There was a peaceful and poignant demonstration in downtown Hagersville last Thursday afternoon, Feb. 14th. Women men and children from New Credit, Six Nations and Kettle and Stoney Point drummed and sang traditional songs at the main intersection at Main and carrying signs to draw attention to the ongoing problem of unresolved murdered and missing Onkwehon:we women in Canada. It was cold and blustery but that did not dampen the spirit of the demonstration one little bit. During the hour and a half they demonstrated in front of the CIBC Bank, several motorists passing by honked in support and a number of pedestrians acknowledged the missing women as well. One of those carrying a sign was standing for a family member who is one of the missing women. (Photo by Jim Windle)

Change is in the air, and it's not just spring. Six Nations Fire Chief, Michael Seth, has been doing some out of the box thinking, and will be working with Six Nations Senior Administrative Offi-cer (SAO) Dayle Bomberry to map out the different op-tions that could be the future of the fire department.

Seth brought his ideas, and his budget, to the bud-get meeting held by Elect-ed Council on February 15. Bomberry advised council there are at least three differ-ent options to be mapped-out for the fire department. Each

will have an effect on the lev-el of service provided by the department.

Seth said he would like to have the fire department be-come a stand-alone agency, run under the auspices of a Commission, much like the police department. “I don't even know if it's feasible,” he said. He also proposed amal-gamating the ambulance ser-vice with his department.

While those ideas remain to be explored along op-tions such as scrapping the fire department altogether (in favour of contracting ser-vices with neighbouring fire departments), Seth asked council to support his bud-get request of $2.4 million.

If approved, Seth would have a deficit of just over $700,000 for the next fiscal year, which would have to be plugged with monies from the Ontario First Nation Lottery Partner-ship (OFNLP).

That request was not very well-received by Elected Council, as were the chang-es contained in Seth's bud-get. The main change Seth is pushing is to make the eight part-time fire fighters full-time employees and to make all the volunteer firefighters casual part-time employees with a set hourly wage.

Volunteer firefighters are paid an honorarium for their time based on a point system, said Seth, and the amount

paid fluctuates all the time. There is a set pool of mon-ey ($3,500) available each month, which is divided be-tween volunteers.

Seth said giving the volun-teers a flat rate of $20 an hour would give the firefighters a good sense of what to expect financially, and would allow him to ensure each call for assistance is appropriately staffed.

Making the part-time fire-fighters full-time employees would allow Seth to ensure he has a dedicated staff of a minimum of four people available to respond to a call. The number of people required is dictated by the truck, which Seth said needs a minimum of four people to operate.

Six Nations currently has eight fire trucks, which would mean to have all four stations properly manned with the minimum number of staff, Seth would need 32 people and a budget of $5 million a year.

Seth suggested ways to offset the costs of his depart-ment, particularly advocating charging $400 per hour when sent out to assist at car colli-sions. The fee, he said, would only be charged if the person assisted was found to be re-

sponsible for the collision. Seth said the charge is a nor-mal procedure in neighbour-ing municipalities. Council could also charge a fire in-spection fee, he suggested.

The idea of charging fees did not sit well with some of the councillors.

Seth suggested Six Nations establish a fire fighter training center that would cater to an international clientele. The center would generate reve-nue, and Seth is intent on pur-suing the idea, saying he will run it past the OFFTA later this month. “I have plans sit-

ting on a shelf,” he said.SAO Dayle Bomberry sug-

gested council approve the same budget the fire depart-ment has for the current fis-cal year, which has a smaller deficit of $213,000. Elected Council deferred a decision on Seth's proposed budget to February 21, when the OF-NLP budget will be available for review.

The options being con-sidered for the future oper-ation of the fire department are expected to be presented to council in approximately three months time.

Six Nations Fire Chief Michael Seth

Woodland Cultural Centre and Museum Director Paula Whitlow, is seeking the help of Tekawennake readers in identifying the person depicted in an old picture frame dat-ed to around 1870 to 1890, judging by the photographic materials used. The picture was apparently bought at a Caledonia auction in round 1900. The owner wants to donate it to the Museum and believes the subject to be from Six Nations or New Credit, but has no other information to offer about it. If this person is familiar to you, please contact Paula Whitlow at the museum at 519-759-2650.

Montreal - Pushing the pa-rameters of the public policy conversation, this month Pol-icy Options uses the narrative power of photography to try to break the stale discussion of Aboriginal issues. The re-sult is a striking collection of self-interpretation that chal-lenges assumptions about Aboriginal people and shows the possibility of doing the same with public policies.

“The reaction to the Idle No More movement saw a retreat into the comfort of familiar views,” says Policy Options editor Bruce Wal-lace. “We heard the same old arguments from all sides that only reinforced a dismal sense of stalemate,” he said. “If photography can chal-lenge our deeply ingrained assumptions about Aborigi-nal people, then there should be no barrier to breaking the stagnant paradigm that frames our engagement on Aboriginal policy,” Wallace

says.The articles that accom-

pany the photos try to light that path. Among the writers are Satsan (Herb George), who calls for First Nations people to use the rights they possess to take command of governing themselves; Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond, who describes how the In-dian Act leadership has been undone, largely by a back-lash against the treatment of Aboriginal women; and Don Drummond, who calls on universities and colleges to do more to educate Ab-original students and ensure their education translates into good jobs.

Elsewhere in the issue, Scott Staring looks at the philosophical underpinnings of Stephen Harper’s foreign policy. Ken Coates and Rick Miner examine ways to im-prove the correlation be-tween “jobs without people and people without jobs.”

And Craig Alexander writes an appreciation of the recent-ly deceased economist Albert Hirschman, whose warnings against allowing cynicism to curb our quest for better pub-lic policy are a philosophical adrenaline shot to our poli-tics.

Wallace believes that there are many story-telling medi-ums that can drive the dis-cussion on public policy. The December-January is-sue used art to communicate perceptions of the policy is-sues arising from stem cell science. The photographs in the February issue are a pow-erful warning against relying on our assumptions, a useful reminder to those with the responsibility to make better public policy. Policy Options will do more of it.

Challenging Assumptions about Aboriginal People


By Colin PerkelThe Canadian Press

TORONTO

At least 3,000 children, in-cluding four under the age of 10 found huddled together in frozen embrace, are now known to have died during attendance at Cana-da's Indian residential schools, according to new unpublished research.

While deaths have long been documented as part of the dis-graced residential school system, the findings are the result of the first systematic search of govern-ment, school and other records.

"These are actual confirmed numbers," Alex Maass, research manager with the Missing Chil-dren Project, told The Canadian Press from Vancouver.

"All of them have primary documentation that indicates that there's been a death, when it oc-curred, what the circumstances were."

The number could rise further as more documents -- especial-ly from government archives -- come to light.

