VOLUME 2, ISSUE 7 PAGE 2

On June 23 community members donated enough clothing, hygiene products, bedding, pampers, food and water to fill a bus and additional trailers for the victims of the floods in Siksika, Morley and Sarcee.A huge thank you is extended the many people who volunteered their time to sort and deliver these donations!Also, don’t miss the fund-raiser concert this month on the 27th at Bear Park. Proceeds will also be going to the communities that fell vic-tim to the flood.

Freedom Riders and Treaty Caravan“Stand together, reach beyond the haze that blurs our vision of unity, and do this so that future gen-erations can have a good life. Ignite a sacred fire in each of our nations to be nurtured for four days and four nights to remove the haze (negativity) hang-ing over our lands that has kept us from speaking for and advancing our treaties. We must continue the vision of our ancestors and reignite the spirit of Treaty in our hearts, for our homes and our lands. Together, our Creators flame will burn stronger and be indivisible. All my relations”Both the Freedom Riders and Treaty Caravan arrived in Maskwacis on June 10, 2013. Grand Chief Derek Nepinak of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Chief Norman Bone of the Ojibway First Nation partici-pated in The Treaty Caravan. It is an extension of an existing mandate of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs to ensure that they begin re-establishing the treaty relationship on a nation to nation, treat terri-tory by treaty territory basis. They finished on June 21, 2013.

“My dream is to have a gathering for learning for the people of Hobbema, to have a community library which is open to everybody, not only in this com-munity, but neighboring communities and anybody in the world,”-Manisha Khetarpal, MLIS, MA

The Maskwacis Cultural College Librarian, Manisha Khetarpal, has taken on the task of creating a public library in Hobbema. Her hopes are to lower drop out rates, higher education and overall increase the qual-ity of life for members of the community.Her story was aired on CBC and she is asking for ‘one book’. Manisha is asking everyone to donate one book to assist in creating this vital resource for the community. If you have books you would like to do-nate contact Manisha at the Maskwacis Cultural Col-lege, (780) 585-3925. Manisha has also created a blog to track the progress, visit her blog at http://goo.gl/UmXhB

Soup Kitchen BBQThe MHS Diabetes Center provided a BBQ for the Soup Kitchen, we had over 270+ people who at-tended and a missions group from Grand Rapids Michigan served and assisted in the BBQ prep. The event was held on June 26


This photo was taken in front of the Jim Omeasoo Cultural Center on June 14. The building is named after Jim Omeasoo for his many accomplishments and contributions to Sam-son Cree Nation as not only a member but an ex-cellent role model.


Jasper Aboriginal Cultural Use SiteDuring past management plan review for the Jasper National Park, Aboriginal communities expressed their need for an area to hold cultural sharing, learn-ing and spiritual reconnection. This was then includ-ed in the 2010 Park Management Plan. In 2012 a site blessing ceremony and traditional pow wow was held at Sixth Bridge so that Parks Canada and Ab-original partners could continue planning. Aboriginal communities whom traditionally occu-pied Jasper National Park now have a place to carry out cultural and spiritual activities. Care and respect for the site will ensure plants, animals and water ways to flourish so traditional practices can continue.For more information on how to utilize this site, con-tact Samson Consultation at (780) 585-3793 ext. 177.

In 2004 Samson Cree Nation Land Use study sug-gested building a trail system to accommodate the population growth and development for the com-munity. In 2007 SCN Public Works had a partial de-sign of a trail for Highway 611 East. A questionnaire was conducted in November 2012 to revisit the idea of building a trail. 777 surveys were coordinated to include the SCN Members, Maskwacis Ambulance, Fire Department, R.C.M.P, High School, SCN staff, as well as posting the questionnaire on-line. 93% an-swered “yes” to building the trail. It was discovered that the trail would not only provide safety for those pedestrians who use the Highway as a form of trans-portation but would also increase overall Health and Wellness of the community members. The proposed trail is 10 km and will run along the north side of the Provincial Highway 611 East from Nipsihkopahk Edu-cation Authority to the Battle River Bridge.

