A little plot of land located

at 431 West Street in Brant-ford could turn into a much bigger deal than anyone ex-pected after a Brantford City Council vote to put the prop-erty up for tax sale was ap-proved by the narrowest of margins.

The council was divided on the issue but the motion passed 5-4 with three coun-cillors away, including May-or Friel.

The latest vote overturned an earlier decision made by the operations and admin-istration committee to seek further legal advice. The motion was twofold. One was whether to seek further legal advice before deciding what to do about the proper-ty, the other was that if they chose not to seek further ad-vice, the sale would be ap-proved by council.

The way the motion was worded, if a councillor vot-ed not to get more legal ad-vice since they had already sought and received advice not to step into a matter they could not solve at the mu-nicipal level, seeing it as a further waste of money, in doing so he or she also voted to sell the property.

It is a complicated issue. The property is technically owned now by Six Nations and according to the clear

wording of the 1997 river crossing agreement, is not taxable by the city. There was no public discussion on the issue in council before the vote was taken last week.

When a Brantford resident bequeathed his West Street property to the Six Nations Elected Band Council sev-eral years ago, the estate paid all outstanding taxes before the land was given and received by the Band Council. The Elected Coun-cil has also been maintain-ing the property with lawn cutting and snow removal since it was transferred to Six Nations.

But since that time, the city has kept the tax me-ter running and it now tops $40,000 which Brantford thinks is owing on the prop-erty. Elected Band Coun-cil Chief Bill Montour disagrees and is angered they would try to tax Six Nations land, whether it is within the city or not.

Also potentially going on the sales block is another property at 110 Gilkinson Street which was willed to the Mohawk Nation by a city resident. According to the city, that property is also owing taxes in arrears. The city is still trying to sort out what to do with the Gilkin-son situation since it does not fall under Band Coun-cil’s jurisdiction.

“I mentioned the Gilkin-

son Street property to Ha-zel Hill of the HDI and they said that they were dealing with it,” said Chief Montour. “They have alerted the city that one Nation can not tax another Nation and they will be dealing with that so we are not stepping on toes.”

But the West Street prop-erty is another story which

Montour is very serious about protecting.

“That is becoming a real issue,” he said. “I notice that Brantford City Council is quite divided over that. But I have to congratulate Chris Friel because he is re-alizing now, and as he told his council recently, we’re dealing with a governing

entity that is a higher au-thority than us. We are fed-eral, they’re provincial. He’s starting to get the message, I believe, that Six Nations is not just another regular tax payer. Lands held in trust as we see in Part #9 of the 1997 agreement, are not to be taxed. We have appealed to the Ontario Municipal As-

sessment Board to make that exemption work.”

According to city offi-cials, the soonest the prop-erty will go on the block is September, unless City Council changes its mind again and chooses to accept that 431 West Street is Six Nations land and therefor not taxable.

Sale of Six Nations property in Brantford becoming at hot potato

Elected Chief Bill Montour will not accept Brantford’s decision to sell land located at 431 West Street in Brantford be-queathed to Six Nations by a city resident many years ago. He is calling upon a 1997 agreement with the city which clearly states that any land held in trust for Six Nations will not be taxed. (Photo by Jim Windle)


By Stephanie DearingOHSWEKEN

The Rouge National Park, the Pickering Airport and Ontario Place are all devel-opments of interest for the Confederacy Chiefs Council,

Haudenosaunee Develop-ment Institute (HDI) lawyer and board director Aaron De-tlor told a small audience of community members during HDI's second community in-formation meeting.

The organization, which works for the Six Nations Confederacy Chiefs Coun-cil on development issues, is also interested in participat-ing in the County of Brant-Brantford boundary talks. “We're pursuing a better pro-cess,” Detlor stressed repeat-edly. “They can't keep putting Haudenosaunee concerns in a box where they don't fit.” He said it is difficult to participate in processes set out by others.

HDI and the Chiefs Coun-cil are working on “protecting land and creating opportuni-ties for work,” said Detlor.

But when asked about Line 9, Detlor did not give a con-crete response about how HDI is working to protect the land.

“We objected to Line 9,” said Detlor, adding HDI was opposed to the process that was involved more than any-

thing else. HDI had applied for funding from the National Energy Board to be a partici-pant in the public hearings for

Enbridge's application to re-verse Line 9, but “we're not eligible for funding to par-ticipate in the hearings,” said Detlor. He said they weren't sure they wanted to partici-pate anyway because the gov-ernment often ignores public input. “It's a shell game. All the decision-making authority rests with the government.”

HDI is not happy that the creation of the Rouge Na-tional Park is forging ahead without even consulting the Haudenosaunee. “Cana-da, Ontario and Toronto are making arrangements about land swaps, land deals ... all that deals with land rights.” Detlor said there are arche-ological traces of former Haudenosaunee villages in the area. “They're aware of it. They're trying to keep pretending it doesn't exist,” he said.

The construction of the Pickering Airport at the north-east end of the Greater Toronto area has also struck a nerve. When the Confed-eracy Council was negotiating Six Nations land claims with Canada, the government “told us they had no land,” said De-tlor. He said there is 18,000 acres of land available, both agricultural and forested, and all lies within Haudenosaunee territory. “It's disturbing to see Ontario and Canada de-cided to put the airport there,” he said. If the airport pro-ceeds, it would wipe out har-vesting he said.

Detlor said that HDI hopes “at the least we will put them on notice there needs to be a better process.”

If HDI gets its way, each road improvement project underway in southern Ontario up to 2016 will have an arche-ological and environmental monitor, said Detlor. He said HDI wants to have monitors

on all the road improvement projects that will take place across the province as a way to get people jobs.

Detlor also said that HDI will be putting the Province of Ontario and Toronto on notice that there has been “no en-gagement whatsoever” with HDI about Ontario Place. He said a decision had been re-cently made about what to do with Ontario Place, which is located in Toronto and also lies within the 1701 Nanfan Treaty area.

HDI has about 30 archeo-logical and environmental monitors they employ, al-though the developers ac-tually pay the wages of the monitors. Detlor said the or-ganization wants to not only maintain the program, but to double the number of moni-tors working.

The Confederacy Chiefs Council has now made three

agreements with developers, and Interim Executive Direc-tor of HDI, Hazel Hill said a mediated tentative settlement with a fourth company will be presented to the Chiefs at the July meeting. She did not re-veal any of the details about the agreement, but said mon-ey from the first two agree-ments went towards funding the monitor program and the clean-up of Kanonhstaton.

Hill wouldn't say how how many companies HDI is working with at present, only saying there are a number of different companies. Det-lor was a little more specific. “We probably have anywhere from 10 to 15 negotiations” underway, he said. Green en-ergy “has been the bulk of the work,” although Detlor point-ed out the province has shifted its position on green energy, which may impact on future projects.