The largest single killer, by far, was disease.

For decades starting in about 1910, tuberculosis was a consis-tent killer -- in part because of widespread ignorance over how diseases were spread.

"The schools were a particular breeding ground for (TB)," Maass said. "Dormitories were incuba-tion wards."

The Spanish flu epidemic in 1918-1919 also took a devastat-ing toll on students -- and in some cases staff. For example, in one grim three-month period, the dis-ease killed 20 children at a resi-dential school in Spanish, Ont., the records show.

While a statistical analysis has

yet to be done, the records exam-ined over the past few years also show children also died of mal-nutrition or accidents. Schools consistently burned down, killing students and staff. Drownings or exposure were another cause.

In all, about 150,000 First Na-tions children went through the church-run residential school system, which ran from the 1870s until the 1990s. In many cases, na-tive kids were forced to attend un-der a deliberate federal policy of "civilizing" Aboriginal Peoples.

Many students were physical-ly, mentally and sexually abused. Some committed suicide. Some died fleeing their schools.

One heart-breaking incident that drew rare media attention at the time involved the deaths of four boys -- two aged 8 and two aged 9 -- in early January 1937.

A Canadian Press report from Vanderhoof, B.C., describes how the four bodies were found fro-zen together in slush ice on Fra-ser Lake, barely a kilometre from home.

The "capless and lightly clad" boys had left an Indian school on the south end of the lake "appar-ently intent on trekking home to the Nautley Reserve," the article states.

A coroner's inquest later recom-mended "excessive corporal dis-cipline" of students be "limited."

The records reveal the number of deaths only fell off dramatically after the 1950s, although some fa-talities occurred into the 1970s.

"The question I ask myself is: Would I send my child to a private school where there were even a couple of deaths the previous year without looking at it a little bit more closely?" Maass said.

"One wouldn't expect any death rates in private residential schools."

In fact, Maass said, student

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO _ The surprise resignation of Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Dun-can is being met with raised eyebrows among some First Nations leaders, who call it a diversion as aboriginal is-sues gain momentum on the national stage.

Isadore Day, Chief of the Serpent River First Nation in Ontario, said Duncan's deci-sion came at a convenient time for the Conservative government, which is under mounting pressure from ab-original groups to address treaty rights and other issues.

`Ìt appears he's getting out when the getting's good and that's again being seen as a strategy of proactive disen-gagement by First Nations leaders,'' he said in a phone interview Saturday.

``This certainly will buy some time for the govern-ment, they'll be able to turn around and now say, 'We've got to brief the new minister on these files,''' he said.

`Àll the while, there may be opportunities that get missed.''

He said many of his coun-terparts share his concerns, though few are likely to speak out for fear of repri-sals.

Day initially voiced his

misgivings on Twitter Fri-day shortlyafter Duncan's announcement, calling the move a ``shell game'' and accusing Ottawa of being ``tactically strategic'' in mak-ing Duncan its ``sacrificial lamb.''

Other First Nations groups expressed shock or even sadness at Duncan's depar-ture and said they look for-ward to working with his replacement, Heritage Min-ister James Moore, who is temporarily taking over the portfolio.

A statement by the As-sembly of Manitoba Chiefs also strongly urged the gov-ernment to choose the next minister carefully, adding

Canada's indigenous people are ̀ `no longer willing to ac-cept the status quo'' of the In-dian Act.

A spokeswoman for the group was more vocal on Twitter, however, saying Duncan's resignation ap-peared to be `à bit of a di-version tactic.''

The message posted by Sheila North Wilson went on to say: `Èither way, we are affecting (sic) change and I think prayers and songs we sing are helping.''

She said Saturday the com-ment reflected her own opin-ion rather than the chiefs.

The national chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peo-ples expressed sadness on

Duncan's resignation.Betty Ann Lavallee called

Duncan an honourable man who was doing his best ``to improve the lives of all Ab-original Peoples throughout Canada.''

When asked about the min-ister's decision, a spokesman for the Assembly of First Nations would only say that the organization remains fo-cused on moving ahead with the plans established in last month's talks with the federal government.

Day said it will be hard to overcome the loss of mo-mentum stemming from the repeated change in leader-ship.

``We need to now figure

out how to deal with this and mitigate any impact of not having continuity. This was quite sudden from the minis-ter and now we need to deal with that,'' he said.

With the prime minister having publicly committed to a new round of negotiations over treaty issues and land-claims settlements, the lead-ership of the Department of

Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development is likely to take on a much higher profile in the Conser-vative government.

Duncan announced on Fri-day he was stepping down after improperly advocating to a tax court on behalf of a constituent.

Duncan’s resignation met with cynicism among some First Nations leaders

deaths were so much part of the sys-tem, architectural plans for many schools included cemeteries that were laid out in advance of the build-ing.

Maass, who has a background in archeology, said researchers had identified 50 burial sites as part of the project.

About 500 of the victims remain nameless. Documentation of their deaths was contained in Department of Indian Affairs year-end reports based on information from school

principals.The annual death reports were con-

sistently done until 1917, when they abruptly stopped.

"It was obviously a policy not to report them," Maass said.

In the 1990s, thousands of victims sued the churches that ran the 140 schools and the Canadian govern-ment. A $1.9-billion settlement of the lawsuit in 2007 prompted an apology from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and the creation of the Truth and Rec-onciliation Commission.

The research -- carried out under the auspices of the commission -- has involved combing through more than one million government and other re-cords, including nuns' journal entries.

The longer-term goal is to make the information available at national research centre.

At least 3,000 deaths linked to Indian residential schools: new research


By Stephanie DearingNEW CREDIT

All the stops were pulled out for the training of New Credit archeological monitors this year, including a special appearance from Professor Gary Warrick, who studied and excavated the former Mis-sissauga settlement known as Davisville.

Offered for the first time last year, the program has not only attracted nearly double the number of students par-ticipating than last year, the course was expanded to two weeks.

Michael D'Mello, Ontario's Registrar of Cemeteries, will also conduct training for the nearly 20 students, who are settled in at the New Credit Church for their introduction to archaeology. The training wraps up this Friday.

New Credit elder and his-torian Max King said arche-ologist Paul Racher, known for having found a historic Indigenous village in Kitch-ener-Waterloo a few years ago, “is the genius behind the training,” while New Credit historian Carolyn King “is the driving force.” Max King said Racher's job was to ensure the students got the information needed to work in the field.

Last year's inaugural train-

ing course resulted in six of the ten trainees landing work, either as archeological moni-tors, excavators or security, said Racher. While success has been achieved, Carolyn King said New Credit wants to expand the training into a 12 week course, that would be of-fered through Wilfred Laurier University.

A meeting between the uni-versity, New Credit and the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Tourism was scheduled for Tuesday, February 19, to discuss not only the course, but potential funding for the initiative.

