The chief of Manto Sipi Cree Nation (MSCN) at God’s River in northeastern Manitoba told attendees of the Mining and Minerals Convention in Winnipeg that he opposes the role of the provincial govern-ment’s Mining Advisory Council in mining explor-ation and development in Northern Manitoba.

“When I heard the pres-entation by the minister’s Mining Advisory Council, I had to speak out because the impression I got was that the advisory coun-cil was representing the voice of all First Nations and setting the stage how First Nations will conduct consultation and resource development in their terri-tories,” said Chief Michael Yellowback in a Nov. 20 press release. “I had to set the record straight that Manto Sipi Cree Nation for one will not agree to any decision of the advisory council and the Province of Manitoba on matters of policy, processes or any agreement on resource development.”

Yellowback said Manto Sipi Cree Nation believes that any legislation, regu-lation, government policy or arrangement that af-fects First Nation rights is subject to Crown-First nation consultation. The Mining Advisory Council announced and signed a declaration of priorities at the Mining and Minerals Convention on Nov. 19

that included guidelines on consultation, resource development and engage-ment, establishment of a First Nation Economic De-velopment Corporation and a revenue-sharing mech-anism.

“I have no objection to resource development but I will not support policies or arrangements that may at the end of the day be im-posed on us,” Yellowback said. “Manto Sipi Cree Na-tion will object to new ap-proaches to consultation, resource development and engagement, and revenue sharing where consent has not been obtained from MSCN. I support the concept of revenue shar-ing and it is an intermedi-ate half-step towards the full realization of resource equity management. Our treaties are testaments that natural resources are to be shared and our rights to subsurface minerals were never the subject of treaty negotiations. I also believe there should be a legal duty to consult by the govern-ment of Manitoba on any revenue-sharing arrange-ment as it relates to our treaties. I strongly remind [Mineral Resources] Min-ister [Dave] Chomiak that we have our own processes and institutions where we reach agreements collect-ively. I certainly don’t want the advisory council to pre-empt or affect our nego-tiations at the community level and ultimately affect our aboriginal and treaty rights. Again, Manto Sipi

Cree Nation for one will not accept unilateral imposition on matters relating to re-source development on our ancestral lands.”

The Mining Advisory Council includes represent-atives of First Nations and the mining industry, was created in 2013 to ensure that First Nations that want to participate are always consulted on every aspect of resource development, with specifi c duties includ-ing providing advice and recommendations on re-

source revenue and benefi t sharing with First Nations, promoting and increasing First Nations business op-portunities such as joint ventures, participating in training and employment initiatives, strengthening environmental protection and stewardship, and en-suring full consultations continue with First Nations.

Chomiak said at the time it was established that the creation of the council builds on other government initiatives regarding educa-

tion, training and aborig-inal business development such as the $4.6 million Northern Manitoba Mining academy in Flin Flon, more than $13 million worth of orphaned and abandoned mine site rehabilitation projects awarded to First Nations contractors and business owners, and the Mineral Resources Train-ing Program partnership between government, the mining industry and Mani-toba Keewatinowi Okima-kanak that provides pre-

employment training in mining-related occupations like prospecting, explora-tion, mining and environ-mental management.

Mining is Manitoba’s second-largest resource industry with 40 explora-tion and mining compan-ies that employ more than 900 aboriginal workers, the province says. In 2012, the combined value of min-eral production for metals and industrial minerals in Manitoba was more than $1.5 billion.

A pair of Northern Mani-toba schools are among four recipients across the province receiving $250 grants from the Manitoba branch of The Kidney Foundation of Canada to support their Drop the Pop challenges.

D.R. Hamilton School on Cross Lake First Nation and Peter Yassie Memor-ial School in Tadoule Lake received the grants along with Langruth Elementary School in Langruth and Mulvey School in Win-nipeg. The grants, which are being given out for the fi rst time this year, are also funded by CN Rail, and were available to ele-mentary schools with a signifi cant aboriginal stu-dent population. Nineteen applications for the grants were received and the re-cipients were chosen based on the concrete steps they outlined for promoting nutritional health to their students.

“We are thrilled that principals and teachers from across Manitoba are going to help spread the word to children that it’s

important to take care of your kidneys. One way of doing this is to cut back on sugar,” explains Val Dunphy, executive direc-tor of The Kidney Founda-tion of Canada – Manitoba Branch. “As November is National Diabetes Aware-ness Month, we think it is a perfect time to get students thinking about nutrition and the connec-tion between diabetes and kidney health.”

A Drop the Pop challenge involves school staff and community members work-ing together to educate students about the health pitfalls of pop and other sugary drinks by asking them to not drink them for a week and teaching them about making healthy life-style choices. The school also receive health promo-tion tools and a Drop the Pop curriculum with lesson plans and handouts along with the grant.