Alberta Transportation supports the idea of the trail. 2.4 meters of provincial land will be returned to the SCN through the construction of the trail. In addition, Alberta Transportation will commit to cost sharing in the amount of $150,000.00 (One Hundred and Fifty Thousand) to assist with the development of the trail. Alberta Trail Net is also in full support of the system and would like maskwacis to one – day join the Trans Canada Trail System. As a community based project, by the people and for the people, the development and construction of the trail is a model that SCN can be very proud of. Currently there are other First Na-tions interested with establishing trail systems within their own communities and SCN is in a position to be the First Nation to succeed with such a projectHelp Support the Promotion and Development of this Initiative

Bringing Rodeo BackMolly Powell came to Maskwacîs in May, to the Panee Agriplex to present a barrel racing clinic. The initiative was supported by Samson Council Jerry Saddleback Jr, Band Administrator Cyndie Buffalo, Parcan and in conjunction with Ermineskin Council member Conrad Young and Ermineskin Youth and Sports Development. The idea was to bring rodeo back to Hobbema which was once the Indian Cow-boy Capital of Canada. There are hopes that after this first year, there will be a larger interest to gener-ate a youth rodeo club within the 4 Nations to assist and develop youth who would like to rodeo. Molly grew up around First Nation’s people, more specifi-cally the Blackfoot people of Southern Alberta, and was in full support for the opportunity to come to our community to do this initiative. This is the first time since the 1980’s that a Profes-sional of the Sport of Rodeo has come directly to

our community to host a 3 day clinic. It has been my pleasure to organize this event and I have attended Molly’s clinic previously and know that the ladies who participated in this event greatly benefited. I would also like to extend my gratitude and thanks to the council who supported the initiative from the moment I presented the proposal and the commu-nity members who supported the idea which is now a reality. To the individuals who assisted with the set up and preparation of the arena, to the many hours of proposal writing and administrative duties that have been completed on a volunteer basis, I thank each of those people. It is my hope that rodeo will come back, for we are a generation of movers and I have always been an advocate for the sport of rodeo and I always will be.

The countdown beginsThe participants for the first H.O.P.E. Scholars Nation-hood Tour have been chosen. Youth from the 4 Na-tions of Maskwacis will be traveling North America, as far South as Window Rock, Arizona. These youth will have the opportunity to tour 8 communities in-cluding the Grand Canyon and Navajo Nation. The H.O.P.E. Scholars (HS) Nationhood Tour commit-tee has been working diligently to ensure the stu-dents experience will be one that they will remember for years to come. The H.O.P.E Scholars mission is to empower and educate Maskwacis youth by expand-ing their understanding of First Nation development and Nationhood. HS believes youth are full-fledged stake holders in the community and given the op-portunity, young people are able to participate in

and make valuable contributions toward the better-ment of their community.The participants and their parents will be fund-rais-ing from now until departure on August 11, 2013. 50/50 squares will be sold and drawn every two weeks. If you see any of these students please sup-port the project by purchasing a square. The group will also have a concession at the Samson Pow Wow on August 9th and 10th, then departing the morning of August 11th.

Walk a Mile in Her ShoesThe Ermineskin Women Shelter held their 13th annual walk against family violence on June 26th, 2013. Pledges were collected by participants raising money for a new play-ground at the Women Shelter. This years theme was ‘Walk a Mile in Her Shoes’. The men who participated all walked in high heel shoes. Approximately 150 participants came out this year to walk in support of the Ermineskin Women Shelter. Thank you to all those participants and the sponsors who helped make this event a success.


Community Garden

Changing the NormI thought I would send you an example of what Hobbema is doing so we can learn from one anoth-er. For those that may not be aware in Hobbema the Gangs have been reduced from 13 Gangs to 3 Gangs, from well over 400 Gang members to about 100-140 Gangs the previous year (including Shots Fired) those that were arrested and incarcerated at the detachment have reduced the prisoner count by 500 from the pre-vious year. This didn’t happen over night. This took sev-eral years of engagement, education, awareness and suppression. The community members set their dif-ferences aside and took ownership and commitment to address the Gang Problem head on with the RCMP. There is hope for those that are seeing an increase in Gang Violence. I want to commend You for working so hard to address these difficult issues.

