By Jim WindleNEW YORK

The Mohawk Workers delegation of Bill Squire and Ellis Hill were pleased to be able to open the litany of serious allegations and ac-cusation against Canada and the British Crown to United Nations Special Rapporteur James Anaya, Monday in New York.

The Kanyengehhaka (Mo-hawks) of the Grand River presented specific violations of the United Nations Decla-ration on the Rights of Indig-enous Peoples which Prime Minister Stephan Harper re-luctantly signed on behalf of Canada as the last nation to holdout.

Initially the delegation was given 10 minutes, may-be 20, but through a turn of events, the Mohawks were given a full hour to state their case. Anaya has promised to visit again with the Mohawk Workers when he comes to Canada in the near future to investigate these and other allegations of human rights violations against people and Nations of the original inhab-itants of what is now known as Canada, and to hear more from the Mohawk perspec-tive.

“It went really well,” said a tired but encouraged Bill Squire upon his return Tues-day evening.

Among the violations the Mohawks presented to Ana-ya and two members from the World Court in Geneva, Switzerland, were the UND-RIP document which states in article #1: “Indigenous peoples have the right to the full enjoyment, as a collec-tive or as individuals, of all human rights and fundamen-tal freedoms as recognized in the Charter of the United Na-tions, the Universal Decla-ration of Human Rights and international human rights law.”

The Mohawks contend that due to the rule of conti-nuity, a state does not disap-pear and reappear; it remains the same actor and is bound by past obligations. Just as Germany is responsible for the acts done by Nazis; South Africa is responsible for apartheid government crimes; so too is Canada re-sponsible for apartheid gov-ernment crimes. The binding force of obligations is nor-mative – by way of relations with other states.

As evidence that this most basic premiss of the Declara-tion has been and is currently being violated, they point to the Indian Act, section 20, which states: “Possession of lands in a reserve 20. which says; No Indian is lawful-

ly in possession of land in a reserve unless, with the ap-proval of the Minister, pos-session of the land has been allotted to him by the council of the band.

20. (4) Where possession of land in a reserve has been allotted to an Indian by the council of the band, the Min-ister may, in his discretion, withhold his approval and may authorize the Indian to occupy the land temporarily and may prescribe the condi-tions as to use and settlement that are to be fulfilled by the Indian before the Minister approves of the allotment.”

But the Mohawk delega-tions states, “There are nu-merous other prima facie examples of government apartheid and other viola-tions of recognized human rights including Canada’s policy of imprisonment by race as evidenced by inter alia, former Supreme Court Justice Frank Iacobucci’s “alarming” February 26, 2013 report recognizing that our people face “systemic racism” within the Ontario provincial justice system. Great Britain and Canada’s depraved residential school genocide including Cana-da’s current policy to con-ceal evidence and neglect to prosecute plain and obvi-ous crimes against human-ity constitutes perhaps the most egregious example of deviousness and repugnan-cy demonstrated by a state in our peoples’ history.”

They are seeking redress from Canada and/or the Crown, in the form of ac-knowledgment of the title Ted Squire carries for his people, and the Ka-nyen-geh-ha-ka of Grand River’s inherent right to full autono-my including sovereign self-governance (true democracy according to our tradition and beliefs, pursuant to the Law of Great Peace) within our Grand River allodial ter-ritorial homeland as pledged, without interference, of any kind on the part of the state of Canada including derived entities and corporations.

2. Full recognition of Can-ada’s obligations in respect of succession of Great Brit-ain’s covenants and treaty obligations; in particular the Royal Proclamation of 1763, Haldiamnd’s Pledge of 1779, Haldimand’s Proclamation of 1784, and the 1713 Trea-ty of Utrecht.

Full compensation for all damages including apart-heid, genocide and lands usurped and corrupted with-out color of right.

UNDRIP Article #3: In-digenous peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right they

freely determine their politi-cal status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

The Mohawk Work-ers complaint to the UN is that: On October 7, 1924, the RCMP stormed the Six Nations Council House, dis-solved the Confederacy, and forcibly imposed an elected Band Council in its place, forcing traditional chiefs who carried titles for our people to assimilate - or face persecution. A “homogenous culture” was promoted, and forced assimilation has in-creasingly become Canada’s endorsed and implemented acculturation strategy. The elected band council sys-tem remains in place to-date notwithstanding persistent unsuccessful attempts to re-turn to our traditional system which remains fractured and suppressed.”

In the form of redress, they are seeking “Assuranc-es that Ka-nyen-geh-ha-kah will no longer be forced and expected to adhere to alien laws without our prior and informed consent in accor-dance with Queen Anne’s Order in Council dated 10 July 1704 recognizing my people’s original jurisdic-tion.”

Section 4. Indigenous peo-ples, in exercising their right to self-determination, have the right to autonomy or self-government in matters relat-ing to their internal and local affairs, as well as ways and means for financing their au-tonomous functions.

They note that: Queen Elizabeth recognized most recently in 2013 that the Ka-nyen-geh-ha-ka (Mohawks) of Grand River as her al-lies and conveyed her greet-ings to our people distinctly. She has agreed to act within the capacity of her Gover-nor General on the advice of her Canadian ministers in respect of our territorial ap-peal in respect of inter alia, our Grand River Homeland, an accounting for the period 1784-1867, etc.

Under the forcibly-im-posed Indian Act and elect-ed Band Council regime, the Mohawks say, our peo-ple must struggle in order to exercise any right to mean-ingful self-determination or traditional self-governance. Aside from our ally, Queen Elizabeth, recognition by Canada and on all state lev-els remains obsolete. Auton-omous traditional functions were dissolved and utterly eliminated and an oppressive and discriminatory practice of Federal funding maintains and fosters nepotism, cor-ruption and discrimination. The elected council and our

communities must thereby adhere to all Federal and Pro-vincial polices without the opportunity to participate in decision-making at such lev-els. The Six Nations Elected Band Council’s municipal-modeled assimilation regi-ment enacted, controls and currently funds a Ceremonial “Haudenosaunee Confeder-acy Council” which in turn controls an entity known as “Haudenosaunee Develop-ment Institute” or HDI who employs Ontario Lawyer Aaron Detlor. Despite expen-ditures of millions by both State-funded councils annu-ally in legal costs in respect of Grand River territory dis-pute negotiations without our people’s consent, to-date nei-ther a scintilla of land, nor a single reparation payment has been achieved.