Hill said “a financial pro-cess is still being developed” for the money that is antici-pated to come in from devel-opment agreements. “They will be set into a separate account and [Confederacy Chiefs] Council will decide how to deal” with the money, she said. She said they didn't expect funds to come in until 2015, once projects have been completed.

Currently there are HDI monitors at a number of sites, including Burtch; Sum-merhaven; Capital Power's project near Port Dover; the Kitchener-Waterloo gas site, and Samsung, which arche-ological monitor Wayne Hill said is one of the biggest projects they are monitoring at present. HDI monitors are also involved in the construc-tion of a walkway in Hamil-ton and the Jericho wind farm near Sarnia.

HDI has targets in sight, working towards a better process


HDI archeological moni-tors are now being extra vig-ilent to make sure artifacts are not being stolen from de-velopment sites after learn-ing about a Native woman who is allegedly trying to sell artifacts taken from a Samsung site in Haldimand County.

Wayne Hill, an archeolog-ical monitor with the Haude-nosaunee Development Institute (HDI) said he had learned a woman had tried to sell artifacts to Iroqrafts, but the person approached refused to even look at the offering, let alone negotiate with the woman.

Hill said the Iroqraft em-ployee had contacted him to let him know about the in-cident and potential theft of artifacts. According to Hill, the Native woman who was trying to sell the artifacts had claimed to have worked as an archeological monitor at a Samsung site recently, and named other people working

at the site.“We're going over the sit,

making sure things are still there,” Hill said.

If the woman was trying to sell stolen artifacts, “she could be charged under the Ontario Heritage Act,” Hill said.

HDI had reported the inci-dent to the police. “We have a good idea who she is,” said Hill.

It is believed the suspect was working for Six Na-tions of the Grand River at the Samsung site after The Albert Group had found placements for a number of archeological monitors through the Six Nations Eco Center.

Normally The Albert Group provides account-ing services, but the busi-ness had briefly branched into providing placements for archeological monitors. Tekawennake has learned that The Albert Group has stopped providing it's ar-cheological monitor place-ment service due to unstated problems.

Possible theft of artifacts has HDI monitors on alert


By Jim WindleWESTOVER, ON

Twenty protesters, most-ly non-Native environmen-talists, were arrested at the Westover Line 9 Reversal Pumping Station near Hamil-ton, Wednesday morning. The group occupied the site last week and sent the Enbridge workers home. As expected, Enbridge secured an injunc-tion which Hamilton Regional Police enforced.

One protester, Ngo-madaas Paradis was arrested with the group and had his Gustoweh removed by police.

“Having my headdress re-moved forcefully by Hamil-ton PD is probably the most humiliating thing I have ever had done to me. I feel my re-galia was desecrated in this act but my spirit is far from broken,” he said after he was booked and released.

No one from Six Nations was arrested.

Enbridge, the company in charge of delivering raw bi-tumen oil from the Alberta Oil Sands across Canada and into the USA through its pipe-line network, has a slogan. “Where Energy and People Meet.”

It would appear that that meeting place is the wallet. A recent CBC special report revealed that communities along the controversial pipe-line path across Ontario are being “gifted” with tens of thousands of dollars.

So far, Enbridge has oiled the machine with $44,410 to

areas most likely to be dam-aged by a spill.

Environmental activist Da-vid Prychitka from Hamilton, was amongst 60 protesters at the Line 9 pumping station near the small community of Westover when they arrived at 6:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

Protesters told construction workers that their day was done and set up a tent commu-nity outside the construction gate and another at the main gate of the lane way leading into the pumping station site.

The group of environmen-tally concerned protesters in-clude Six Nations activists Ruby and Floyd Montour, John Garlow, Wes and Missy Elliott.

Work on site to retrofit the existing pumping station is to get the 40 year old equip-ment ready to begin the flow of heavy oil going in the op-posite direction of the present flow.

Enbridge employees soon left taking several pieces of heavy equipment with them, leaving on site a small crew of security personnel, which was fine with the protesters.

“We are here to oppose the line reversal, but more broad-ly, to oppose Enbridge's colo-nial policies and the tar sands themselves,” said Prychitka. “The way we have seen the Keystone and Norther Gate-way projects opposed, Line 9 is the front line for anti-tar sands resistance in southern Ontario.

“Right now the National Energy Board and the Harper

Government have just been rubber stamping this project and the construction is already under way to make this poten-tially devastating and prob-lematic project go ahead.”

Tar sands oil is bottle necked in Alberta so these pipelines are expected to pro-vide cheap and easy ways to get more of it out to foreign markets.

The protesters say that a number of Indigenous com-munities this project affects have not been given their free, prior and informed consent.

There are also many exist-ing environmental concerns as well.

According to research done by anti-pipeline activists, En-bridge is averaging one spill every five days along the course of the pipeline across Canada.

“They had 800 spills in an 11 year period from 1999 to

2010,” says Prychitka. “Nine-ty-nine percent of these spills have been around pumping stations and terminals like this, so this Westover area is at serious risk of an oil spill.”

In Battle Creak Michigan, a pipeline of the same age and model as the Line 9 pipeline recently spilled 800,000-gal-lons of raw oil into the Kalam-azoo River in July of 2010.

Recently, the National Transportation Safety Board blamed the Battle Creek spill on the failure of the pipeline operator, Enbridge Inc., to fol-low its own safety rules.

"We believe that the expe-rienced personnel involved in the decisions made at the time of the release were trying to do the right thing. As with most such incidents, a series of unfortunate events and cir-cumstances resulted in an out-come no one wanted," Patrick Daniel, Enbridge's CEO, said

in a media statement.The Westover site is with-

in the Beverly Swamp area which is a very important part of the Ontario watershed which feeds in to the Spencer Creak, which feeds Coots Par-adise, the largest wetland at the western end of Lake On-tario, and is a beautiful green space with much biodiversity, and eventually into Lake On-tario.

“A spill in this area would be devastating,” says Pry-chitka.

But some area farmers don’t seem to be concerned at all about it, believing En-bridge’s public relations peo-ple when they say there is little danger and that Enbridge would move quickly to mit-igate the problem should an accident occur.

“I am not in favour of the protest,” said one farmer ad-jacent to the driveway into

the pump station. “These are my neighbours and have been for 30 years and are rock solid people.” His advice to the pro-testers it to take it to the Lord in prayer.

The numbers have been steadily growing at the Westo-ver protest location, and on Tuesday morning an injunc-tion was served.

Some activists intend to leave when police come to en-force that injunction, expected later in the day Tuesday, while others are hunkered down in a location closer to the sta-tion itself, saying they will not leave.