The training is intensive, and Carolyn said it was ex-panded this year to allow stu-dents an opportunity to learn history through the annual

Historical Gathering, which took place last week.

“It's really a lot of material compressed into a short time,” said Max King.

Family Day saw the stu-dents gathered around flint knapper Fred Moerschfelder, who demonstrated both per-cussive (hitting) and pressure flaking techniques, turning out three different points over the course of a few hours. The fascinated students learned that often the only clue to a site is the very small pieces of flakes created from pressure flaking.

Moerschfelder had brought along several samples of flint and obsidian. “It's extremely rare to find a prehistoric point without damage,” he told the students. “It's been used.

Anything I make, there is no use for it.”

Because the Mississauga lived lightly on the earth, said Paul Racher, addressing an avid audience at the Third Annual Historical Gather-ing hosted by Mississaugas of the New Credit, it is very difficult to find archeologi-cal sites.

Racher was one of sever-al guests who came to New Credit to present information during the three-day Histori-cal Gathering that took place at Lloyd S. King school from Wednesday, February 16 to Friday, February 19.

“Think about trying to piece together the impor-tance of our culture from our cutlery drawers,” said Rach-er, describing the difficul-ties archeologists face when studying people who lived in the past. He said most arche-ologists gather information from old garbage heaps, and have to try to put together a picture of those people.

While the information

gathered about people from the past can be fragmented as a result, archeologists still “learn how people lived, what they did, what they ate,” said Racher.

The 12,000 year old “ar-cheological record we find in Ontario ...[is] full of wonder-ful things,” Racher said. He brought a few artifacts with him, which he allowed ev-eryone to examine.

The three-day gathering “is all about gathering up our history and document-ing it,” said New Credit el-der and historian, Carolyn King. She said anyone who has documented New Cred-it history, whether through writing, film or other venues, is invited to share their infor-mation during the gathering.

The gathering was creat-ed in order “to understand who we are,” Carolyn said. The conference is held at the school in order to allow the elementary students to par-ticipate.

The diverse agenda for this year's conference fea-

tured a talk on the Doctrine of Discovery, a presentation on New Credit's Wampum Belts; the archeological re-cord; and the importance of language. Traditional teach-ings were a key part of the conference.

During his hour-long lec-ture, Racher said there was evidence of the influence of the Mississaugas all over southern Ontario. “Highway 2 and 3 were both trails,” he pointed out, created by the Mississauga and later used

by incoming Europeans.“Archaeology is part of

your heritage, your cultur-

al inheritance. It gives you clues that add to the story of you,” Racher said.

Max King holds a projectile point, an artifact found by Ar-cheologist Paul Racher. Racher passed around the projec-tile point, as an example of the Plano Culture. It is thought the Plano people were the first Anishnabe, and they began to appear in the archeological record 10,000 years ago. (Pho-tograph by Stephanie Dearing).

Experts brought for archeological monitor trainingContinued on page 9



The idea of creating a tourist mecca at Six Nations by building a horse-racing track and a complimentary casino got a nod of support from representatives of the Ontario Harness Horse-man's Association (OHHA) recently.

Elected Chief William Montour took time out of his busy schedule to attend Elected Council's meeting of the Physical and Eco-

nomic Development Com-mittee on February 13, 2013, a meeting also attend-ed by three representatives from the OHHA.

Elected Chief Montour whipped through a power-point presentation, touching on damage done to harness racing now that Ontario has decided to no longer back horse racing. That deci-sion was a recommendation contained in the Drummond Report, commissioned by the government to help find ways to pare down the defi-cit. Last year, Ontario said it subsidized horse racing by as much as $345 mil-lion a year, and wanted to redirect the money towards health care and education.

While the cutback in sup-port means it is likely some race tracks in Ontario will close, Montour said Six Nations Council wanted to create tourist destination at Six Nations based on har-ness racing and a casino. He said the second phase

of the development would include the possible con-struction of a hotel, and/or a golf course.

Meeting chair, Elected Councillor Ava Hill (Dis-trict Two) said this was only one of several options Elected Council has envi-sioned, but the other op-tions were not brought out for discussion.

The OHHA represen-tatives liked what they heard and each of the three pledged to provide assis-tance to Elected Council

however he could.Horse racing has long had

a historical place in Haude-nosaunee culture, Ava Hill told the guests, including her own family. Her broth-er, Larry Hill, was present in the visitor's gallery for the meeting.

Elected Councillor Carl Hill (District Two) said his family has also raced horses for decades.

Elected Chief William Montour said federal fund-ing transfers to Six Nations have been cut, and the com-munity needs to have alter-native revenue. Seeing an opportunity emerging with Ontario's new direction,

council began to develop the idea of establishing a race track as a revenue gen-erating enterprise for the community.

“We think horse rac-ing is worth saving,” said Montour, words that were welcomed by the OHHA representatives. “We'd like to do our part to bring that about.”

The idea was supported in principle by the OHHA rep-resentatives, who said com-bining harness racing with a casino was a good idea.

A stand-alone race track would not work, they said.

The visiting delegation was asked if they would work with Six Nations to develop a track on the ter-ritory. The three repre-sentatives, President Ken Hardy, Executive mem-ber Jim Whelan and Gen-eral Manager Brian Tropea each committed to provid-ing whatever advice they could. They also agreed to holding further meetings on the topic.

Elected Chief Montour said Six Nations as a sov-ereign nation, would estab-lish the track independently of any government body.

Barrett still babbling We really must respond to Conservative MPP Toby Barrett’s most recent media release

regarding Kanonhstaton (the former Douglas Creek Estates land).It seems Barrett has taken up the banner to keep the fire lit under the Caledonia conflict

with his standard inflammatory use of words like “illegal”, “rule of law”, “one law for all”, or “militants” to describe the two lone Native occupants of the site who are there simply to keep a Six Nations presence on the land many believe, from a Haudenosaunee perspec-tive, was reclaimed in 2006.

Let’s decode Barrett’s choice of words. “Illegal occupation”: The two Six Nations men on site are there with the permission of

the perceived land owners (Ontario), and as such are not there illegally.“Rule of Law”: This concept includes section 35 of the Constitution Act which upholds,

recognizes and affirms the existing Aboriginal and treaties rights, which is what is at the root of the entire issue since it involves the alleged theft of this piece of land by the Cana-dian government many years ago.

“One Law for All”: If in fact there was “one law for all”, there would be no such thing as the Indian Act in its many oppressive incarnations over the years, or Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution Act, or the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and all it covers. “One law for all” is a sick joke when you see the hundreds of cases of the politically powerful and corporately entrenched being exempt from laws the rest of Canada is expected to adhere to, or who receive light punishments for financial impropri-eties and still get to keep their lucrative lifetime pensions. We read about these breaches of trust almost weekly. This week it was Indian Affairs Minister John Duncan who was forced to resign because of financial misbehavior, but all anyone wants to talk about is what Theresa Spence may or may not have done.