In terms of compensation, they seek: Compensation and redress for damages and suf-fering caused at the unclean hands of the states of Canada and Great Britain, including the delivery of an account-ing, and proportionate return of all “Indian Trust” monies taken or otherwise derived by the state from the part of our people enabling our people to exercise self-de-termination, autonomy and independence.

Also, undertaking on the part of the State of Canada to Queen Elizabeth to act with-in the the rule of law includ-ing customary and obligatory British covenants, treaties and proclamations and intro-duce / demonstrate measures including a functional mech-anism to hold relevant levels and derived entities to these obligations within its federal capacity in respect of our ter-ritorial appeal in respect of inter alia, our Grand River territory, an accounting for the period 1784-1867, etc.

They also brought to at-tention the works of Cale-donia agitator Gary McHale and his Canadian Advo-cates for Charter Equality or CANACE as being, in their opinion, racist and a direct violation of Article #8 - Any form of propaganda designed to promote or incite racial or ethnic discrimination direct-ed against them.

Artcle 9. Indigenous peo-ples and individuals have the right to belong to an indig-enous community or nation, in accordance with the tra-ditions and customs of the community or nation con-cerned. No discrimination of any kind may arise from the exercise of such a right.

The Mohawks say, “apart-heid in South Africa was

based upon the Canadian re-serve system experience. The punitive effect of interna-tionally-imposed sanctions finally brought about an end to South African oppression. Meanwhile Canada’s assim-ilation, genocide and apart-heid remains unaddressed, uncurbed, and unacceptable in that our people continue suffer the denial of the right to our own Nation in accor-dance with our traditions and customs.”

They are seeking a formal declaration and commitment to end apartheid within Can-ada at all state levels.

There are many other is-sues addressed in the pre-sentation material including references to the Walton In-ternational land development at Tutela Heights which they and local citizens have been standing in opposition to.

Also, the City of Brant-ford’s assumed authority over lands the Mohawks be-lieve have never been ceded were cited.

Ayala has not set a date for his promised visit to Kanata to discuss these and many other issues at length, but assured that he would.

Mohawks voice finally heard at UN


By Stephanie DearingSIX NATIONS

A deal reached between NextEra Energy Canada and the Haudenosaunee Develop-ment Institute (HDI) for the Summerhaven wind farm be-ing constructed in Haldimand County is something that only Haudenosaunee mem-bers can know, said HDI law-yer and board director Aaron Detlor.

“It's not a confidential agreement to any Haudeno-saunee citizen,” said Aar-on Detlor. “The provisions of the agreement are just to share internally. It's not a se-cret agreement.” However, when asked when the rest of the public would know the ar-rangements reached between HDI and NextEra, Detlor said the agreement “will never be

revealed to non-Haudeno-saunee people.”

Six Nations Elected Coun-cil has been looking for com-munity input on the deal it has worked out with NextEra for the same wind farm, hosting four community information sessions. If Elected Council accepts the deal, it will be an-other stream of revenue for the community over the next twenty years that is indepen-dent of provincial and federal funding.

If approved, Six Nations will receive $8.7 million over a twenty-year period, with an additional amount of money ear-marked for educa-tion and money dedicated to monitoring the impacts of the turbines on the deer and eagle populations.

The deal with Elected Council is out in the open,

but you have to be Haude-nosaunee to know what deal HDI has brokered with Nex-tEra, which was apparently approved by Confederacy Chiefs. What is known thus far, as reported at the May Confederacy Chiefs Council is that NextEra Energy will give HDI 500 acres of land

and an unknown amount of financial compensation. NextEra is renting the land for the Summerhaven tur-bines and infrastructure.

In the meanwhile, NextEra says the construction of Sum-merhaven is providing 300 jobs to area residents.

“As large as this project is,

it's just one of many renew-able projects underway in the area," said Ben Greenhouse, director of Development for NextEra Energy Canada. "Wind projects like Sum-merhaven are creating new economic opportunities all across the province."

NextEra has reported that

the eagles, whose nest was cut down in January to make way for a Summerhaven wind turbine and access road, have not only taken up resi-dence in a replacement nest the company erected; it is be-lieved the pair are now rais-ing an unknown number of eaglets

Agent Orange, artificial growth hormones, DDT, PCB’s, Aspartame (artificial sweeteners), RoundUp weed spray (actually the same for-mula as agent orange), and Genetically Modified Organ-isms or GMO’s are only some of the dubious “achieve-ments” created in the labs of the Monsanto corporation.

In fact, when you list the most hazardous chemicals being consumed directly or indirectly by people around the world, you can not avoid finding the name of Monsan-to, the kings of genetically modified foods and associ-ated toxic chemicals.

Despite known hazards like birth defects and deadly diseases in both animals and humans, it seems the Canadi-an government dares not put restrictions on the mega-firm. Now, Prime Minister Stephan Harper is paving the way for Monsanto, Nestle and other foreign owned companies to buy up Canadian fresh water supplies by removing existing regulations and protections of what is rapidly becoming Canada’s most valuable natu-

ral resource. Even recent court rulings

in the USA and Canada have gone Monsanto’s way to help further entrench its strangle hold on independent farming and the food industry world-wide.

Morally, the practice of “patenting life”, as some critics call it, has come un-der public scrutiny in recent years.

Now a growing number of farmers, ecologically minded citizens and Native activists are about to launch a Nation-wide protest against Mon-santo.

Family farmers can now be fined for patent violations if a Monsanto supplied seed from an adjacent property blows over or is cross pollinated with their own seed.

This way, Monsanto gets the monopoly to sup-ply Canadian farmers with all its food seed, forever. This means even an organic grower could face charges if a Monsanto seed germinates anywhere on his land, even accidentally.

What’s so wrong about GMO foods? They say it in-creases the yield significantly compared with more natural

seed. They say the world is in a food crisis and growing more food on less land is the future of mankind.

But at what cost?Monsanto’s genetically-

modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer

tumors, infertility and birth defects.

The FDA in the USA, the watchdog agency put in place to protect citizens from dan-gerous foods and processes, is controlled by former Mon-santo executives, creating an

obvious conflict of interests. This explains the lack of gov-ernment-lead research on the long-term effects of GMO products in North America. However, 61 countries in-cluding China and the Eu-ropean Union, have either forced GMO’s to be labeled

as such or have banned the practice entirely.

Recently, the U.S. Con-gress passed the nicknamed “Monsanto Protection Act” that bans courts from halting the sale of Monsanto’s genet-ically-modified seeds.