There will be an informa-tion meeting this Friday, June 28th at 7 p.m. at the Six Na-tions Community Hall Sports Den where activists and envi-ronmental spokespeople will explain the danger and answer any questions about the pipe-line or the protest.


Elected council exploring benefits of in-house legal

departmentSix Nations Elected Coun-

cil has decided to explore the option of having an in-house legal department to see if there might be any cost sav-ings to be found.

The recommendation of Six Nations member and solicitor Jay Hill to review council's spending on legal fees for anywhere from two to five years was not well re-ceived. Hill had suggested to council's Committee of the Whole on June 17 that he conduct the review to see if Six Nations has been getting good value for it's money.

“Most First Nations don't

ask questions about their le-gal bills,” he said, receiving the support of District Four Councillor Helen Miller, who agreed with him.

But District Two Council-lor Roger Jonathan said he thought such a review would be a waste of money, partic-ularly because Jay Hill does not have expert knowledge of different types of law.

In the end, Elected Council opted to draft terms of refer-ence and create a budget with the goal of hiring someone who will do the analysis be-fore a decision is made.

Jay Hill, who has recently returned to Canada from Aus-tralia, told the Committee he is interested in the contract, but would not mind if council put out a tender for the posi-tion. He also advised coun-

cil that they would still need to retain outside lawyers and law firms to handle court cas-es.

Bingo troubles to be discussed

Complaints from constitu-ents over how the Bingo hall is operating, which include the high cost of machines, will be looked into at a future meeting of council's Com-mittee of the Whole. Elected Council passed a resolution requesting that Matt Jamie-son, Director of Economic Development and Chair of the Gaming Commission, Sid Henhawk, attend to provide a report.

Councillor Ross Johnson (District Three) said he has received complaints that the machines are expensive, and

that the operations seem to be “catering to non-native” guests. Johnson also said he was told if anyone complains to the management, they are given a complimentary gift. “Some people are bragging about making over $300 a month” from complimentary

gifts, he said.District Two Councillor

Ava Hill said she had also heard from constituents, and asked that the complaints be forwarded to Matt Jamieson so he could address the issues in his report.

Roger Jonathan (District

Three) reminded his col-leagues that there had been concerns raised about the operation of the Bingo hall during budget discussions, and those concerns had not yet been addressed. He did not elaborate on the nature of the issue.

By Jim WindleSIX NATIONS

Bill 186 passed in Ontar-io last year has now been incorporated as part of the Ontario Tobacco Tax Act. Federally, they have created a task force of 40 or more officers to crack down on so-called “contraband ciga-rettes”.

Elected Chief Bill Mon-tour is not happy with that decision.

“To me, there is no such thing as ‘contraband ciga-rettes’”, he says. “That is a part of our economy and I think Canada has to come to realize, as well as Ontario, that we have a right to an economy. We are prepared to go to war, in court, on that. They can’t dictate any kind of an economy for us.”

Self sufficiency for Six Nations is a matter Montour believes is essential to the very existence of Six Na-tions as a people.

“Right now they (the gov-ernment) say, you get in the business and start to become self sufficient, but you can only do it on reserve with a certain group of people de-termining who is eligible — like a status Indian — and everybody else you gotta collect taxes for us from. That’s a no-go from here. We have been saying very clear-ly for years now, we are not tax collectors for any gov-ernment and this Canadian society.”

Some have speculated that with the Ontario Bill 186 now passed, Six Nations smoke shacks will be target-ed by the OPP and forcibly shut down. Montour does not believe that will happen.

“They know better than to try and bust the smoke shops,” says Montour. “They will enforce it by trying to get the people who are buy-ing cigarettes on reserve as they come off reserve. We have been very clear with the government that if they feel there are people not paying their taxes, collect it off re-serve and don’t come around here and shut us down, be-cause you ain’t gonna.”

Montour estimates that the cigarette economy of Six Nations generated between 4,500 and 5,000 jobs in this community.

“We’re not going to roll over and let them take that away,” he says.

Last year along Highway #6 the OPP was stopping customers leaving smoke shops and charging them. That only lasted a couple of weeks because they found the practice was not cost ef-

ficient to conduct long term and did very little to curb the sale of Native cigarettes in any significant numbers.

Chief Montour believes that this latest threat of po-lice intervention is just an-other show for the masses and will be short lived if in fact it is practiced at all.

“How many millions of dollars have they spent over the last 20 years trying to get a handle on what they call ‘contraband tobacco’’’, says Montour. “It hasn’t made even a small dent in the whole thing because society is going to smoke whether the government says so or not. I don’t think the govern-ment has any right to dictate societal behaviour. They say there are health costs, but they collect enough tax off us to deal with that.”

According to Chief Mon-tour, GRE is going to pay $168 million this year in ex-cise taxes to Canada, and an-other $20 million from those working off reserve.

“I’d say between $178 and $190 million taking all things into account is going off this community and into Canada by way of taxes,” he says. “Meanwhile, the trans-fer back to Six Nations to run the reserve community is $23 million from the federal government and our contri-bution arrangement of $27 million from the province. It takes $70 million just to run the Six Nations community. That means we have to raise 49% of our need through user fees for water. The Ontario First Nations Lim-ited Partnership puts in $8 million through gaming ar-rangements, the Six Nations Gas Company, land leases,

and other avenues as well, but not nearly enough, espe-cially with a growing com-munity.”

Montour is also against the delivery charges some service providers are includ-ing in their bills to Six Na-tions residents.

“We have been having a lot of issues with this,” he says. “When we fought against the HST being im-posed on us in 2010, we got Ontario and Canada —two governments — to agree that that would not happen to any services coming to the Six Nations. But there are still pockets of resistance within the business community that do not want to recognize it.”

So what can a Six Na-tions resident do about being billed for delivery of servic-es to Six Nations Territory?

“I’ve got draft letters in my office for anyone who has problems with the col-lection of tax on telephone bills, hydro bills, outside ca-ble and internet bills. Those services should all come to Six Nations free of any tax.”

Is it too late to do anything about the gasoline tax here on reserve?

“Gasoline is another is-sue that we’re going to have to get our heads around be-cause as I have said and it is documented, anything com-ing to Six Nations whether it is wired, trucked, dropped, carried, or by any other means, when it come here it comes free of taxes.

“Gasoline is coming here and we are getting 14.7 cents taken off a litre of gas. I want to know where the rest of it is going, because there is about 34 cents per litre go-ing to taxes.”

Will bill 186 affect Six Nations smoke shop economy?

“To me, there is no such thing as ‘contraband cigarettes’” - Elected Chief Bill Montour

Study finds poverty rates of status Indian children shockingly highBy Stephanie DearingOTTAWA

A new study on Indigenous poverty turned up some numbers that most Canadians are bound to find shocking; but for those people who were the subjects of the study, the information is nothing new. Six Nations members, for example, are well aware that their unemployment and welfare rates are higher than those of neighbouring communities.