Barrett writes to his PC government cronies and the Toronto media, which knows noth-ing more than Christie Blatchford’s one sided account of the events, “It has been seven years and MILITANTS (our emphasis) continue to occupy Douglas Creek Estates subdi-vision in Caledonia.”

First, it is no longer the Douglas Creek Estates subdivision. The selective choice of Bar-rett’s words leaves the impression to the uninitiated that there is a subdivision in Caledo-nia that has been taken over by a band of wild Indians who, over the past seven years, are holding it’s occupants as prisoners against their will.

Anyone with the slightest knowledge of the issue or has even been to Caledonia within the past five years will know this is not the case at all. This word picture is a well cultivated lie, intended to evoke reaction from the Ezra Levants of the the world.

Barrett speaks of the burned out trailer on highway #6, but forgets to tell his readers that it was anti-Native militants who torched it in the first place, as they did two Native built gate houses and a nearby Smoke Hut (and no one was arrested in any of these cases either, nor was it widely reported).

He talks about the discharging of “an AK47 from a provincial highway that put a guy in hospital.” Of corse he allows his readers to falsely assume the victim was a poor innocent Caledonian shot by nasty Indians for no apparent reason. Barrett knows the incident did not happen at Kanonhstaton and involved a dispute between two Native men, completely separate from the land dispute. He also knows the shooter was caught very quickly after the incident by Six Nations Police, sentenced and sent off to prison for his crime. But Bar-rett makes no mention of that.

He is still crying foul about arrested development when home builders associations in Haldimand, Brantford and Brant all report building is actually up significantly.

Barrett finishes his manipulative rhetoric to the Toronto media and fellow PC’s by quot-ing — of all people — a right wing Toronto Sun Media columnist.

One thing we do agree with Barrett about is that the issue of Kanonhstaton needs to be resolved. But not because of his misleading projected image of evil Indians daily reeking havoc upon innocent Caledonian citizens, but so the truth of title to this land and many other land claims can be fairly put to the test and looked at in the light of day.

That is a federal issue which Barrett’s boss in Ottawa refuses to deal with, and that is the biggest crime of the Caledonia conflict.

Coming Soon to Haldimand: Over 200 Wind Turbines

The assembly of the first industrial wind turbine in Haldimand County approved under the Green Energy Act, was completed on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013 at a NextEra site on Conces-sion 5, Walpole. With NextEra’s 56 wind turbines to install, Capital Power’s 45 turbines in Haldimand, Samsung’s 67 turbines and the 6 existing turbines near Lowbanks, these projects

bring the totals to 174 wind turbines for the county. Ni-agara Region Corporation is proposing 31 more wind turbines in the far eastern part of the county and know-ing the province’s record for approvals, that would add up to 205 industrial wind turbines for southern Hal-dimand! Capital Power’s project also includes a cluster of another 13 wind turbines in Norfolk County just east of Port Dover by East Quarter Line near the lakeshore.

But if you think NextEra’s wind turbines are tall, you haven’t seen anything yet! Their turbines happen to be the shortest ones planned for Haldimand. With an 80m hub height and 49m blade, the total height is 129m or 423 ft. Each successive project’s wind tur-bines increase with height.

Capital Power’s wind turbine hub height of 95m plus a 44m blade totals 139m or 456 ft.

Taller yet are Samsung’s wind turbine hubs of 100m plus a 49m blade which equals 149m or 488 ft.

Niagara Region Wind Corporation’s proposed wind turbines would be 124m or 135 m tall, with a 48.5m blade making them 565 ft. tall or 602 ft. tall, the tallest turbines yet.

Also coming to a quiet, beautiful countryside near you: reduced property values, loss of democratic rights, health effects for some and rising electricity rates for all.

Haldimand’s industrial blight has begun!

There is a group of wom-en led by Terri Lyn Brant who plan to ask people to sign a card stating their support for the confederacy council as the government of Six Na-tions and to refuse to vote in the elected system as well as make other affirmations.

The intention Ms. Brant said recently is to get 2000 people over the age of 18 to sign unto the card. Presum-ably if the group gets 2000 people to take the card this would show more support for the confederacy council then for the elected coun-cil, given that we know the three-year election only gar-ners anywhere from 1000 – 1500 votes.

But there is a signifi-cant difference between Ms. Brant’s process and the three-year election process. The elected council elections give every eligible voter 18 years old and over the oppor-tunity to vote in the advance poll and in the election poll whereas Ms. Brant’s process will be selective in recruit-ing people to sign onto their card. At least that’s the way it sounds.

What Ms. Brant’s process won’t take into account is how many people don’t sup-port the confederacy council as the government. In order to be fair Ms. Brant would have to give every person 18 years and over or the eligible voters the opportunity to sign unto their card or not to sign on. Only then could the group truly determine who the peo-ple support. Then too there are people who may support the confederacy council but not necessarily support the confederacy council as the government of Six Nations.

According to reports when Ms. Brant presented her card idea to the confederacy coun-cil the Cayuga and Onondaga chiefs rejected the card and the idea but not so with Mo-hawk Chief Allan McNaugh-ton. Chief McNaughton said the Mohawks supported the card. “We think it’s pretty good…and they should get them out there,” he said.

My first thought was at what point did the Mohawks agree? I certainly didn’t agree and I don’t recall any Mohawk Clan meetings being advertised or called. Further-more, all the Mohawks I’ve talked to since reading about this card either didn’t agree or didn’t know about the card. So who exactly makes up the “We” Chief McNaughton ref-erenced?

Ms. Brant claims there hasn’t been a petition asking who supports the confederacy council since 1923. I beg to differ. I think it was last sum-mer Hazel Hill worked on and circulated a petition asking if

people supported the confed-eracy council. There were sheets of paper in the stores and restaurants I remember. I noticed there weren’t many signatures on the sheets, so perhaps that’s the reason the petition fizzled out and was never heard of again.

Then I see Wes Elliot presented a transition plan to the confederacy council in preparation for the demise of the Indian Act. Elliot ex-pects once the Indian Act is gone the elected council will be gone and the confederacy chiefs will be taking over the

reins. But the confederacy chiefs have never said they want to take over the gover-nance of Six Nations. Last I heard the confederacy chiefs only wanted the “exclusive” governance of the Eight Points of Jurisdiction.

Six Nations is an $80 mil-lion operation with over 700 employees making up several departments necessary to run our community. So this would mean the confederacy council would most certainly have to change the way it does busi-ness.