Although one of the rich-est corporations in the world today, Monsanto continues to be the benefactor of cor-porate subsidies and political favoritism.

Small independent organ-ic farmers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world’s food supply, including ex-clusive patenting rights over seeds and genetic makeup.

Monsanto’s GMO seeds are proven to be harmful to the environment. Sci-entists have indicated they have caused colony collapse among the world’s bee popu-lation.

The Council Of Canadians is an organization dedicated to protect the world’s water, and they say that Monsanto is now also buying up all of the world’s fresh water sup-plies and soon may control not only what the world eats but what it drinks as well.

So what can the aver-age citizen consumer or Onkwehon:weh protectors of Mother Earth do?

One thing everyone can do is buy organic while pur-posefully bypassing Monsan-to owned brands or ones that use GMO ingredients in their

product.Citizens’ attempts in Can-

ada of having GMO products clearly labeled has been re-jected by the Harper Gov-ernment, which endorses Monsanto and other GMO corporations.

But there are other things you can do:

* Pressure politicians to call for further long range testing on Monsanto’s claims of safe product and practices.

* Continue to inform peo-ple at the grass roots level, since the mainstream me-dia generally says very little about the problem.

Yet, as history shows, only when the public takes to the streets, do government offi-cials take action.

Locally, organizers are ask-ing those willing to stand up to the corporate giant, the government and a judicial system that is endorsing the actions of Monsanto, to meet at the Zehres parking lot at the Fairview Drive, Satur-day, May 25, at 2 pm, to join the nationwide day of protest, “March Against Monsanto.”

There will then be a peace-ful march, for a mile, to the Street Food Basics on King George Road.

It's been 13 years since two people received the Wil-ma General Memorial Award in the same year. Back then, Jim Styres and Nina Burn-ham were honoured for their contributions to Six Nations through the award.

This year, Travis Ander-son and Michelle Bomberry received the honour during the annual recognition ban-quet and awards ceremony, held on Saturday evening.

A teacher at Oliver M. Smith Elementary, Travis Anderson is a runner who will be travelling to Brazil to participate in the World Mas-ter's Outdoor Track and Field Championships this Octo-ber. When he isn't training or teaching, Anderson can be found coaching the Six Na-tions Tyke Minor Hockey team, or coaching students who belong to the Brantford Track & Field Club.

Not only does Anderson “bridge the gap between Native and non-Native” through his own athletic in-terests, “In the classroom he puts his students and O.M.

Smith School first,” states the profile of Anderson pro-vided by the Six Nations Awards and Recognition Committee.

“It's appropriate the com-munity recognize a young person,” said Paula Hill when introducing Ander-son. Hill is a granddaughter of Wilma General.

Roberta Martin, anoth-er granddaughter of Wilma General introduced Michelle Bomberry. Michelle can be found volunteering at the Six Nations Community Food Bank, working with youth and working with commu-nity organizations. On top of all that, she's a new moth-er and is writing her Ph.D. Thesis.

Both Bomberry and An-derson said they could not do what they did if they did not have the support and encour-agement of their families.

The evening recognized the efforts made by three On-tario Works recipients and two organizations, as well as the two people selected as this year's “Community Treasurers” by Six Nations Elected Council.

Amy Thomas, a woman

who overcame barriers to successfully obtain her high school diploma and driver's licence, Amy Thomas; was recognized along with An-drew VanEvery and James Anderson.

VanEvery overcame his personal barriers to become a Supervisor at My Home on Turtle Island Youth Lodge. A volunteer fireman with the Six Nations Fire Depart-ment, VanEvery is a role model for the youth of Six Nations and other nations who access the Youth Lodge.

James Anderson has tak-en steps to deal with his ad-dictions, and last year began his educational journey, re-ceiving his GED this month. James obtained his Canadi-an Welding Bureau Certifi-cation and was accepted into the Welding Union 67 for a Level One welding appren-ticeship.

Two organizations that work with Six Nations mem-bers were also honoured for their contributions. The al-ternative learning program, Turning Point, which allows students to earn credits while working at paid/unpaid co-operative placements and

independent study was se-lected for the honour.

Native Spirit Consulting, comprised of Sherri-Lyn Hill and Dennis Fitzpatrick, have worked with Six Nations On-tario Works since 2010, and were honoured for their sup-port of clients.

The award ceremony cul-minated with the Communi-ty Treasure awards to Bertha Skye and Oliver Cap Bomb-erry.

A professional cook, Ber-

tha Skye had competed in the World Culinary Olympics in 1992, her team of five chefs taking home eleven medals, facing 14,000 other chefs. But throughout her life, she has provided support to stu-dents studying at Mohawk College and McMaster Uni-versity, and currently serves as board director with the Six Nations Health Foundation.

Better known as Cap, Ol-iver Bomberry's life-long love for lacrosse has seen

him develop a rewarding 56 year career with the sport, as a player and as a coach. Cur-rently, Cap coaches the River Men Senior B lacrosse team. Over the years, Cap has been given many rewards for his dedication to the sport, the biggest honour perhaps be-ing his induction into he Canadian Hall of Fame for taking lacrosse to a higher level of dignity through his roles as coach, team manager and general manager.

The Canadian Press

A group of certain Cana-dian actors, writers and pol-iticians is calling on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to change the name of Victoria Day.

The group _ which in-cludes author Margaret At-wood, Green Party leader Elizabeth May, and actor Gordon Pinsent _ has signed an online petition to rename this Monday's public holiday ``Victoria and First Peoples Day.''

Peter Keleghan, an actor

and spokesman for the group, says the name would provide a chance to honour both the Crown and the indigenous peoples of Canada.

He says it would help cre-ate a better understanding of the various peoples who helped shape Canada.

National Aboriginal Day is celebrated every year on June 21 but it's not recognized as a national holiday.

Victoria Day marks the birthday of Queen Victoria and is celebrated every year on the last Monday before May 25.

SECOND CLASS MAIL - REGISTRATION NO. 0490849

Last weeks pole resultsLast week we called upon the people of Six Nations to decide if they would like the

house at Kanonhstaton removed or if it should stay. The results were overwhelmingly in favour of the house remaining on the property and that it remains occupied, at least for now.

There were 23 responses, 20 of which said it should stay, three say it should be removed.Similar reasons were left by most of the participants wanting the house to stay, stating

fears of counter-occupation by Caledonians or the Ontario government, which holds the assumed legal title since buying the hot potato from the Henning Brothers.

Some say the house should be turned into some kind of resource centre or information site open to anyone wishing to know about what caused the stand-off situation and why it still remains unsettled.