The two organizations who commissioned the report, 'Poverty or Prosperity,' are using the data as a rallying cry and calling on Canadians to take action. "It is time to work together-communities, civil society, governments, and the private sector-to ensure that Indigenous children grow up in happier and healthier communities and have the relevant education and opportunity to help build stronger, more prosperous communities,” said Patricia Erb, Presi-dent and CEO of Save the Children.

Save the Children partnered with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives on the study, which was completed by economist David MacDonald and Indigenous rights activist Daniel Wilson.

In their executive summary, MacDonald and Wilson wrote, “We are working for a future in which every child living in Canada has an equal chance and where Indigenous communities have control of their own destinies. The failure of ongoing policies is clear. The link between the denial of basic rights for Indigenous children and their poverty is equally clear. Failure to act will result in a more difficult, less productive, and shorter life for Indigenous children. A different life is possible for Indigenous children in Canada. The choice is ours.”

The authors have calculated it would cost Canada $7.5 billion to bring all Indigenous children up to the poverty line, and suggest the best way to do that is through increasing the amount of money given to parents through the National Child Benefit Supplement.

“Indigenous children trail the rest of Canada’s children on practically every measure of well-being: family income, educational attainment, poor water quality, infant mortality, health, suicide, crowding and homelessness,” wrote MacDonald and Wilson. “For example, Status First Nations children living in poverty are three times more likely to live in a house that re-quires major repairs compared to the non-Indigenous children of families with similar income levels, and five times more likely to live in an overcrowded house.”

The report was released just days before National Aboriginal Day, a day intended to cel-ebrate the accomplishments of First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.

The mouse is roaring againWell it looks like the mouse is roaring again at Kanata Village. The Ka-nyen-geh-

ha-kah (Mohawk) Grand River Territory have sent a letter to Ambassador Cho Hee-yong at the Embassy for the Republic of Korea, dated June 24, intended to bring any Samsung agreement with the Elected Band Council or the HDI into question, from an international, legal perspective.

The Kanata Mohawks are insisting that they be included in any dealings Sam-sung, or anyone else for that matter, may have for any development plans along the Haldimand Tract.

While others are busy standing in front of bulldozers and stopping development, which the Mohawks believe sometimes needs to be done, they themselves have taken another course of action.

The slower and much more methodical approach seems to be working for them to date.

We have heard others from the community say the Kanata Mohawks don’t speak for the entire Mohawk Nations and they would agree with that. But as trustees of the Haldimand Deed, as they believe they are, this small group of Mohawks and their sup-porters are causing other much larger organizations and Six Nations governments of both stripes fits as they quietly move the yard sticks ahead on the international field.

Amongst the documents and arguments to support their claims are references to the Haldimand Promise of 1779 when General Haldimand informed the Mohawks of the Crown’s intent to deliver to them land within the borders of Canada in appreciation for their “steady attachment to the King’s service and the interests of Government.”

Then, the 1784 Haldimand Deed itself, which was the fulfillment of that promise, according to the Mohawks.

Then, the July 3rd, 1797 letter when Peter Russell prorogued the Provincial Par-liament at York and issued a Crown position to Tekarihoken (Joseph Brant), as Prin-ciple Ka-nyen-geh-ha-kah Chief, in respect of Grand River allodial lands, reiterating Haldimand’s proclamation and the jurisdiction of the Gayanerekowa.

Then there’s the 1812 Sir Isaac Brock letter where Governor Brock of Upper Canada issues Governor’s Instructions respecting the alienation of allodial “Indian Lands” in Upper Canada and prorogued parliament.

All of this intended to re-establish what they believe to be General Haldimand’s original intent in issuing the Haldimand Tract to the Mohawks and “others of the Six Nations, who have either lost their settlements within the Territory of the American States, or wish to retire from them to the British.”

But then they jump ahead to 2009 and the beginnings of the Samsung agreement itself and several other “deals” made by both the Elected Band Council and the HDI on behalf of the Confederacy Chiefs, tracking every step of the process and declar-ing that it was all done “illegally” without the approval of the Mohawk Nation of the Grand River and its only legitimate Mohawk Chief, Ted Squire.

Up until lately, no one has taken this small gaggle of Mohawks at Kanata Vil-lage seriously. But after meeting with the United Nations Special Rapporteur James Anala and the Swiss Ambassador, people are beginning to take notice despite their small numbers.

Being right does not depend on how many agree with it, and the Mohawks of Kanata believe they are right and are hanging onto that belief like a pit-bull. They have even been in communication with Buckingham Palace and the Queen a number of times who has promptly responded acknowledging Squire as a legitimate principal Chief of the Mohawk Nation.

In their latest communication with Korea, dated June 24, 2013, they issue “a formal peaceful alert / advisory to Republic of Korea including a request to engage prelimi-nary discussions with party representatives in order to protect asserted and claimed interests copied to Samsung Electronics Co. CEO Dr. Oh-Hyun Kwon, Samsung CSLT CEO Sin Kim, and Six Nations’ Elected Chief Bill Montour.”

Their arguments are intriguing to say the least, especially of you like it when the underdog wins.

One should not take them too lightly. Despite their size in numbers, they have been making things happen on foreign shores just like Deskaheh did in the 1920’s while representing this same, Mohawk Workers, organization and through that, all the people of Six Nations.

To others however, they are only a fly in the ointment while they are busy wres-tling with each other and the Ontario and federal government to assume their own authority on such matters.


What is MRSA?Bacteria normally live on the human body and not all

of them cause illness or infection. For example, Staphy-lococcus aureus is one bacteria that is commonly found on the skin and in the noses of healthy people. Over time, some of these bacteria have changed and have be-come resistant to certain kinds of antibiotics. We call this methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA.

The good news about MRSA is that it can be prevented, and if a person does get it, it can be treated, especially if they see their health care provider early. The most com-mon infection caused by MRSA is skin infections, which often look like spider bites or boils.

Who gets MRSA?While MRSA infections occur most often among peo-

ple admitted to hospital and other healthcare facilities, community forms of the infection are becoming more common in Canada. It is possible to have MRSA and not be sick, however, it can still be spread to others and cause infection. Most people with the community form of MRSA have no risk factors for the infection but liv-ing in crowded areas and participating in contact sports is known to increase the risk of getting MRSA. Other people that may be at risk are those with skin conditions or people that have taken antibiotics often or for long periods of time.

How is MRSA spread?MRSA can be spread through direct physical contact

with someone who has this bacteria or through contact with objects contaminated with MRSA. If you pick up the bacteria on your hands through physical contact with an infected person or from contaminated surfaces, you can spread it to others if you don’t clean your hands properly. You can also infect yourself through an open wound on your own body.