We know the confederacy council doesn’t consult with the people even though the

Clans and Clan Mothers are an integral part of the tradi-tional system. So people are not even given the opportu-nity for input. We know, as evidenced by the lack of any financial accounting from the HDI to the community, that the confederacy chiefs be-lieve they aren’t obligated to account to the people. Even more disturbing is the confed-eracy council will not repre-sent the whole community.

According to their Eight Points of Jurisdiction position paper the confederacy chiefs would exclude the diversity of people and beliefs in our community. In the position

paper it says: “Nor do we want to exclude any groups or individuals as long as they agree to live by the principles of the Great Law and to fol-low the path as laid out for us by the Peacemaker”. What the confederacy chiefs are saying is that they will only represent and work for the people who believe as they do and who follow the traditional ways and attend longhouse. This selective governance was un-acceptable in 1924 and should be unacceptable today.

The elected council on the other hand doesn’t just work with and support the people who voted in the

election process; the chief and council represent every person who is a member of Six Nations no matter what their beliefs and lifestyle and religious choices. So people need to think about what kind of government they want and what government works best for our community.

For certain, and speaking only for myself and not coun-cil, our community would not survive if the elected council only met once a month or put issues under the pillow for months and sometimes years.

To vote or not to vote


By Jim WindleOHSWEKEN

The Six Nations Library got a little help this week from the primary students of Oliver M. Smith school who collected 10,000 pennies, or $100, in a penny drive for the new Six Nations library, on Thursday, the 100th day of the school year.

About the venerable old building on Chiefswood Road, CEO and Head Li-brarian, Dr. Sabrina Redwing Saunders said, “It’s kind of a cool old building, but we can’t accommodate everyone here at this school, let alone everyone else.”

At Thursday’s general as-sembly, Dr. Saunders and OMSK librarian James Mar-tin were proud of the young students and the work they did in collecting 10,000 pen-nies for the cause.

“We are very excited,” says Saunders. “We know it’s coming, it’s just a case of rais-ing the $15 million we need at

this point, but we do believe that this is something we can raise one penny at a time.”

Conceptual designs for the new Six Nations Public Li-brary & Archives Repository are available for viewing at the library office on Chiefs-wood Road along with up-dates on the fundraising efforts and details about the new facility. This information and more is also posted on the Six Nations Library web-site, at http://snpl.ca/.

According to the website, “in 1967 when the Women’s Institute of Ohsweken cam-paigned for the community library, the original thinking was to have the Six Nations Public Library called the Pau-line Johnson Memorial Li-brary. Although the name was not utilized, SNPL utilizes the Silver brooch (which goes by several names including the national emblem of the Iro-quois and the brooch of broth-erhood) which has historical significance to the communi-ty and was written of by the

famous Haudenosaunee po-etess. In P. Johnson’s story, she states that the brooch is representative of two men, although opposing warriors, who eventually came togeth-er as brothers, sharing life and assets. We see SNPL as a place of enlightenment for the community, but also as a clearinghouse of Aboriginal information for all of resi-dents of the territory who may wish to learn about historical and contemporary Aboriginal issues.”

Dr. Saunders hopes the project will be “shovel ready” to break ground by about June of this year ... that is if the funding necessary becomes available.

“Being shovel ready means we will then be eligible for government grants,” says Saunders. “If you don’t want to be passed over for grants, as we have in the past, we need to be ready to go.”

The land that has been pur-chased for the new site of the Library is located behind the

Baptist Church on Fourth Line Road near the main in-tersection of Chiefswood Road. An estimated cost for the new facility is just over $15 million.

As is the case with most grants of this type, Six Na-tions will be expected to raise 1/3 of the total with the pro-vincial and the federal gov-ernments adding 1/3 each. That makes the Six Nations community fund raising effort around $5 million.

To date the library board has filed a request to the Elected Band Council for $1 million to cover the library’s portion, plus additional fund-ing from other available sources as well.

There is roughly $800,000 already spent in the planning stages of the project includ-ing the purchase of the land, feasibility studies, conceptual drawings, and other miscella-neous expenses.

It will be a multi-use facil-ity with a library and com-puter research stations but will also serve as an Six Nations’ archive for histori-cal documents, pictures and maps for public viewing, says Saunders, along with Elect-ed Band Council records and documents.

The old library building be-gan it’s life in the communi-ty as the residence of the first

on-reserve doctor to serve the people of Six Nations. Over the years it has been used three times as a library. Once in 1967, the second in the late 1970‘s, and most re-cently, in 1997. It is on a life-time lease from Band Council as long as it is a library, which means that once they leave, the building reverts back to Band Council.

There are no solid plans for the old building at this point, but despite it’s considerable age, the building is structur-ally sound and has been kept up well. Most recent exten-sive renovations came about in the very late 1990’s.

“It’s a beautiful historic building and I’m sure it will be around for generations to come,” says Saunders.

“First Nations Library Week is annually on Valen-tines Day and is intended for all the First Nation commu-nity who have libraries to be able to promote the efforts and activities we do on re-serves,” says Dr. Saunders. “It parallels with the Ontario Public Libraries Week which is in October. But instead of doing it at the same time, the First Nations Public Librar-ies decided to celebrate its libraries week in February since that is our story telling time. We felt that doing it at this time is more appropriate for us.”

There are 49 First Nations Public Libraries in the prov-ince, but this isn’t nearly as many reserves as are located within Ontario.

New Six Nations Library - it all starts with pennies

Six Nations to meet with Ontario Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs

Elected Chief William Montour will meet the new Deputy Minister for the On-tario Ministry of Aborigi-nal Affairs, Laurie LeBlanc next week. He made the an-nouncement during the Feb-ruary 15 budget deliberations.

Montour said he had a tele-phone conversation with the new Minister, David Zim-mer. Zimmer said Premier Kathleen Wynne wants the ministry to be stand-alone, something Montour applaud-ed. “We were the first First Nation he called,” said Mon-tour. “I guess the premier re-membered our last meeting.”

Montour did not share when exactly he would travel to Toronto, but said he would “look at the new structure.” In the recent past, the Ab-original Affairs portfolio was a part-time position for a se-lected cabinet minister.

Until Wynne resigned to run for leadership of the On-tario Liberal Party, she was the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs. She was sworn in as Premier on February 11, 2013.

Dumping of tobacco to be looked into

Unsubstantiated allega-tions that Six Nations staff are selling tobacco, dumped at the landfill by companies prompted Elected Coun-cil to briefly discuss how to control the product. Public Works Director Mike Mon-tour said tobacco is dumped at the landfill at least once ev-ery two days. The landfill is over capacity.

While Councillor Lewis Staats suggested all tobacco deposits be logged; while councillor ? Suggested the tobacco companies should pay a fee.