D.R. Hamilton School will have students sign up for the Drop the Pop challenge, which they will do again in the spring to measure improvements. Other activities will include a poster contest for young-

er students while older stu-dents may make videos about kidney disease and its potential effects, like amputation. Grant money will be used to purchase vegetables for contest win-ners to take home or give to a community elder of their choice. Students will also learn about traditional foods and making them healthier by using whole-wheat fl our in bannock or cooking moose meat by methods other than frying.

“This is exciting,” said Florence Benson-Umpherville, principal of D.R. Hamilton School, in a press release announcing the grants. “Our school can promote healthy choices and invite our students and their families to participate in this challenge with em-phasis on informing the general public about the dangers of kidney dis-ease.”

Peter Yassie Memorial School will disseminate traditional cultural know-ledge by inviting elders to teach students about gath-ering and using traditional berries and teas instead of drinking pop and energy drinks and use the grant

money to provide healthy snacks in one of Mani-toba’s northernmost com-munities, where four litres of milk can cost $14.99.

“Drop The Pop is an ex-citing experience for our students here at Peter Yassie Memorial School where they will demon-strate awareness of the importance of making right choices about what they drink,” said Peter Yassie Memorial School princi-pal Geoffrey Ndibali. “It is our belief as staff that this experience will impact positively on our students’ health behaviours when it comes to their consumption of sugary beverages. We believe that a healthy stu-dent has a healthy mind.”

The Drop the Pop chal-lenge is part of The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s curriculum for aboriginal schools called Our Children, Their Health, Our Future. The foundation notes that diabetes, along with high blood pressure, is a lead-ing cause of chronic kidney disease, for which there is no cure and which requires dialysis or kidney trans-plants for people in the late stages of the disease.

NICKEL BELT NEWS

The Kang’s Taek-wondo Academy re-opened on Sept. 9, 2013 in Lac Brochet. Nelson Nataweyous and Brandon Nataweyous reopened the Lac Brochet Taekwondo Club. Master Modest Ant-sanen had opened the club in 1996 and it closed down in 2010.

We have been to two tournaments: one in Win-nipeg last April 26 and one in The Pas on Oct. 18. We had 12 competi-tors in Winnipeg and 16 competitors in The Pas. We won gold, silver, and bronze medals. We also went to Winnipeg last Feb. 8 for black belt test-ing. There were four of us who went. Our instructor has gone on a couple of instructor seminars in Winnipeg and Minneap-olis, Minnesota.

All of these trips have been fundraised by bingo and volleyball tourna-ments. We are a non-prof-it organization. The main fundraisers are Linda Veuillot, Sophie Tsses-saze, Shannon Samuel, and Marlena Denechezhe. We have a few sponsors, including Keewatin Tribal Council, Manitoba Kee-watinowi Okimakanak, Awasis Agency of North-

ern Manitoba, Northlands First Nation, Perimeter Aviation, and the local people.

We have a mas-ter Instructor, Joe Ben Nataweyous, who comes from The Pas to test the students. He has been to Lac Brochet four times and will be back in Lac Brochet for the fi fth pro-motion test on Dec. 5.

The fundraisers and I do this as an extra-curricular activity for the students and community members. We receive no payment for our time. The only payment we receive is the smiles on the faces of the students and com-munity members.

There will be fi ve red belts that will be going to The Pas on Dec. 13 for a seminar. Chief Leo Dettanikkeaze is one of them. In February, there will be seven of us that will be going to Winnipeg for black belt testing. On April 25, we will be going to our third tournament.

The Lac Brochet Taek-wondo Club thanks all those who support the team.

Nelson Nataweyous is a taekwondo instructor with the Lac Brochet Taekwondo Club and a Grade 7/8 teacher at Petit Casimir Memorial School in Lac Brochet.

Tataskweyak Cree Nation needs more doctors, says chiefBY MOLLY GIBSON [email protected]

It’s a busy time for Tata-skweyak Cree Nation, as an election was held on Nov. 11, and newly elected members are learning the ropes. With 1,200 eligible voters, 700 stepped out and voted for whom they want-ed as chief and council.

Duke Beardy was elected as chief with 312 votes. Beardy says he’s pleased with the results. “I think the strength in the coun-cil we have now certainly gives us a good team to focus on the challenges we have here, and to move forward. I feel positive with being able to move for-ward, even with the issues we have at large.”

Beardy was happy with how many people voted. “I think the voter turnout was very good. It was quite a busy time in our com-

munity. I am very pleased, we had a huge number of candidates for chief and council, and having them express their interest in helping the community was great.”

One issue Beardy spoke about was the quality of water in the community. “The quality of water is an issue in our commun-ity, and there are so many illnesses and diseases that are impacting the community. We attribute that to the quality of our water.”

Along with water, doc-tors visiting the commun-ity is another problem, Beardy said. “In this com-munity we haven’t had a doctor visit in nearly six months, and we have a population nearing 3,000. That is one of the prior-ities for me to focus on, to ensure we have the servi-

ces. What we are entitled to for this community like nurses is not nearly what we’re getting today. Our nurses in the commun-ity are trying their best, but they’re very over-whelmed.”