What are the signs and symptoms?Most staph skin infections, including MRSA, appear

as a bump or infected area on the skin that may be: • Red• Swollen• Painful• Warm to the touch• Full of pus or other drainage• Accompanied by a fever

What if I suspect an MRSA skin infection?Cover the area with a bandage and contact your health-

care professional. It is especially important to contact your healthcare professional if signs and symptoms of an MRSA skin infection are accompanied by a fever.

What can I do to prevent the spread of MRSA or from getting infected?

To prevent the spread of MRSA skin infections you must:

• Wash hands frequently using either an alcohol based hand sanitizer or soap and water if hands are vis-ibly soiled. This is especially important after changing bandages or touching the infected area. By cleaning your hands you can limit the spread of the bacteria.

• Follow good hygiene practices at all times and in all settings. This includes regular bathing with soap and water and especially after participating in high contact sports.

• If you have an open sore or wound, make sure it is covered. Any open sores or wounds that are draining or have pus must be kept covered with clean, dry ban-dages. Pus or other drainage from the wound can contain MRSA, so make sure that the bandages and tape used

to cover the wound are properly discarded. If you are unable to cover the area properly, do not participate in team sports until you can do so. Do not use whirlpools or therapy pools or any other common-use water facility such as swimming pools until infections and wounds are healed.

• If any household members have open sores or infections, it is important to clean common surfaces fre-quently. Regular household cleaning products are effec-tive in removing MRSA in the home. Remember that MRSA is resistant to some antibiotics, but it can be pre-vented by following regular cleaning practices. It is im-portant to pay attention to high- touch surfaces such as doorknobs, sink faucet handles, shower handles, etc.

• Avoid sharing personal items. Bacteria can be transferred to another person through contact with items such as soap, towels, razors or washcloths, so try to avoid sharing these items. Avoid sharing sports equipment and ensure that it is washed after each use. Make sure any soiled clothing, sheets and towels are washed regularly; water and regular laundry detergent is sufficient.

Note: If you have a skin infection or develop an ab-scess it is important to see your health care provider to have it assessed. It is also important to take antibiotics only when needed and to finish all the medication.

If you have questions/concerns, please see your health care provider or

contact the Ohsweken Public Health Office @ 519-445-2672.

MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)

It's called the hidden crime, and from time to time the public hears disturbing stories about the abuse some elders ex-perience at the hands of others. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day was designated as June 15 by the United Nations General Assembly as a day for the world to voice its objections to the abuse of elders. In Six Nations, the morning of Friday June 14 was the time to focus on the prevention of elder abuse. Abuse can take many forms, from physical, such as hitting or forced confinement; to neglect and mental abuse. Elders are also often very susceptible to fraud. Constable Dave Smoke (pictured above) provided information to community members and Six Nations employees about fraud while a Bank of Montreal representative gave information on financial abuse.

The Six Nations Chiefs came out of the blocks on fire this year and ready to take on all comers for the 2013 Mann Cup. Now, with a little over half of the Major Series sea-son over, they are still on fire and still building a Mann Cup winning combination.

Thanks to this weeks 16-11 win over second place Peterborough Lakers Thurs-day night in Peterborough and Sunday’s 8-5 win over Oakville, the Chiefs hold down first place with a 9-1-1 record for 19 points.

The second place Lakers now have an 8-4-0 record having played one more game than Six Nations.

Sunday the Oakville Rock were the guests at the ILA and looked like they were going to produce the Chiefs’ second loss of the season after taking a commanding 4-1 lead while making the Chiefs look slow and vulnerable. Johnny Pow-less scored the only Six Na-tions goal at 10:04 from Marty Hill and Craig Point.

But whatever coach Rich Kilgour said in the dress-ing room between periods should be bottled and sold because the Chiefs came out and crushed all hopes for the Rock to take home the win.

Powless led the comeback when he scored his second of the game on a power play

from Roger Vyse and Kasey Beirnes at 5:19 of the second period.

The sudden power surge by the Chiefs put the Rock on their heels and the Chiefs took full advantage, scoring four more by the end of the period. Colin Doyle connect-ed from Rob Marshall at 6:55, Powless with his third of the game from Jesse Gamble at 11:24, Alex Hill from Point at 15:23 and Kasey Beirnes with a power play marker at 18:48 from Doyle and Cody Jamieson. Kirk Evans held the Rock scoreless throughout the Six Nations dominated second period.

Connor Daly scored what would be Oakville’s last goal of the game at 1:00 of the third period with Marshall off for slashing. But the Chiefs took back the momentum and Kirk kept the Rock out of the net the rest of the way.

Doyle scored from Gamble and Vyse at 13:46 and Jamie-son scored from Hill and Vyse at 19:12 for the 8-5 come from behind win.

Chiefs 16 - Lakers 11 The rivalry between the Six

Nations Chiefs and the Peter-borough Lakers over the years is legendary in the OLA Ma-jor Series. Each team seeming to turn it up a notch whenever they face each other to make for great entertainment for the fans.

Thursday was no exception as the Chiefs rolled into Pe-

terborough ready to keep the rivalry alive.

It was also a match up be-tween lacrosse legend John Grant in Peterborough, and future Six Nations’ Hall-of-Fame hopeful, Cody Jamie-son.

Grant scored just 20 sec-onds into the first period to get Laker fans into the game early. But little did they know that Jamieson was about the unleash a 10 point game to lead the Chiefs to a 16-11 road win.

Jamieson answered Grant with back-to-back goals scored at 1:44, unassisted, and at 4:25 from Alex Kedoh Hill and Marty Hill to give the Chiefs a 2-1 lead.

The teams traded strings of goals throughout the first twenty minutes of action packed lacrosse with Jamie-son putting five notches in his stick in the first period alone.

Roger Vyse also scored for the Chiefs to end the first pe-riod with Six Nations leading 6-5.

Peterborough had a little better luck in the second pe-riod as both teams attempted to shore up their defense be-tween periods.

Grant scored his third of the game at 4:53 to even the score at 6-6. Colin Doyle moved the pegs for Six Nations at 7:02 assisted by Jamieson and Craig Point. But Grant tied it up again on a power play 23 seconds later.

Billy Dee Smith gave the

Chiefs an 8-7 lead at 8:37 with an unassisted effort before Pe-terborough’s Shawn and Scott Evens closed out the second period with the Lakers lead-ing 9-8.

But the Chiefs goal scor-ing powder keg exploded in the third. Colin Doyle tied the game at 1:58 then took the lead at 3:36 from Dan Coates and Jamieson.

Point added to the Six Na-tions lead at 6:34 from Doyle and Jamieson before Jamie-son netted his sixth goal of the game at 7:56 from Doyle and Vyse to make it 12-9 for Six Nations.