In the meanwhile, Mon-tour said he would talk to his staff about the allegations

that came forward during the budget discussions on Febru-ary 15.

Budget DeliberationsThe fate of a number of

deficit budgets will be deter-mined next Thursday, Febru-ary 21 in the afternoon, after Elected Council reviews the Ontario First Nation Lottery Partnership (OFNLP) budget.

Parks and Recreation, Public Works, the Fire De-partment and Central Ad-ministration are all in line for a financial boost from the OFNLP funds, as all the de-partments anticipate running a deficit in the upcoming fis-cal year.

The departments had all submitted their budget wish lists between February 14 and 15 after council set aside the dates for deliberations. Orig-inally the presentations were to be in camera, but that deci-sion was changed.

Those departments which had balanced budgets – and no deficits – did not encoun-

ter problems getting approv-al.

Senior Administrative Of-ficer Dayle Bomberry said his department will be looking at restructuring in order to find some cost savings.

Incinerator updateElected Chief William

Montour advised the Febru-ary 19 meeting of Elected Council he expected Six Na-tions councillors would be in-vited out to Nova Scotia to see the new incinerator in ac-tion sometime over the next few weeks.

“The machine is assem-bled,” said Montour. He said he had talked to John Kearns that morning, and was told all th components were on the site and ready to go. The ma-chine is being built outside, and bad weather has slowed the process down.

Once councillors see the incinerator in action – and like what they see, the incin-erator will be brought to Six Nations.

The stone-worker said he was happy to train anybody who is interested in learning the art, which he described as a process of trial and effort more than anything else. A Haldimand County resident, Moerschfelder said he began to learn how to work flint af-ter he found “a ball of points”

on land that was to be the site of a landfill in Cayuga town-ship.

A well-driller by profes-sion, and a long-standing amateur archeologist in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Moerschfelder had decided to walk the site of a proposed landfill in South Cayuga,

where he found the projectile points. In 1982, the provin-cial government recognized him for the find.

Moerschfelder said he could make a small point in about fifteen minutes, but if he wanted to make a larger point, it could take as long as six hours.

Six Nations Rebel’s head coach Stew Monture is walk-ing away from a possible un-precedented third consecutive Jr. B Founder’s Cup win with the Six Nations Rebels to roll the dice behind the bench of the new OLA Sr. B, Six Na-tions Rivermen this coming summer lacrosse season.

“We’ve been see-ing an overflow of juniors coming out of Jr. B who have kinda fallen into that grey area,” says Monture. “Those who have passed their Jr. el-igibility and, for whatever reason, don’t want to play at the Sr. A level (the Chiefs) or the Can/Am (Slash) are caught in limbo.”

The initial shop-ping list for poten-tial players is loaded with well known names from the Jr. B Rebels and Jr. A Ar-rows ranks as well as from the two CLax winter league teams. These players will al-ready be in game shape when the new Sr. B season begins April 21st.”

“That represents 40 or 50 guys,” says General Manag-er Marty Staats, “and there hasn’t been men’s Sr. B la-

crosse here for a couple of years.”

There are also spots avail-able to walk-on players when the Rivermen training camp begins at the Iroquois La-crosse Arena, February 26th. Rather than wait for the ice to come out of the Gaylord Powless Arena, camp will be held on the carpet at the ILA in stead.

With the list of names they hope to draw from, the Riv-ermen will likely hit the floor running and will experience very little if any transition into the league and the execu-tive team hopes the Rivermen will be a contender right off the get-go.

The Sr. B plays under the same rules as the Jr. A and Jr. B, following the National Lacrosse League. The Sr. B

league now consists of seven teams.

Most of the players on the list of hopefuls have experi-ence playing on the GPA hard surface so coach Monture doesn’t expect any problems with players getting used to the hard floor as opposed to the carpet at the ILA.

Monture believes that most, if not all, the other

teams in the Sr. B also play on the hard surface.

“We just like the atmosphere here at the GPA,” says Staats.

“Some peo-ple like to watch games here too,” adds Monture.

Before the floor at the GPA was re-paired there was a chronic problem of the floor sweating to the point where some games had to be canceled or rescheduled. Sta-

ats and Monture believe that problem has been rectified.

Lacrosse Hall of Famer, Cap Bomberry, the executive president of the new team, Staats and others began their work on bringing Sr. B back to Six Nations last October following the Nations Cup series.

The St. Regis Braves won the Sr. B league champion-ship the past two years and

the Rivermen are confident they can overthrow the cham-pions in their first season of operation. Time will tell, but on paper anyhow, that ap-pears to be a very strong pos-

sibility.The Six Nations Slash

represented the Sr. Can/Am league last year and operates in close relationship with the OLA Sr. B, but as a separate

league.Bomberry believes that as

a Sr. B team there is an auto-matic affiliation with the Jr. B Rebels and the Major Sr. A Chiefs.

Sr. B Rivermen hope to hit the ground running


By Jim WindleCALEDONIA/KITCHENER

The Caledonia Corvairs had a very busy week in GO-JHL Jr. B hockey action play-ing four games in five nights. But not as busy as Kitchener Dutchmen goalie Marc Wil-liams.

Tuesday night, Caledonia was in Kitchener in the back half of a home-and-home se-ries with the Dutchmen.

Jeff Swift scored the only goal of the first period on a powerplay at 15:55 assisted by Greg Christmas and Matt Quilty despite pummeling Kitchener goalie Marc Wil-

liams with 21 shots compared to 10 shots which Caledonia starter Marcus DelConte was called upon to handle in the same time frame.

Caledonia continued to fire 18 shots to 8, but af-ter 40 minutes the Corvairs were behind 2-1 in goals, but ahead 39 to 18 in shots on goal.

The pattern continued in the third with Caledonia throwing everything they had at Williams, and they were fi-nally rewarded at 14:39 when Ryan Blunt scored from Matt Quilty to tie the game at 2-2.

Kitchener put on some pressure and with 3:10 left in the game, Brandon Montour

and Brett Clampitt locked horns and were each assessed two minute roughing minors. Clampitt was also singled out for playing without a helmet and given a gross miscon-duct.

Caledonia got a chance to put the game away when Kitchener’s Keli Grant was whistled for boarding, giv-ing the Corvairs the last two minutes of the game with an extra attacker.

But Williams stood firm and sent the game into over-time. With 53 seconds re-maining in the OT period, Kitchenr’s Clayton Greer ended the assault on his goal-ie by winning the game 3-2.

In the end, Williams faced 60 shots in total compared to DelConte’s 31, but it was Kitchener who walked away with the extra point.

Monday night in Cale-donia the Corvairs dropped a 4-3 decision thanks to an unassisted Dutchmen goal scored by Matt Papineau with 11 seconds remaining in the third period.

