The Spirit of All Nations.
This is a description
OTTAWA – Elected Chief Ava Hill was in Ottawa this week attending a Federal Court Hearing launched in 2010 by four large First Nations communities: Six Nations, Tyendinaga, Oneida and Wikwemikong, to the Human Rights Commission.
The Two Row Times was fortunate enough to have an exclusive telephone interview with Bruce Cockburn from his home in San Francisco.
OHSWEKEN – Inventor John Kearns and his corporate affairs and compliance manager Trudy Nguyen, were at Council chambers Monday and received the go ahead to bring in specialized help from Nova Scotia to complete the first phase of the agreement that would eventually bring a new 20 ton capacity waste disintegrator unit to Six Nations to replace the 10 ton, demonstrator model that has been at the Six Nations landfill site since November.
SIX NATIONS – The new $41 million water treatment plant was declared up and ready back in November just in time to give then Chief Bill Montour something to run up on the flag pole just before the elections.
BRANTFORD – The first annual Graduate Student’s Conference in Indigenous Research was held at Wilfrid Laurier University – Brantford campus, this past weekend.
Brantford Police issued a statement Monday morning stating the violent sexual assault of a woman reported on Jan 31st, did not occur.
Brantford City Police are looking for tips after a 20 year old woman was violently sexually assaulted in Brantford last night.
Ronatahskats, the Community Living Gift Shop on Chiefswood Road has been renovated, and is moving forward in a new adventure, building a social enterprise where community members and clients with intellectual disabilities can interact.
The statistics are shocking. There are 7 billion people on this planet. Half of them are women. One third of these women will be raped or beaten in their lifetime. And according to the One Billion Rising website, on February 14, “over one billion people will rise, release, and dance to demand justice for all survivors of gender violence, and call for an end to the rampant impunity that prevails globally.”
SIX NATIONS – Sometimes when there is a changing of the guard at the leadership level, there are issues half done that either fall through the cracks or become somewhat confused in the transition. It appears the Kearns disintegrator system is in one of those situations.
BRANTFORD – In the beginning some people thought the Mohawk Workers’ plan to return stolen Mohawk Village land under the Haldimand Proclamation, rather than through the Ontario Realty Corp., was a crazy idea.
The Six Nations Forest Theatre Pageant is starting to gear up for another community play which is going into its 66th year and is held in August of each year.
It has been argued that the British Crown only gave Joseph Brant’s Mohawks and such others, “usufruct rights” to land named under the Haldimand Deed – meaning that they did not give them the land in “Fee Simple,” which is how the Crown gave land to its own subjects. They say, the right to use the soil was all that Joseph Brant got.
Brantford’s voters, who may be browsing the City’s Ward maps, are served a map cleansed of Six Nations Indian Reserve No. 40 and Glebe Farm No. 40B. These Native lands – parts which are also known as the Eagles Nest Tract – have a Federally designated total area larger than Brantford’s downtown core and have recently been stricken from the 2014 City Ward 5 map.
The man I will always think of as the last true Mohawk Warrior, has finally found peace. Dick Hill died early Tuesday morning.