Frustration and aggressive-ness combined to turn the mid-third period into a battle field at 8:26. When the fur stopped flying Peterborough’s Shawn

Evans received 17 minutes, Scott Evans got 15 minutes and a game misconduct, Six Nations‘ Marty Hill was as-sessed 12 minutes, and Rory Smith got 15 minutes and a game misconduct.

When they got back to play-ing lacrosse, Peterborough’s Cory Vitarelli scored a power play goal at 9:33 to close the gap to 12-10 with half a pe-riod left.

Any hopes for a Lakers come back were sunk when Craig Point delivered on a power play from Jamieson and Kedoh Hill at 14:26.

Kirk held his ground against a late Peterborough barrage until the Lakers pulled goal-ie Tyler Carson for an extra attacker. The move failed as Rob Marshall scored into

the empty net, unassisted at 18:05.

With nothing to loose, Pe-terborough tried the extra man again with the same results as Dan Coates scoring into the empty Lakers net. They tried a third time and Jesse Gamble made them pay at 19:12.

The Lakers scored the last goal of the game at 19:39 for the 16-11 final.

In the game within the game, John Grant led the Lak-ers with 4 goals and 3 assists for 7 points while Cody Ja-mieson racked up 6 goals and 4 assists for a 10 point game.

If this was a preview of a possible Chiefs/Lakers play-off series, fans should buy their tickets early. It promises to be a throwback to their old-time lacrosse rivalry.

The Six Nations Novice 1 Warriors trumped the Hamilton Bengals 10-3 at the Gaylord Powless Arena last Thursday night, powered by three goal performanc-es by K.W. King and Brandon Anderson.

The Warriors were strong throughout the game and took a 3-0 lead after the first period on a pair of goals by Ander-son and one by King.

Six Nations kept the ball rolling in their direction through the second peri-od as well. Dayton Sawyer added a 4th Six Nations goal at 14:08 unassisted and King converted an Anderson pass into Six Nations 5th goal at 9:42.

Anderson scored his third of the game

three minutes later assisted by Jake Hill.King made it 7-0 and Sawyer added

another as the Six Nations continued to dominate.

Hamilton’s Braydon Stafford got the Bengals on the scoresheet with 38 sec-onds remaining in the second period.

The Bengals continued to show some offence early in the third period when William Macleod made it 8-2 and Justin Brennecke brought in the 8-3 goal, but the game was long over by then. Six Na-tions’ Thunder Hill and Mitch VanEvery closed out the scoring for Six Nations.

There was a bit of a scrap at the end of the game which the referees dealt with quickly, as both coaches gathered their players and hustled them into their re-spective dressing rooms.

Novice Warriors tame Hamilton Bengals 10-3

The Chiefs are back in action Thursday night in Brampton before hosting the Brooklin Red-men Saturday night, July 6th at the ILA at 7 pm. They will then be in Kitchener to take on the KW Kodiaks Tuesday night, July 9.

It got a little close going around the Hamilton Bengals net at times but the Six Nations Novice Warriors kept the pressure on and won the game with fine defensive play and ball control. (Photo by Jim Windle)



It took a strong third pe-riod to do it, but the 9-5-0 Sr. B Six Nations Rivermen kept on the winning side of the standings with a 14-8 win over the second to last place Owen Sound Northmen on Friday night at the Gaylord Powless Arena.

The Northmen stayed stride for stride with the Riv-ermen in the first period, each team scoring three times.

The Northmen went ahead 2-0 before Jeremy Johns got the Rivermen going at 7:40. Late goals by Chancy John-son and Justin Gibson evened the score at 3-3. Picking up assists for the Rivermen were Torrey VanEvery and Cory Bomberry with two each, Lo-gan Kane and Delby Powless with singles.

The Rivermen began to take charge in the second period when Gibson scored from Powless and Bomberry at 2:42 and Wayne VanEvery added another at 3:56 from Gibson and Powless.

Steve Jennings cut the 5-3 Six Nations lead to 4-3 at 6:25, and Brock Boyle re-stored the two goal lead at 11:37, assisted by goalten-der Angus Goodleaf.

Owen Sound scored again at 12:21 but Boyle posted his second of the game at 17:07 from Isaiah Kicknosway to end the second period with

the Rivermen leading 7-5.Delby Powless and Wayne

VanEvery put the game out of reach in the third period. Powless scored 28 seconds after the face-off from Mike Miller, and VanEvery scored back-to-back goals at 2:28 and 3:36.

Jeff Ivey scored for Owen Sound at 4:04 but it would not matter as Six Nations’ Torrey VanEvery went on a third period scoring spree re-cording goals at 4:43, 11:42

and again at 16:56. Gibson also added his second of the game.

North Stars’ Brandon Sanderson and Rob Milnes scored in the losing cause.

The loss killed any hope of the Northmen making it into the post season and kept the Norwood James Gang at bay, two points behind the River-men, in third place. Norwood has one game left in the reg-ular season and Six Nations have two, beginning with Fri-

day’s road trip to Oakville to keep a date with the Titans, and the regular season closer at the Gaylord Powless Are-na, Sunday, July 7 at 7:00

pm against the first place St. Catharines Saints.

One positive thing coach Stew Monture can take from this week’s games is that 14

players on his bench contrib-uted to the 14 goals scored by the Rivermen indicating that all is well as the playoffs draw near.

It was a busy and fruitful week for the league leading Six Nations Rebels as they kept their perfect season alive, now at 19-0.

Sunday, the Rebs doubled up on the St Catharines Spar-tans 10-5 in St. Kitts, Friday night they crushed the Elora Mohawks, 16-2, but Thurs-day they came very close to breaking their string of victo-ries in Niagara, but still win-ning 12-11.

Although second place Ni-agara could not possibly over-take the Rebels, they wanted to deliver a message as the play-off loom on the horizon. That they did, giving Six Nations probably the toughest game of the season so far.

The teams were even at 4-4 after the first period but Niag-ara surprised the Rebels in the second outscoring the league

leaders 5-4 to take a 9-7 lead with 20 minutes left.

That’s when the Rebels dug deep and came out in the their with their “A” game.

After Niagara held their lead for the first half of the period, Frank Brown, Dalton Miller, Ian Martin, and Daniel Bo Henhawk stung Six Nations goals together to get back in it. Niagara’s Austin Wright and Anthony Patterson scored but Austin Staats played the hero scoring the game winner at 19:37 from Martin and Jesse Johnson to keep their perfect season alive.