Another says she wants to see the site turned into somewhat of a museum devoted to Haudenosaunee history, manned by knowledgeable volunteers in the day and someone to remain on the site 24/7 to prevent backlash from certain elements.

Another responder wants to see Kanonhstaton become the site of Six Nations built low rental or affordable housing units for Six Nations people.

One of the three calling for the removal of the house wants to see the grounds cleaned up and the house and burned out trailer gone to “move both communities forward together to pressure the government to resolve these issues.”

From our perspective, it is not beyond the realm of possibility to have topsoil that was removed by the Hennings, replaced with new soil provided by the province or the feds, capable of sustaining crops. The proceeds from a roadside veggy stand could be used to help feed Six Nations and Haldimand’s poorer families and/or to create an economic op-portunity of some kind.

Or it could simply be leased out to farmers, as the original idea was 150 years ago, with yearly lease proceeds going to Six Nations. But that is where ideas like this fall apart. Politically speaking, exactly who or what is Six Nations? Who would collect the money and decide where the proceeds will go? Who will oversee that agency and who will over-see the overseers?

Either way, the majority seem to believe it is important, at least for the meantime, to keep the house up and the land occupied. Repair of the damaged house would also have to be made and the people of Six Nations help to sustain anyone doing the job of holding the land, so to speak.

We are not accusing anyone of anything, but if in fact there are unseemly things going on in that house or on that property as alleged, it should be up to Six Nations itself to see to it that the sacrifices made to reclaim the land are no dishonoured, not to sit back — out of sight, out of mind — and wait for something bad to happen, then react to it.

If, on the other hand, the site is in fact contributing to the knowledge of the Haudeno-saunee in any positive way, it should not only be continued but expanded upon and sup-ported both financially and morally by Six Nations people.

Traditionally, the land is under the care of the women and clan mothers. Remember, it was they who supported the reclamation in the first place. They really should be the ones to gather such information, meet with their clans, decide what to do and task their chiefs to make sure that happen, one way or the other. And although we recognize that it is not up to us or any other media outlet to decide, we hope this little survey helps to get people talking and gives our readers a taste of what the people who are talking have to say.

Thank you for participating and don’t stop the conversation here, as well as many other conversations about issues which have laid unresolved and stagnant for months, years, and even generations.

There is a time to remain silent, but there is also a time to talk and that time is now, while there is relative peace, without the pressure of conflict or immediate urgency.

Remembering Elijah HarperThe passing of Elijah Harper today, Friday May 17, 2013, is a sad day for we who are

left behind. Everyone who knew him or knew of him will remember his quiet strength and determination. It is a good day for Elijah as he starts his walk to the land of the Creator, as it is the end of poor health that he carried for many years from the ravages of diabetes.

I have known Elijah for 25 years and always appreciated his quiet unassuming nature. Every time we got together over the years he always had time for a humorous story gath-ered from his many interactions across Canada. These meeting were usually crossing of paths in airports and meetings across Canada. His house in Ottawa was like a united nations of First Nations people from east to west and north to south.

He had that special gift of spreading calm even in the hectic days of Meech Lake. Eli-jah was absolutely vilified by Canadian politicians who saw his “No” as almost treason. Eventually Clyde Wells the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador saw the folly and took the same stance against the Meech Lake Accord.

Even during this critical period in his political career he had the strength and fortitude to stand up for his conviction and principles. He always believed that our people needed a voice in the evolution of Canada.

I will always remember Elijah as a friend and send my condolences to Anita and the family.

Chief William Montour

Our Canada includes First NationsStudents from SimonFraser University

The radicalizing power of a viral video “‘Canada Made Me Do This — The Death of Nel-lie Traverse,’” is a fictitious crisis that ensues after the videotaped suicide of a young Ab-original woman is posted online, touching a global chord and sparking a national social and security crisis in Canada.

The case was presented to teams from 10 public policy schools at the second National Public Administration Case Competition, held at Queen’s University, Kingston, on February 8,

2013. The challenge was to devise a policy response after the viral video radicalizes both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal youth across the country, spawning a violent backlash from unknown militants and drawing global condemnation of Canada for poor social and economic conditions on reserves. The competition was won by students from Simon Fraser University.

Our presentation was based on the theme that Canadians feel very strongly that our Canada includes First Nations, and the policy alternatives targeted the underlying issues of aboriginal youth suicide. Our recommendations recognize that while the Government of Canada has a leading role to play, it is not the only actor with responsibilities on this issue. It is essential to rebuild hope and trust between all parties, and to prove that engagement is for the long haul.

We believed that by showing it was ready to address the root causes of youth suicide, the government would be able to defuse the immediate threat of violence. It could then use the crisis as an opportunity to restore its credibility on Aboriginal affairs, turning its commit-ment to addressing youth suicide into a stepping stone to achieving real progress on larger, historical questions.

As the case presented a number of immediate “crisis” situations on top of the major under-lying issues, we laid out a phased approach.

We recommended forming a task force consisting of the participating ministries, with the addition of Treasury Board, to

tackle immediate public safety issues in the short term. The task force would be re-evaluated after 30 days, but would continue in the long term to build inter-departmental cooperation around long-term issues and to demonstrate a sustained commitment.

Our group set realistic objectives to derive achievable alternatives. Ultimately we recom-mended a moderate approach to create regional centres that would allow for the two-way flow of information between First Nations and government health care workers.

The policy response had to address several different strands of the crisis. We first made recommendations aimed at immediate action to address the public safety and diplomatic is-sues arising from Nellie’s suicide.

Respond to School ProtestsCooperation is required between the Assembly of First Nations leadership, First Nations

leadership, AboriginalAffairs and Northern Development, Health Canada and the provinces and territories. A

joint statement should:• Announce a partnershipto address the issue of youth suicide;• Urge protests to take another form.Respond to Radical AgitationAllow CSIS to monitor social media activity and contain the spread.The Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety must:• Express zero tolerance for terrorist activities;• Continue to avoid using inflammatory language in public.

Nations warn that Enbridge pipeline is the project that could “poison the well” for new relationship with First Nations in Northern BC, in-cluding discussions around LNG

Vanderhoof and Yinka Dene Territories, British Columbia – May 17, 2013 – With only days remain-ing until BC must take a fi-nal position on the Enbridge pipeline in the federal review process, the Yinka Dene Al-liance has written to Premier Christy Clark, calling for government-to-government pipeline talks.

