruit-infused glaze to complement the savory pork.

A Host of Hams

If you always thought a ham is a ham is a ham, it’s time to think again. From the type of meat to the smoking preparation to specialized slicing that makes serving easy, there are plenty of op-tions to consider from a sup-plier like Omaha Steaks when choosing the right ham.

SavoryFor an elegant gathering

that demands premium ingre-dients, an all-natural Duroc Boneless Country Ham may be the answer. These hams tend to feature more marbling for an exceptionally rich fla-vor and texture, making for a tender, savory and juicy main course with no basting or in-jection needed.

SmokyPut a little flair in your

Easter meal with a uniquely flavored ham like the Pecan-wood Smoked Flank Ham, smoked with real pecan wood for 8 hours to add a rich yet mellow smoky flavor. This tender, juicy uncured whole-muscle ham earns its place of distinction on your holiday table. Complementary sides with subtle nutty notes, such as a sweet potato casserole, can enhance the menu even more.

SweetEach Spiral-Sliced Ham

is slowly smoked with real wood up to 24 hours to in-fuse flavor and maximize juiciness then generously brushed with a sweet and sticky brown-sugar crust that is torch-glazed to create a fla-vorful, crunchy crust. It’s spi-

ral-sliced before delivery, so once it’s thawed and heated, it’s ready for quick service to your guests.

Easy Fruit-Infused Glazes

Apricot Glaze 1/2 cup brown sugar1 teaspoon cornstarch1/2 teaspoon ground ginger1 cup apricot nectar,

canned

In saucepan, mix brown sugar, cornstarch and ginger. Stir in apricot nectar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils.

Cranberry Orange Glaze

1 can (16 ounces) cran-berry sauce

1 cup brown sugar1/2 cup orange juice1/2 teaspoon cloves, ground1/4 teaspoon cinnamon,

ground1/4 teaspoon allspice

In small saucepan over low heat, combine cranberry sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, cloves, cinnamon and allspice; simmer 5 minutes, before serving.

Kayla EaglestickEmpower Education Centre

2019 GraduateKayla is very excited to be a Grade

12 Graduate and we are so excited for her!

She would tell anyone, who thinks they can’t finish their Grade 12, about how she kept dropping out and every year would come back and push herself. This year the dif-ference was she just wanted to get this over and done with. She had the courage to just keep going.

While working on her Grade 12 course work, Kayla was also in-volved in the SETS Program, where she received many employment re-lated certificates. She also cared for her two boys, ages 2 and 5.

Kayla found Grade 12 English Language Arts her biggest challenge at Empower. But she always re-ceived encouragement which helped her to keep going.

Kayla’s plans now are to complete a Health Care Aid Program. She is currently exploring this training.

Kayla wants to give a huge shout out to her dad and thank him for his support and always driving her back and forth to work. Also she wants to thank her partner for understand-ing how much she wanted to finish school and for watching the boys when needed. Last, but not least, Kayla sends gratitude to the staff at Empower for all their help.

Well you did it Kayla! You’re a Grade 12 Graduate. We are very proud of you!