Friday night at the ILA it must have felt good to relax a bit after getting the scare in Ni-agara as the Rebels coasted to a 16-2 win over the Mohawks of Elora. Doug Jamieson was in goal and shut out the Mo-hawks in the first and third periods. Fifteen Rebels add-ed points to their stats as the Rebels evenly attacked the

Elora with all lines chipping in. Mitch Green led the charge with four goals and two assists.

In St Kitts the Rebels re-gained their stride against a worthy opponent in the Spar-tans but taking a 10-5 win while spreading the goals scor-ing around in another even at-tack.

Six Nations out shot the Spartans 54-36 with jamieson recording another win in the Six Nations net.

The regular season ends for the Rebels at the ILA this Wednesday night against the Spartans and with a win will complete a perfect 20-0 regu-lar season.

The Western Conference Best-of-Three Playoff season begins this Friday, July 5th at 8 pm when Brampton invades the ILA. Game #2 will be the following night in Brampton with Game #3, if necessary, set for Sunday July 7th at 2 in the afternoon.

Rebels one game away from a perfect season

The Six Nations Arrows Express are looking sharp and ready for the Minto Cup chase as the OLA Jr. A la-crosse season closes with four games remaining.

Last Tuesday night, the Arrows Express ran over the Mississauga Tomahawks 13-3 at the ILA, which was followed Friday night with a 15-7 triumph over the Barrie Lakeshores in Barrie.

The Arrows come into the last two weeks of the regu-lar season leading the league with an impressive 13-3-0 record for 26 points. The Burlington Chiefs are right

behind with 23 points but have played one less game than the Arrows. In third is the Whitby Warriors with 22 points, tied with the Oran-geville Northmen.

The league scoring title is a two horse race with John-ny Powless holding 91 points for second place, three points behind scoring leader Dhane Smith from the Kitchener-Waterloo Braves who has played one more game.

In Barrie, the Arrows put consistent pressure on the fifth place Lakeshores. Pow-less was the spark plug as he continued his race for the scoring title with an 8 point game (2G,6A) Tuesday night and a 9 pointer (4G,5A) Fri-

day night.He opened the scoring Fri-

day in front of 200 Barrie fans with his first of the night assisted by Josh Johnson and Jordan Durston. The Arrows relentless pressure resulted in a 6-3 lead after the first 20 minutes. Also scoring first period goals for Six Nations were newcomer Joel Shepley, Josh Johnson, Shane Simpson and Brendan Bomberry. Pow-less recorded two more for a three goal period.

It was more of the same in the second as the Arrows poured in another six goals with Warren Hill allowing only two at the other end.

Leo Stourus began the sec-ond period assault at 56 sec-

onds from Powless. Jordan Durston scored two, Haoda-is Maracle and Alex Henry added one each with Powless chalking up another.

With the game well in hand, the Arrows geared down a lit-tle in the third, allowing two Lakeshores goals to begin the period, but finishing them off with goals by Josh Johnson, Joel Shepley and Powless’ fourth of the game.

It was barely a workout for the Arrows Tuesday night at the ILA when the last place

Tomahawks rolled in from Mississauga.

Six Nations went easy on them in the first period with Josh Johnson and Brendan Bomberry scoring for the Arrows while Don Alton kept the Tomahawks off the scoresheet.

Ryan Pavic opened the second period with a Mis-sissauga goal at 1:27 which seemed to irk the Arrows who responded with the next 7 goals, three in a row by Ha-odais Maracle to end the sec-

ond period leading 9-1.The Arrows got a little

bored in the third and finished off the Tomahawks with goals by Bomberry, his third of the game to go along with three assists, Tehoka Nanti-coke, Maracle’s fourth of the game, and Powless‘ second. Barrie scored two.

The Arrows Express are in Kitchener at the Kins-man Arena Thursday night at 8 p.m. before hosting the Braves at the ILA Sunday night at 7 p.m.

An emotional and poi-gnant message packaged in athletic and rhythmic dance was presented by Kaha:wi Dance Theatre at the Woodland Cultural Cen-tre Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to overflow audi-ences both nights.

In advance of the main performance, the Tribal Visions Dancers narrated by Derek Martin, brought members of his family of champion traditional danc-ers to the Museum Theatre stage with a history and per-formance of several dances. He also explained the ori-gin and meaning of various aspects of the traditional dance regalia.

“The Honouring”, writ-ten and choreographed by Artistic Director, Santee Smith (Kahnyen’kehàka – Mohawk Nation of the Grand River), came to the Woodland Centre last Tues-day and Wednesday night as part of the world pre-mier of her latest work. Her highly acclaimed Kawa:wi Dance Theatre opening for three nights at Toronto’s Old Fort York attracting rave re-views. June 29 and 30, the Kaha:we Dance Theatre per-formed “The Honouring” to large appreciative crowds at Old Fort Erie.

“The Honouring” is set in the year 1812 as Haude-nosaunee women send their warrior husbands, sons, friends and fathers off to do battle in a white mans war, not of their own making.

It captures in dance and in imagery the fear and bravery, the tears and the triumphs of this band of Haudenosaunee warriors as they fight as allies to Brit-ain during the war that even-tually saved Canada. But it does so from a truly Haude-nosaunee perspective. Cana-dian history rarely includes the sacrifices of blood and many lives made by the Onkwehon:we warriors and their families.

Smith’s insightful writ-ing and dance interpreta-tions reminds Native and non-Native audiences alike that, from a Haudenosaunee perspective, the British were

Allies with the Six Nations Confederacy and with oth-er Onkwehon:we Nations in the protection of their tradi-tional lands culture and sov-ereignty, honouring the Two Row Wampum understand-ing between two peoples of vastly different world views.

The Honouring brings this much ignored part of the story of the War of 1812 to a primarily non-Native au-dience.

“Audiences have an op-portunity to understand the complexity of the War of 1812 through the experien-tial lens of First Nations, of-fering a human face to our history,” says Smith about the creative, entertaining and educational presenta-tion. “All First Nations took part in the War of 1812 as sovereign Nation allies to Britain. ‘The Honouring’ pays homage to their per-sonal sacrifices and belief in what was the best for their family, community and fu-ture generations.”

Santee Smith founded the Kawa:wi Dance The-atre almost a decade ago. She is a former student of

the National Ballet School of Canada, holds a degree in Kinesiology from McMas-ter University and a MA in Dance from York Univer-sity.

Also playing an impor-tant role in “The Honour-ing,” is Six Nations singer /actor Cheri Maracle who both danced and narrated the story.