The Yinka Dene Alliance, whose members’ territories make-up 25% of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline route, say the Pre-miers’ position on Gateway will be a litmus test for the government’s new relation-ship with BC First Nations.

“Christy Clark has ex-pressed a strong interest in building positive relationships with First Nations in North-ern BC,” said Chief Martin Louie, Nadleh Whut’en First Nation. “She can either start building that relationship by taking a strong, principled stand against the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and respecting our indige-nous rights and title, or she can poison the well for future discussions on resource deci-sion-making in Northern BC,

including around LNG.”Over 160 First Nations

have signed the Save the Fra-ser Declaration, banning tar sands oil projects from their territories as a matter of in-digenous law.

“Premier Clark has said that she will stand up for BC, and now is the time,” said Chief Dolly Abraham, Tak-la Lake First Nation. “The Yinka Dene Alliance is up-holding our responsibility to protect the water and land for our children’s future prosper-ity. Will Premier Clark do the same?”

More than 100,000 people across Canada have signed petitions that recognize and support the Yinka Dene Al-liance’s decision to ban the Enbridge project from their territories.

“As the stewards of our land, First Nations carry a heavy responsibility for re-source decision-making that affects all British Colum-bians,” said Chief Stanley Thomas, Saik’uz First Na-tion. “It is imperative that we hold government-to-govern-ment talks with the new Pre-mier, so that she understands both our deep concerns about the Enbridge pipeline, as well as our vision for the prosper-ity of our people and all Brit-ish Columbians.”

The Yinka Dene Alli-ance is made up of Nadleh Whut’en, Nak’azdli, Takla Lake, Saik’uz, Wet’suwet’en and T’lazt’en First Nations.

Call for Government-to-Government Pipeline talks

His presence was huge, al-though if you ask most peo-ple, they would immediately associate Elijah Harper with stopping the Meech Lake Ac-cord.

The family of Elijah Harp-er reported his passage to the spirit world on Friday morn-ing, giving the cause of his death as cardiac arrest as a result of diabetes complica-tions. He was 64 years old, and the news of his passage rapidly spread across Cana-da.

“Elijah was a wonderful man, father, partner,” said his wife, Anita Olsen Harp-er, and his children in a state-ment issued Friday morning. “He was a true leader and vi-sionary in every sense of the word. He will have a place in Canadian history, forever, for his devotion to public service and uniting his fellow First Nations with pride, deter-mination and resolve. Elijah will also be remembered for bringing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people together to find a spiritual basis for heal-ing and understanding. We will miss him terribly and love him forever.”

Local leaders were also full of praise for Elijah Harp-er.

“He did a lot of coura-geous things for First Na-tions,” said Mississaugas of New Credit Chief Bryan LaForme, who said he had known Elijah Harper for a

long time. “Especially the Meech Lake Accord. He wasn't afraid to take a stand on issues, that's for sure.”

“I think he was a very positive role model for the young generation, especial-ly the young leaders who are now becoming chiefs in their communities, or even coun-cillors,” LaForme said. He described Elijah as “such a charismatic guy, everybody he came into contact with liked him. He was very per-sonable and very down to earth. He was a good friend. He's going to be missed, he really is.”

Six Nations Elected Chief William Montour said he knew Elijah Harper quite well.

“During the Meech Lake, I was working as a Chief of Staff at the Assembly of First Nations.” At the time, Eli-jah Harper was serving as an elected member of the Mani-toba legislature. “I had many discussions with Elijah,” said Montour.

“He was a very humble person, down to earth boy,” Montour remembered. “He was a lot of fun to be with. He always had stories to tell.” Montour said Elijah would be missed.

Shawn A-in-chut Atleo, National Chief of the As-sembly of First Nations, described Mr. Harper as “a tireless and courageous leader of our people,” in a statement offering his condo-lences to Mr. Harpers family.

“Elijah’s commitment and

dedication to asserting and upholding First Nation rights and recognition has helped lay a solid foundation as this hard work continues today,” said Atleo. “Leading two Sa-cred Assemblies focused on finding a spiritual basis for healing and understanding between Indigenous and non-

Indigenous peoples, Elijah’s drive and actions toward reconciliation will continue to be a legacy for First Na-tion and all Canadians as we move toward improved and renewed relationships based on mutual respect and recog-nition – two things he stood firm on in all of his work.”

“He was best known for his historic role in blocking the Meech Lake accord,” said a statement issued by the Anishnabek Nation Union

of Ontario Indians. “Many Canadians will remember the humble, yet, iconic fig-ure, seated in the House of Assembly raising his ever-present eagle feather refus-ing unanimous consent of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly.”

A number of people quick-

ly associated the 5.2 magni-tude earthquake centered near Ottawa, briefly shaking Quebec and Ontario Friday morning with the passing of Elijah Harper.

“Elijah Harper's passing shook the earth. Powerful man that one,” tweeted Wa-subgeshig Rice on Friday morning after receiving the news. “Coincidentally, the epicenter wasn't too far from Meech Lake.”

Rice also tweeted that Mr.

Harper “was the first public figure who made me proud to be Indigenous. Journey well.”

“He just had to shake the country one last time,” tweeted Maria Mae. “What a journey! May his Spirit soar free now. RIP Elijah Harper.”

Passionate about politics, Mr. Harper was first elected Chief of Red Sucker Lake First Nation when he was 29 years old. His path led him to become the first First Nation person to be elected to the Manitoba Legisla-ture, where he served for 11 years entering national poli-tics, elected Liberal MP for Churchill.

He not only received the National Aboriginal Achievement Award (re-cently renamed Indispire), he was named the Canadian Press Newsmaker of the Year in 1990, also receiving the Stanley Knowles Humanitar-ian Award that year “follow-ing his efforts to uphold the Constitution Act during the Meech Lake and Charlotte-town Accords,” said Atleo.

“Elijah Harper taught us that No meant Yes,” wrote Ojibway author Richard Wagamese on his Facebook page “No to government overstepping and overlook-ing our legitimate concerns and aspirations and Yes to our own empowerment, sov-ereignty, Indigeneity, cul-tures, traditions, ceremonies, languages, spirituality and our collective ongoing jour-ney to the ultimate expres-

sion of ourselves as distinct peoples. Journey on, brother, thanks for the blessings...”

Mr. Harper was made Honourary Chief for Life of Red Sucker Lake, and also was acknowledged for his public service by the Gov-ernor General, given the Commemorative Medal of Canada. He was awarded with the Order of Merit from St. Paul's University, and the Order of the Sash from the Manitoba Métis Federation. Elijah Harper was also given the Gold Eagle Award from the Indigenous Women's Collective in Manitoba.