After Kitchener opened the game with goals at 2:00 and 8:48, the Corvairs came to life to even the score with answers from Mate Mitton and Brandon Montour. Bri-er Jonathan assisted on Mit-ton’s goal with Tyler Norrie and Adam Brady providing the helpers for Montour’s goal.

By Jim WindleBRANTFORD

The Orillia Tundras of the Sr. A Allan Cup Hock-ey League were tarred and feathered Sunday after-noon at the Brantford Civ-ic Centre by the Brantford Blast who humiliated them 14-2.

That was preceded by Friday night’s 6-2 Brant-ford win in Orillia. Pret-ty well everyone but the trainer was in on Sunday’s thrashing as 15 players add-ed points to their records, led by former NHL’er Joel Prpic with four goals.

Cam Sault picked up two goals and two assists in Sunday win. He did not dress Friday night.

Friday night’s game was a bit more respectable for the Tundras, at least com-pared to Sunday. Brant-ford was held to 2 goals in the first period despite out shooting Orillia 15-6.

It was 4-1 after two pe-riods and in the third, Brantford added two more allowing one.

Brantford outshot Oril-lia a total of 86-45 in the two meetings this week and

outscored them 20-4.The Blast have now com-

pleted their regular season on top of the league with 42 points by way of a 20-2-1-1 record. Checking line centre, New Credit’s Cam Sault, ends the regular sea-son with 8 goals, and 16 as-sists in 21 games played.

Brantford Blast’s into the playoffs with 20 goals in last 2 games



The Six Nations Men’s Hockey League (aka the Bush league) closed out its 2013 regular season on Thursday night at the Gaylord Powless Arena with games that saw the Silverhawks go up against the Spoilers in the first game, followed by the Smoothtown Bruins taking on the Spirits.

By the end of the night, the playoff match ups were set and the league’s scoring championship was deter-mined.

The spoilers edged out the Silverhawks 7-6 in the first game, in a closely played af-fair between the league’s top two teams. Going in, the Sil-verhawks were 11-3-0 for 22 points while the Spoilers car-ried a 10-4-0 record for 20 points.

The score was tied 2-2 af-ter the first frame, with Silver-hawk goals going to Derrick Anderson, unassisted, and Bob Henry from Anderson and Les Smith.

A goalmouth scramble re-

sulted in the Silverhawks tak-ing a 3-2 lead, but he Spoilers tied it again at 3-3.

Sandy Porter made it 4-3 for the Spoilers before the second period ended.

The Silverhawks were buzzing around the Spoiler’s net in some sustained pres-sure, but it was the Spoil-ers’ Jake Hill who brought the puck out of the Spoilers’ zone and beat Dallas Ander-son at the other end of the ice to make it 5-3 to that point. Porter and Cam Patterson as-sisted.

Porter scored his second of the game with a shot along the ice that made it into the bot-tom stick side, just inside the post.

The Silverhawks respond-ed with Moe Midgely’s goal scored with three minutes left.

They pulled Anderson for an extra attacker which paid off with 1:34 remaining, bringing the S-hawks to with-in one goal. There was lots of action around the Spoilers net as time began to run out, how-ever, it was the Spoilers who put the game on ice with an

empty netter.Top gunner for the Silver-

hawks was Tim Bomberry with two goals, Bob Henry and Darrick Anderson each scored one and assisted on two more.

Leading the Spoilers were Jake Hill and Mark Johnson, both with two goals and two assists. Cam Patterson scored once and assisted on two.

The Spoilers win caused league convener Peewee Green to do a little math-ematics to see who would face whom when the play-offs begin Thursday night at the GPA.

The two teams ended the season with identical 11-4-0 records, however, the Spoil-ers have won one more game against the Silverhawks in regular season play. As a re-sult, the Spoilers finish on top.

In the second game of the night, the Bruins and the Spir-its had a good old fashioned barnburner. When the smoke cleared, the Spirits outlasted the Bruins 11-10 for their only win of the season.

Each team had only one

spare on the bench, but it was an exciting end of the regular season nonetheless.

The two teams traded goals all night as goalies Chaz Montour in the Bruins net and Dion Jonathan for the Spirits were left to fend for themselves most of the game.

Heath Hill and Delby Pow-less led the Spirit charge. Hill accumulated four goals and five assists while Powless scored four and assisted on four. John Monture scored three and added three assists. Also picking up points for

the Spirits were Brandon Hill (1G,3A), Travis Hill (2A) and Josh Powless (2A).

The Bruin’s offence was driven by #43, only iden-tified as Merv, with three goals and three assists. Ian Martin scored three and as-sisted on one while Mitch Green scored once and as-sisted on six. Bruin’s #7 and Cam Sault each scored once and assisted on four. Scotty VanEvery scored one and as-sisted on one.

The first round of the play-offs begins this Thursday

night as a best of three series which will see the Spoilers and Bruins matched up and the Silverhawks do battle with the Spirits. First game begins at 8 pm with the sec-ond to follow at 9 pm.

Silverhawk’s Marty Hill wins the league regular sea-son scoring title with 14 goals and 24 assists for 38 points.

Dean Hill finishes second (20G,17A), and Sandy Porter comes in third with 25 goals and 9 assists. Ian Martin is fourth with 18 goals and 13 assists.

By Jim WindleST. CATHARINES

The Ohsweken Demons would love to have the first half of Monday nights game back, after being murdered 20-11 by the Niagara Lock Monsters in St. Catharines. The Monsters had a 4-1 edge after the first quar-ter but completely bowled over the Demons, 10-2, in the disastrous second quar-ter, making it a 14-3 game at the half.

After half time, the De-mons got their feet under them and kept stride with the Monsters, even out scor-ing them 8-6 in the second half, but it would prove to

be far too big of a mountain to clime as the Demons re-cord fell to 4-3 after seven games played — still good for second place behind the Toronto Shooting stars.

Niagara is now third place only two points be-hind Ohsweken but have two games in hand, as do the Stars.

There was at total of 54 points distributed amongst the Lock Monsters with three players tallying sev-en point games and another with six. Six Nations’ Kim Squire, who plays with the Monsters, scored three and assisted on two for a five point night.

Once the the Demons re-

covered from the first half, Wayne VanEvery scored three and assisted on three to pace the Demons. Kyle Isaacs scored two and as-sisted on two while Delby Powless scored one and as-sisted on three.

Jeff Powless had a tough game allowing 14 goals on 45 shots before being re-placed by back up, Randy Johnson who allowed 6 goals on 9 shots.

Connor Danko went the distance in the Niagara goal.

These same Niagara Lock Monsters hosted the Iroquois Ironmen Tuesday night. There was no final score to report by deadline.

Demons have disastrous first half


Keegan Calder connected on a powerplay for Kitchener at 10:14 but Mitton respond-ed with a shorthander assist-ed by Montour and Norrie.