Other performers in the Kawa:wi Dance Theatre in-clude, Anishinabe dancer Michael Demski; Nimkii Osawamick, award win-ning traditional dancer from Wikwemikong; Alex Twin, a Plains Cree dancer from Swan River First Nation in Alberta and graduate of The Centre for Indigenous Theatre in Toronto; Gar-ret Smith, also a graduate of The Centre for Indige-nous Theatre is Blackfoot from the Peigan and Blood tribes of southern Alberta; Jacob Pratt is Dakota/An-ishinabe from Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan; and Emily Law, graduate from the School of Toronto Dance Theatre, and Etobi-coke School of the Arts who has been with Kawa:i Dance

Theatre since 2006.Not only is the choreogra-

phy both artistic and earthy at the same time, the staging is magnificent. There was concern that the Wednesday evening performance would be brought into the Museum Theatre building because of threatening rain but the clouds broke and the show went on outside as intended.

The side wall of the Mu-seum served as a perfect backdrop as video images were projected upon it to help tell the story. But the most moving part of the out-door staging, from this re-porters standpoint, was the dancers shadows reflect-ed upon the museum wall leaving the unspoken mes-sage that the spirits of those

brave warriors and women are still with us today.

While honouring the spir-its of the ancestors, San-tee Smith’s magnificent talent and vision through Kaha:wi also brings honour to Haudenosaunee people of today with every perfor-mance she has created and performed throughout Tur-tle Island, an beyond.

“The Honouring” - powerful, educational and important

Through her creative dance and visionary writing, Santee Smith has become one of Six Nations brightest shining lights and ambassadors to the world. Her latest work, The Honouring” was created to help commemorate the Onkwehon:we warriors who fought and died in “a white mans war,” bringing a Haudenosaunee perspective of the war of 1812.

Students, their families and staff at Emily C. General el-ementary have gotten behind the Six Nations Native Pag-eant/Forest Theatre in a big way this year. Not only have they fund-raised to help off-set the production costs of the annual Pageant, which is now in its 65th year, this year 31 students have signed up to be a part of the pageant.

The pageant will honour the life and work of Emily C. General, who had started the pageant in 1949 as a way to raise funds for the Indian De-fence League. The pageant evolved, quickly becoming a way to tell the history of our people, said Judy Henhawk Sault, a member of the Pag-eant's board of directors.

“We want to show her his-tory,” said Renee Hess, this year's pageant coordinator, “and we want to develop cur-riculum” for the students.

The pageant has always portrayed the life of a sig-nificant Native, “people who have some sort of notoriety,” said Hess. Emily C. Gener-al, who died two years before the school given her name opened, wasn't a person who looked for the limelight, but the pageant board felt it was time the story of the woman behind the pageant is told.

After her mentor (and un-cle) Deskaheh (also known as Levi General) was exiled from Canada in 1924, “she took on his fight,” said Hess. Emily was around 17 years old at the time. “After what happened to him, she choose to continue with his work.”

“It's important her story be told,” Hess said. She said she never knew Emily, but af-ter having researched her she said, “one regret is that I never got to know this woman.”

Sault said there wasn't much information available about Emily C. General when they first started researching her life, but once the women be-gan looking, they found a lot.

“People have written theses about her,” said Hess. They learned about the Emily C. General archives, and Hess said some of what they learned about Emily there has been in-corporated into the play, which was written by Heather Ma-jaury with assistance from Laura Hubbert.

Hess said that students would act out one or two of the stories written by Emily C. General in the pageant, gen-erating excitement in the stu-dents present.

The Pageant board is look-ing for help, and Sault said there are many ways to get involved with this year's pag-eant – participation in putting on the play, a donation, help with cutting the grass and yard clean-up. The board is also trying to raise money to help pay the hydro bills and to fix the bathroom.

The group, which is a not-for-profit, holds fund rais-ing events through the year, and will soon be holding a strawberry event. For more information, or if you have questions, contact Judy Hen-hawk Sault at [email protected].

Those who were able to catch the short and free per-formance of 18:12, Eighteen Minutes and 12 Seconds, hosted by Chiefswood Na-tional Historic Site in Six Nations Wednesday, were in for a treat.

The travelling road show portrays the War of 1812 “from a fun perspective,” said Fiona Diamond, Vice-President and Business Manager of Brookes Dia-mond Productions Ltd., the entertainment production company who created and produced the short musical play for the Ka'nata Foun-dation.

“We felt people would rather be entertained when learning about history,” Di-amond said after the first of two performances at Chief-swood.

Four young actors, includ-ing William Prince who is from Peguis First Nation, took on various roles as they acted out short vignettes por-traying various key points of the War of 1812 with song and comedy as their tools.

While attendance for the matinee was low, those who attended enjoyed the perfor-mance, which lasts 18 min-utes and 12 seconds.

“It was pretty good. I liked the way they dealt with some of the stereotypes,” said Six Nations historian Keith Jamieson, who attend-ed the matinee. He was re-ferring to the lampooning of the mythology surrounding Laura Secord, which includ-ed a dancing cow. “I forgot about the cow,” he said.

Chiefswood Curator Kar-en Dearlove, also picked out the Laura Secord myth-bust-ing portion of the play as a stand-out moment.

“I think it's something that can give the average person who doesn't know the his-tory in a snapshot,” said Dearlove. “But I do like the way that they made the point that Canadians were a diverse group that weren't necessarily fighting for the same things, and that the war wasn't something they wanted on this side.”

“I do like the way they played on Laura Secord and how the myth has grown to be bigger than what it actu-ally was,” said Dearlove.

Six Nations Police BriefsStaff

Drunken graduation party shut down

Only one teen, a resident of Paris, was arrested in a graduation party that in-volved alcohol and lasted from Thursday June 27 to Friday June 28, keeping Six Nations Police busy. The eighteen year old from Par-is was not named by police. The youth was arrested for being intoxicated and held in custody until he was sober.

The arrest came after po-lice had shut down an As-sumption graduation party held at Yogi's Barn on Chief-swood Road Thursday night. Police said “a large number of people” were at the party, both Native and non-Native teenagers. A number of the teens were underage, said the police in a statement posted on its website. According to the statement, police checked the identification of a num-ber of the teenagers found on the property and seized alco-hol, ordering some of those attending the party to leave. Inside the building, officers saw approximately 70 to 80 people, “all consuming alco-holic beverages,” according to the statement.

Police learned the party at Yogi's Barn was the Assump-tion graduation party, and said it was illegal. But the party did not stop for some of the young people, keeping police busy attending calls when drunk grads turned up in the village.

Two males were seen around the Bicentennial Day Care, and ran when police arrived. One of the youths was caught by police and given a ride home, but while the youth was escort-ed home, another call came in about an unwanted male at Iroquois Lodge. The OPP assisted with that call. Po-lice said the youth had left the scene by the time police arrived, but was found in the village. The youth was 18 and intoxicated, and had been attending the Assump-tion graduation party. This youth was from Paris, and was the only youth that had reportedly been arrested.

Police said the party had moved from Yogi's Barn to a residence on Bicentennial Trail after they shut down the party at the barn Thurs-day night.