As a federal politician, Mr. Harper sat on the Par-liamentary Standing Com-mittee of Aboriginal Affairs until 1997, and when he re-tired from public service, he spent a great deal of time vis-iting First Nations and meet-ing with Indigenous leaders across North America. He also worked with charities and was involved in inter-national humanitarian work.

The Prime Minister has not offered any public con-dolences to Elijah's family, nor issued any statements on his passing.

“That's just the attitude that he [Stephen Harper] shows towards First Na-tions,” said Chief LaForme. “The only way, unfortunate-ly, that the Prime Minister is going to say anything is if he's forced to say it.”

Services for Mr. Harper were held Monday in Win-nipeg, Manitoba.

Elijah Harper, modern hero, passes away

By Stephanie DearingSIX NATIONS

She was a trend-setting woman living during a time when women were not recognized as people in their own right. Born to a Mohawk father and an American mother and into a home environment where discourse between cultures was welcomed, the stage was set for Johnson's career long before she herself began to tread the boards.

“Women didn't have careers, they were expected to marry and have a family,” said Chiefswood Na-tional Historic Site curator, Karen Dearlove. “She was doing several things that, at that time, were not necessarily acceptable for women. She was a real ground breaker.”

That life is being celebrated this year in a special exhibition created by Site curator, Karen Dearlove.

“We call this exhibit the Career and Celebrity of E. Pauline Johnson,” said Dearlove. “We wanted to ex-plore in a contemporary light how significant she was and also how well known she was. By the turn of the century, by 1900, she was prob-ably one of the best-known people in Canada.”

But Johnson was also an interna-tional celebrity, a fact that comes out through the exhibit. Johnson had travelled across Canada sev-eral times, as well as the United States. Her journeys took her to England on three different visits. “At that time, that was just phe-nomenal for a person to do that,” said Dearlove.

Dearlove said the emphasis was on making a visual presentation of Pauline's career. “The problem is, we don't have any film foot-age, or any recordings.” But the

use of technology that did exist at the time – photography – pro-vides a background to the exhibit. A slide-show makes good use of photographs from the period, while more contemporary pieces add a modern flair.

Wherever Johnson visited, she drew attention, said Dearlove. “She was a fascinating person. She was doing something no one else was doing at that time. She was a very, very popular individual.”

That fame is reflected in the creation of a postage stamp for Pauline in 1961. “She is the first woman, other than the Queen, to appear on a postage stamp in Can-ada,” Dearlove said.

Johnson died from breast cancer in Vancouver in 1913, and was bur-ied in Vancouver's Stanley Park.

The exhibit about Pauline John-son will run until October 13, 2013.

“This is our day to celebrate who we are and what we stand for,” said Elected Councillor Bob Johnson, opening the 116th Six Nations celebration of the relationship with Queen Vic-toria.

Madison White, an eleven years old student who attends Lloyd S. King public school, gave the Thanksgiving Address. MPP and Speaker of the House, Dave Levac also attended to give greetings before the gathered thousands of people got their hunks of bread and cheese.

It was very hot on Monday, and the Gaylord Powless Arena was stifling, but remarkably only one person required medi-cal attention. Six Nations Police said a young man collapsed

shortly after distribution got underway, with signs of dehy-dration. The boy was taken to the West Haldimand hospital as a precaution.

The soon to be 101 year old Wilfred Jamieson attended this year's distribution, and Johnson pointed out his attendance. Johnson also honoured the memory of Nina Burnham, who recently passed away. Nina was a key figure at Bread and Cheese for many years.

The annual celebration marking the relationship between Six Nations and Queen Victoria began when the Queen was still alive. “On her birthday, the Queen would give gifts to the Six Nations people for their loyalty to the Crown during the War of 1812,” said Johnson. The tradition continued un-til Queen Victoria died in 1901. Six Nations Elected Council “revived this event by giving Bread and Cheese” starting in

1924, said Johnson.“This year being the 200 year anniversary of the War of 1812

makes Bread and Cheese even more special,” said Johnson.Levac said the celebration marks the friendship that has

extended in times past, “nation to nation.” The politician an-nounced to all present, “I am Metis and I am proud of it,” say-ing the day was a time when “we can come together in peace and harmony and respect.”

“This event is significant because it is an anniversary of the War of 1812,” Levac said later. He said the annual celebra-tion was a good way to remind people about “the beginnings of friendship and respect that began when Six Nations allied with the British..

“It behooves us to keep reminding people of the back-ground,” Levac said.

Bread and Cheese 2013


By Jim WindleSIX NATIONS

The annual Bread and Cheese game did not dis-appoint as the Six Nations’ Arrows took down the Brampton Excelsiors by the score of 12-5, and even that was generous.

Led by Randy Staats with 3 goals and 2 assists, and cap-tain Johnny Powless with 3 goals, the Arrows looked strong and well balanced in their home opener Monday afternoon before a large ILA crowd.

Warren Hill was full mea-sure to take the win making several remarkable saves on frustrated Brampton shoot-ers.

The game stared rather slow for both sides offensive-ly in the defensive minded first frame which ended 1-1.

Staats scored for the Ar-rows from Brendan Bomber-ry, while Gage Board scored for the Excelsiors.

Brampton applied some early pressure in the second period scoring a 1:16 and again at 2:24 to take a short lived 3-1 lead.

“We’re still just getting to know each other with guys still coming in from school and that,” said Brandon Mon-tour. “I don’t think we’ve had one practice with all of us here yet.”

Then suddenly, all the stars lined up for the Arrows in their traditional Orange uni-forms and they rattled off the next 11 goals, 9, in the sec-ond.

Johnny Powless was noth-ing short of sensational as he got his team on the right road with back-to-back goals at 5:07 and again at 7:03, both short handed to tie the game and swing the momentum fully in Six Nations favour.

His first goal was a high-light reel goal at any level of the game as he broke in on goal fending off two de-fenders with his left arm and just as he was parallel with the net deposited an under-handed, behind the back, one handed goal from an impos-sible angle.

That seemed to fire up the entire team and fans as well who were talking about the goal all afternoon.

“We knew coming in Brampton would be tough,” said Montour. “Brampton is always in the top five of the league so we knew we had to come at them.”

And come at them, they did.

Powless then tied the game assisted by his goaltender Hill, who send a long pass to the speeding Powless.