It looked like OT was in the cards as the third period wound down, but Papinaeau found a loos puck and bur-ied it at 19:48 for the regular time win.

Saturday evening at the Sl-eeman Centre in Guelph, the Corvairs easily handled the Guelph Hurricanes, 4-1, al-though the score was no indi-cation of the lopsidedness of the game. The Corvairs out-shot Guelph 53-19 and had it not been the superhuman effort of Hurricane goalten-der Jason DaSilva this game could easily have been dou-

ble digets.Despite being outshot

16-9, Guelph scored the only goal of the first period, which Matt Quilty equaled on a powerplay at 13:42 of the second period assisted by Jeff Swift and Brandon Montour.

The Hurricanes could only manage a light breeze in the third and were only able to di-rect four shots toward Marcus DelConte in the Caledonia net while DaSilva faced 18.

Spencer Gourlay, Montour, and Ryan Blunt tallied in the period with assists earned by Montour, Connor Murphy, Adam Brady, Simon Blyth, Swift and Leonard Dziemi-anko.

The Caledonia penalty kill-ers prevented a single goal on six Guelph powerplays, while

the Corvair powerplay unit went 2 for 8.

It took a shoot out with the Waterloo Siskins to determine the 4-3 winner at the Hal-dimand Arena as the Caledo-nia Pro-Fit Corvairs on Friday night. The Corvairs came out on top to take the two point win.

The Corvairs had to fight back from a 3-0 deficit to take the game into overtime.

The were behind 2-0 after the first 20 minutes of play and 3-0 early in the second. But then the tide turned.

Caledonia goaltender Jus-tis Husak put a lock on the door from that moment on to give his team enough time to mount their comeback.

Connor Murphy got Cale-donia on the scoresheet at

3:32 with a powerplay mark-er assisted by Brandon Mon-tour and Trevor Atkinson. Marc Silvestri added anoth-er at 4:08 assisted by Simon Blythe and Murphy.

The score stayed that way until 17:30 of the third peri-od when Tyler Norrie scored shorthanded with Murphy in the penalty box serving 2

minutes for goalie Interfer-ence.

There was no scoring through the extra period which set up for the shoot-out. Adam Brady and Murphy made good on their attempts while Husak kept all Waterloo shooters at bay.

The regular season con-cludes for the Corvairs with

a home-and -home series with the Listowel Cyclones begin-ning this Friday night at 7:30 in Caledonia followed by Sat-urday night’s rematch in Lis-towel.

Meanwhile Cambridge closes out their regular sea-son Saturday night in Cam-bridge against the Elmira Sugar Kings.

WINNIPEG _ Police in Winnipeg say they're shut-ting down a national tipline that was set up to gath-er information on a drift-er accused of killing three women.

The phone line was set up last summer to assist inves-tigators in the case of Shawn Cameron Lamb.

Lamb is accused of sec-ond-degree murder in the deaths of three aboriginal women.

The line was set up in part to determine whether he might be connected to any unsolved cases across Can-ada.

In October, police said dozens of people had called the tipline with details that in

some instances prompted in-vestigators to interview pre-vious callers.

Anyone who may still have information is being asked to call Crime Stoppers or the Winnipeg police homi-cide unit, which continues to investigate.

Lamb is accused of killing Tanya Nepinak, Carolyn Sin-clair and Lorna Blacksmith.

Blacksmith, 18, was found dead in January 2012. Sin-clair, 25, died last March. Both bodies were found wrapped in plastic near gar-bage bins.

Nepinak's body has never been found. It's believed the 31-year-old was dumped in a garbage bin that was emp-tied in the Brady landfill

just south of the city. Police searched a section of the landfill, but found no sign of her.

Lamb's arrest in June prompted renewed calls from aboriginal leaders for a national inquiry on miss-ing and murdered aboriginal women. The federal govern-ment has rejected the idea.

It might have been cold outside on Wednesday February 13, but the Junior Co-ed Dis-trict Basketball Tournament taking place inside Emily C. General's gymnasium helped heat things up. Six schools participated in the tournament, which culminated in a championship game. In this picture, the action between teams from Emily C. General (yellow tops) and Lloyd S. King (red tops) was fast and furious. Lloyd S. King won that game with a score of 20 versus 14 for Emily C. General. Oliver M. Smith came out on top by the end of the day, beating I.L. Thomas in the championship game with a score of 24 to 5. (Photograph by Stephanie Dearing).

Winnipeg police shutting down tipline on drifter accused of killing three women



Two different events brought the sounds of heal-ing music to the commu-nity Saturday. Six Nations Polytechnic hosted an event called “Rising Above Illu-sion,” while just down the road at Chiefswood Chris-tian Fellowship well over

100 people gathered to cel-ebrated the life of the be-loved late Earl Sault, former pastor of the New Credit Church.

Brothers Cecil and Phil Sault were very pleased with the turnout for their brother.

While the memorial for Earl Sault was a joyously boisterous event, with two of his brothers leading things

off with some toe-tapping bluegrass; the event at Poly-technic was a little more sol-emn, yet just as harmonious and uplifting. At Polytech, the music of Juno award winner Errol Starr Francis and his good friend, David Hickey filled the great room, bringing peace to partici-pants.

Francis and Hickey are “sound healers,” and they donated their time Saturday for the event organized by Jane Burning. Hickey plays healing music with quartz crystal bowls and paiste gongs.

“The purpose is to inspire people to a higher vibration,” said Burning, who runs Ho-listic Consulting Services. “When people have things happen, they tend to have a lower vibration.” Burning said she expected to see tears during the event, explaining, “Tears are a part of letting go, a part of releasing.”

Burning said we have en-tered what she called the Golden Age, which she ex-plained was a shift in con-

sciousness. “It's time to raise our consciousness. We don't need to be a victim to our circumstances.”

Burning said the illusion is pain. “We're really not victims unless we choose to play that role,” she said before she introduced the musicians. “This event was

created for all races ... for us all to connect on a soul level, a higher vibrational level.”

Participants came to Poly-technic prepared with blan-kets and cushions. The sound healing session con-cluded with food and a social gathering.

Meanwhile, at Chiefs-

wood Fellowship Church, the hosts had difficulty find-ing chairs for all the people who came. The crowd in-cluded talented musicians, who took turns playing songs and telling jokes. The afternoon's remembrance of Earl Sault concluded with a supper.

The young Rowan Smith stole everyone’s hearts when he performed at the memorial jam for Earl Sault at Chiefswood Christian Fellowship church on Saturday. He had a cold, and was concerned about what he would sing, explained his grandfather, Bill. He sang ‘This Little Light of Mine’ sweetly and smoothly, but his voice got away on him when he sang another song, a performance that endured the young lad to the audience.