A community garden can do wonders for a community by developing community spirit, increasing community ownership and building community stewardship. Everyone is welcome to help in the commu-nity garden. Volunteer families who contrib-ute to the maintenance of the garden will benefit from the harvest.

Treaty Day 2013


July 8- The Samson Townsite is in a Water Shortage Emergency due to the motor break down at the Lift Station. Rest assured that our water maintenance crews are working 24/7 to rectify the situation, however they have informed us that they will need to turn the water off and on throughout the next 24-48 hours.To assist with this water shortage, staff mem-bers will be handing out individual water bot-tles to each house. As well, any band members requiring additional water are encouraged to attend the Pump House where additional wa-ter is available, all that is required is that you provide your own containers. It should be noted that a major concern with this recent emergency is the dumping of grease in our water system. Please avoid draining grease in your kitchen sink. A bet-ter alternative is to drain grease in an empty coffee container. And finally, we also ask that all home occupants do their best to conserve water. Please accept our apologies for this inconve-nience. We assure you that all steps are be-ing taken to ensure an expedient end to this emergency. Thank You-Cyndie Buffalo, Band Administrator

EMERGENCY WARNING SYSTEMSamson Cree Nation Emergency Planning will warn Nation members of impending emergencies using the following systems. Siren situated at the Maskwacis Emergency Services building (fire hall), HAWK Radio and Alberta Emergency Alert. In the event of a tornado warning, (tornado has touched down), the siren at the Maskwacis Emergency Services building will be activated and will run continuously, until such time the tornado has passed Samson Cree Nation. A tornado warning is deemed to be a short duration event and is normally over, within min-utes. In all “lock down” situations, involving NEA schools, Samson town-site, Samson owned buildings including the Administration offices, the siren will once again be activated. The difference is that the siren will be ac-tivated for 10 seconds only. The 10 second activation procedure will continue at 15 minute intervals, until such time the ALL CLEAR has been given by emergency personnel.HAWK Radio (87.1 FM) will broadcast any and all updates. Alberta Emergency Alert is a public alerting system owned by the Government of Alberta and provided in partnership with broadcasters, government and communities. In situations where minutes count, Alberta Emergency Alert gives Authorized Users the ability to broadcast an emergency quickly and directly to radio and television stations and other distribution outlets.

dition, a smaller scale edition of the painting will be received by Chief Marvin Yellowbird on behalf of the Samson Cree Nation. Holly Johnson, the Chairman of the SCN Pow Wow Committee stated: “We are truly blessed and hon-ored that Francisco, Angela and their family would travel all the way from South America to attend our Pow Wow Celebration” It is great coming together of indigenous cultures from each Continent. Presentation will be made the first evening of the Samson Pow Wow at 6:30 p.m. Friday August 9, 2013. Everyone is welcome!

World famous visual artists Francisco Gazitua and Angela Leible will be traveling from Santiago, Chile, in South America to attend the 2013 Samson Cree Nation Celebration in August.

This husband and wife team have ex-hibited in major galleries and mu-seum collections throughout the world.

Francisco Gazitua specializes in large scale sculptures made of steel, stone or work. These artworks are dis-played in front of large office towers and public areas. Recently he began a series of works based on feathers. Francisco states that they carry mul-tiple layers of meaning. The spiritual symbolism of the eagle feather in South American culture and that of First Nations in North America is very similar. Francisco believes indigenous ancestral roots and traditions bind us as members of a common family. The eagle feather is his connec-tion between North and South.Angela Leible is a well known South American visual artist who had exhibited throughout the world and is collected by major museums. She is well known for her very large paintings exploring a number of themes pertaining to indigenous culture. A larger scale painting of an eagle by Angela will be donated to a Canadian Museum in the name of the Samson Cree Nation. In ad-