Staats and Haodais Ma-racle each with two, Kyle Isaacs, Seth Oaks and Wen-

ster Green closed the second period, leading 10-3.

As an example of how the game was going at that point of the game, Maracle’s sec-ond goal came with him on the bench. After firing an out-side shot that was partially handled by Brampton goalie Ryan Kelly, he made his way to the bench. But the ball was not dead and ever-so-slowly, rolled over the goal line be-tween Kelly’s feet.

Powless scored his third of

the game at 4:54 of the third with his third shorthanded marker of the game, to make it 11-3. Warren Hill assisted again with a long lead pass.

Brandon Montour scored his own highlight reel goal at 8:39 on a powerplay by find-ing twine with an over the shoulder backhander.

Brampton scored two late goals but in reality the game was over after the second pe-riod.

“We’re having fun out

there,” said Montour after the game. “Everyone seems to really like each other and we’ve got a pretty tight bunch of guys here.”

Last Monday, May 13, 2013, the Six Nations Ar-rows Express opened its 2013 season with a 14-11 road win against the Toronto Beaches.

It was a strong second pe-riod that made the difference after falling behind 5-4 in the first.

Toronto scored first but

two goals by Haodais Mar-acle and another by Brendan Bomberry put the Arrows on target by the 10:34 mark. Beaches Jordan Robertson made it 3-2 at 10:55. That was answered by Brier Jona-than 21 seconds later but To-ronto popped in three more to end the first period with the Beaches leading 6-5.

The slaughter of the rest of the OLA Jr. B continued this week with the 21-5 de-molition of the the previously undefeated Niagara Thunder-hawks on Friday night and Sunday’s vivisection of the St. Catharines Spartans, 13-3, at the ILA.

Sunday at the ILA, it was St. Catharines turn to feel the edge of the Six Nations Reb-els determination to three-peat as the National Founders Cup Champions to go 5-0 on the new season.

The Rebels opened up a 3-0 wound in the first period with goals scored by Frank Brown, Danton Miller, and captain Ian Martin.

Doug Jamieson got the start in the Rebels goal and handled the task well, turn-ing away several breakaways while providing a solid back stop for the Rebels offensive domination to be unleashed.

St Catharines got two goals back early in the second, the second a screen shot Jamie-son never saw.

Bo Henhawk showed why he has cracked the Rebels’ line up with the defensive play of the game, in the sec-ond period when St. Kitt’s Colton DeWolfe broke away with the ball and sped to-wards Jamieson, alone at first. Henhawk caught up with the speedy DeWolfe and just as he was about to shoot Henhawk clipped his stick. The shot beat Jamieson, but Henhawk’s intervention was just enough to force the shot off the post.

The Rebels rallied with goals by Mitch Green, Dal-las John and Tyler Longboat to end the period with the Rebels leading 6-2.

“There was some intensi-ty there and that’s what we wanted,” said captain Ian Martin. “You could tell in warm ups it was going to be a tighter game. Every time we play them, they’re a run and gun team. Our goalie came to play and kept us in the game.”

The flood gates were opened in the third period when Mitch Green connect-ed at the one minute mark from Dallas John. From then on it was like a shooting gal-lery around the St. Catha-rines net. Jesse Johnson, scored to make it 8-2, Aus-tin Staats put three in and Frank Brown added another. St. Kitts added one goal in the third somewhere in the flood of Six Nations goals, and Mitch Green ended the period like he started it with a goal as he knifed his way through the Spartans’ defense to score the 13th Rebels goal.

The hardest thing for the Rebels so far is not to get overconfident and to keep a sharp edge.

“We’ve got to stay in tip-top shape, even while blow-ing out teams,” said Martin. “It comes down to leadership on the team. The younger guys are going to watch us older guys to what we’re do-ing. If we keep playing hard it will rub off on them too.”

Friday night, after Ian Martin, Dallas John, Frank Brown and Zed Williams with 2 goals built up a 5 -0

lead, Niagara broke the string at 7:01, but the Rebels add-ed another at 17:21, Martin’s second of the game.

The Rebels outscored Ni-agara 7-2 in the second pe-riod with goals by Danton Miller, Daniel Bo Henhawk, Austin Staats and Williams, with this third of the game, Frank Brown and Mitch Green.

With the score 13-4, the third period was a matter of fattening up personal statis-tics as the Rebels unloaded another eight goals while Chase Martin allowed only one in the Six Nations net.

By the time the feeding frenzy was over, Zed Wil-liams had added five goals and seven assists for a 12

point night. Ian Martin scored two and assisted on seven for a nine point outing, Zack Williams assisted on seven, Jesse Johnson picked up six assists, while Danton Miller (2G,3A) and Austin Staats (3G,2A) each had five point games. Other Six Nations point getters included Mitch

Green (3G,1A), Frank Brown (3G,1A), Marcus Elvin (3A), Bo Henhawk (1G,1A), Dal-las John (1G,1A), Kessler Doolittle (1G) and Brody Tansley (1A), for a team to-tal of 61 points.

The undefeated Rebels now face the 1-5 Hamilton Bengals this coming Friday,

May 24th at the Dave An-dreychuk Arena in Hamilton, and the Welland Warlords in Welland, Sunday evening.

The Rebs are back home at the ILA on Friday, May 31st at 8 pm to take anoth-er crack at the Warlords who have only won one game so far this season.

The Six Nations Inter-mediate #2 Warriors were defeated by London 5-4 at the Gaylord Powless Arena Thursday night.

The Intermediates fought back from a 4-1 deficit to come within one goal of completing the comeback.

London’s Evan Galloway scored first at the halfway point of the first period. Lon-don then added another with a play started by a lone pass from the goaltender.

Tommy Jacobs got Six Na-tions going at 5:20 assisted by Broderick Rene and Tay-lor Jacob to end the first peri-od with London leading 2-1.

The visitors surprised Six Nations with two quick

goals to start the second pe-riod, but Matt Sandy notched Six Nations second goal at 13:01 from Trevor Jacobs and Mitch Henhawk to com-plete the second period with London ahead 4-2.

The Warriors drew close with Trevor Jacobs’ 4-3 goal assisted by Josh Whitlow and Henhawk. Penalty problems seemed to break the momen-tum for Six Nations who gave up a powerplay goal at the 12 minute mark of the third to restore London’s 2 goal advantage.

Six Nations pressed as the period evolved and were eventually rewarded with an-other goal. With 1:24 remain-ing, Rene scored to bring it back to a one goal game. Un-fortunately for the Warriors there was not enough time

left on the clock to find the tying goal and London car-ried off the 5-4 win.

Earlier in the evening, the Six Nations Bantams took a 6-3 decision over the visit-ing Lincoln team in a game which saw solid goaltending by Mike Martin-Able, espe-cially late in the game, to save the day for Six Nations.

The come from behind win started out with Lincoln tak-ing a 2-0 lead. Late in the first period, Harley VanEv-ery scored for Six Nations to cut the Lincoln lead in half, heading into the second pe-riod.

Riding on a five assist per-formance by Six Nations’ set-up man Riley LaForme-Hess, and three goals, plus an assist by Irey Bomberry, the Bantams stormed back.

The formula to suc-

cess for the two-time NLL champions, the Rochester Knighthawks, seems to be simple, yet very difficult for a team to achieve.

“We try to cultivate that family atmosphere and make sure everybody is al-right and feel welcome,” said Styres as he proudly paraded the Championship Cup around for the com-munity to see on Bread and

Cheeses Day, Monday. “All the guys are happy

to be there and that’s the main thing this season. Once you get a happy group of guys, there’s no limits to what you can do when ev-eryone is dancing to the same song.”

Through the Jr. A Arrows Express, which he also owns, and the affiliate Jr. B Rebels, Styres and team president Louis Staats Jr. try to get to know the young Six Nations talent coming through the system, as well

as watching the best up and coming non-Native talent to mix together in one winning combination.

“We try to cultivate that family atmosphere and make sure everybody is al-right and feel welcome. The guy sitting next to you is the closest thing to a brother you can get.”

The player contracts are coming up which may break up this year’s combination, but Styres hopes he can to keep this winning team to-gether.

Over the past three sea-sons especially, getting a spot in the Knighthawks roster has become one of the hardest things to do. Es-pecially after back-to-back championships.

“We invited some play-ers out who would rather go to a team, but they feel they stand a better chance of making the team some-where else,” says Styres.

That’s the kind of prob-lem any team owner or gen-eral manager would dream of having.

Curt Styres’ formula to Lax success

Durston scored two and Bomb-erry and Josh Johnson added singles to give the Arrows Ex-press an 8-5 lead heading into the third.

There were 12 goals scored in the final 20 minutes of the game, six for each side, as the Arrows hung on for the 14-11 win. Arrows third period goal came from Tehoka Nanticoke, Matthew Gaudet, Durston, Kyle Isaacs, Maracle and Ty-son Bomberry.

Maracle, Brendan Bomberry and Durston each finished the game with five points.

The Arrows head to Oran-geville to face the Northmen before returning home Sunday, May 26th to host the Peterbor-ough Lakers at the ILA.

Chief Bryan LaForme pledged the Mississaugas of New Credit will find a way to support the work of the Hagersville Food Bank dur-ing the official opening of the organization last Saturday.

“It's unfortunate that we need these types of insti-tutions to provide to the needy,” said LaForme before a yellow ribbon was cut to symbolize the opening of the food bank. LaForme said the Mississaugas of New Credit wanted to support the food bank “because we think it's important and it's needed.”

“If we were living in a per-fect world, there wouldn't be food banks,” said food bank coordinator Janice Schweder. “But the reality is, bad things happen to good people. They lose jobs, they have disabili-ties, marriages break down and many seniors have diffi-culty just making ends meet. As a result, we've got 40 fam-ilies living in the Hagersville community that we're cur-rently servicing. And with the current situation out at Nanticoke, I'm sure there's going to be many more.”

Schweder was referring to the lock-out of steel workers at US Steel Nanticoke. The workers were locked out in April after union members

voted to reject a contract of-fer, putting the union in strike position.

The food bank has been open since December 6, and Schweder credits its success to the cooperation of Hag-ersville residents, primarily those involved in the Cham-ber of Commerce. Initially the food bank was to be op-erated from the basement of the community center, but the Almas family stepped forward offering to rent out their building on 5 Marathon Street, and that is where the food bank is found.

Schweder said the commu-nity is behind the food bank, working to ensure those in need can access food. “Busi-nesses, churches, schools, private individuals donate food items, money and their time as volunteers,” she said. The food bank has 70 volun-teer staff, “and that's not even counting the high school stu-dents.”

On Saturday, people were given two opportuni-ties to contribute to the on-going fund-raising for the food bank. Heaslip Ford of-fered to donate $20 per per-son though a campaign they called Drive 4 UR Com-munity. Rob Phillips, who works at Heaslip and who sits on the food bank board of directors, said Saturday after-noon he knew at least $2,000

had been raised for the food bank on Saturday.

The Haldimand Quilt Guild had donated a quilt to the food bank, and tick-ets were being sold to raise funds.

MP Diane Finley was scheduled to attend the opening, but was unable to attend. MPP Toby Barrett was around earlier on Satur-day, but was not able to stay for the ribbon-cutting.

The food bank is open ev-ery Thursday from noon to 4 pm. People seeking more information can contact the food bank by calling 289-758-3789.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you don’t always have the an-

swers when it comes to your roman-tic relationship, but that’s alright. There are no rule books for this type of thing; you learn as you go.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, your life has been relatively

tranquil. However, you have been itching to do something fun and adventurous to turn things around. This could be the week for that.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21You may find that one of your cowork-

ers is more critical of your work than usual, Gemini. Don’t take it the wrong way, as constructive criti-cism can be a good thing.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, things have calmed down

considerably in your life. This week presents a good opportunity to take a trip that is geared entirely around your interests.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, remain modest about your per-

sonal and professional accomplish-ments this week. Now is not the time to show off. Be humble in your conversations.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, as inviting as a situation may

look, appearances can be deceiving. You may want to dip your toe into the water before you dive right into something.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, this week you need to be extra

cautious if you are in the middle of any business dealings. All it can take is the slightest misstep to turn ev-erything around.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, things beyond your control

may be contributing to sour feelings this week. Look at the bright side of any situation and you can probably find a solution that works.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you are seldom soft spo-

ken, but this week you may have to be even more assertive to get your point across. Otherwise your opin-ions might fall on deaf ears.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Try to get outside as much as possi-

ble this week, Capricorn. The fresh air and sunshine can do wonders for your mood. Plus, you can get in some exercise.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Do not follow the examples of others

when they act irrationally to a cer-tain situation, Aquarius. Although it can be difficult, you need to take the high road.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Take a chance and express all of your

goals and hopes this week, Pisces. Others may be surprised at what you have to say.