Beardy hopes to hold the government and or-ganizations accountable. “We want to ensure agree-ments with organizations and the government, whether that be provin-cial or federal, honour our respected rights and in-terests on those. We need to hold them accountable to that. We want to make sure we get what we need and what we’re entitled to.”

The biggest obstacle Tataskweyak Cree Nation has, Beardy says, is the doctor shortage, and plans to make that the priority moving forward. With the

help of the elected coun-cil, he says that will be able to happen. “We need to be able to establish a good communication be-tween ourselves. We need to get together, discuss, and have good dialogue frequently. This is a very good team we have, I am really glad they’re in there.”

Norma Flett, Nathan Neckoway, Mary Flett, Eli-jah Dick, Alwyn Keeper, and Doreen Spence were all elected to sit on coun-cil.

Words of encouragement help counteract negativity

On Oct. 8, 1871, a fi re started in a barn near the city of Chicago. No one really knows how it was started, but we do know that it was the beginning of the Great Chicago Fire. After three days burn-ing, about a third of the city was destroyed. The fi re resulted in 100,000 people left homeless, 300 dead and what would be today close to $4 billion in damage. All was started by a mere fl ame, likely no bigger than a match or a candle.

In 1912, another event impacted the world, the sinking of the Titanic. The great tragedy happened when one of the world’s biggest ocean liners struck an iceberg and sunk. The Titanic was an impressive 882 feet long, not a small boat. However, when you think about the size of the ship, the rudder, which steers the ship, is actually

quite small. The Titanic’s rudder was only 1.5 per cent the length of the ship. It was such a small part of the boat, but played such a huge role in its oper-ation.

The apostle James uses these two analogies when he talks about the human tongue in James 3:1-12. He says they are similar in that they are so small, like a match, but when used improperly can cause much damage, like a wild-fi re. Ships are steered by a small rudder, wherever the captain desires. Similar-ly, our character and our

reputation is very quickly affected by the words that we use, and the way we talk to each other.

We are encouraged to use our tongues for good, and not evil. I have heard it said that when someone is told a lie, a degrading comment, or is bullied, it can take up to 17 times telling that person a good thing, or building them up, just to counteract that negative word. Isn’t that a lot? This, along with the passage in James 3, tells me two things.

One, we need to be very careful with our words.

If they carry so much power, like a match, we need to be extra cautious that we don’t throw them into a dry haystack. We shouldn’t be gossiping about our neighbours; we shouldn’t be subtly mak-ing fun of that kid in our class. The words we say affect us, as well as them. It’s important to remember that when we speak words of blessing and encour-agement, we help fi ght against the negativity and lies that others have been told.

This also tells me that we need to encourage others as much as we can. There is enough going around today that tells us we are not good enough and that we need more stuff to be happy. We see it everywhere. If you want to counteract this negativ-ity, be the encouragement someone around you needs today!

Candles lit for those who servedThe Royal Canadian

Legion Branch #241 held their annual Candlelight Tribute Ceremony at the Veteran’s Corner Ceno-taph at 6:30 p.m. on the evening of Nov. 5. For the second year now, there were close to 50 people in attendance, a noteworthy and welcome trend for this yearly observance. Once again the weather was cool, but there was warmth that emulated from the service itself and from congregating with others in the act of re-membrance.

Leader of the assembly, Legion president Sharon Stubbs opened the service at the appointed time and began, “ln recognition of Veterans’ Week we wel-come you to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #241 Candlelight Tribute Service. During this week, Nov. 5-11, hundreds of commemorative ceremon-ies and events will take place across the country to recognize the achieve-ments of our veterans and honour those who made the ultimate sacrifi ce. During Veterans’ Week there are many ways to show that you remember and honour our veter-ans: Pin a poppy above your heart, attend the lo-cal Remembrance Day ceremony, talk to a friend or relative who has just returned home from Af-ghanistan or who served in other areas of confl ict, listen to veterans talk about their experiences,” Stubbs offered. “Above all, we must vow never to forget. However you choose to remember, be sure to share with every-one you know. Together, it is our duty to pass on the legacy and keep the mem-ories of Canadian veterans alive. Please take time to remember! Canadian vets never forgot us, so let’s not forget them,” she add-ed.

President Stubbs then called Halleigh Johnston, great granddaughter of WWII veteran Eric Stoltz and the daughter of Af-ghanistan veteran Kelly Johnston, forward to recite

the “Commitment to Re-member.” Miss Johnston said: They were young, as we are young. They served, giving freely of themselves. To them we pledge, amid the winds of time, to carry their torch and never forget. We will remember them. Lord God of host, be with us yet, Lest we Forget, Lest we Forget.

When Miss Johnston receded back to the as-sembly, comrade Cathy Stabback read The Vet-erans’ Prayer. Following this, Mrs. Stubbs stated that she would like to remember her husband, veteran Gerry Stubbs, and she also lit a candle for and acknowledged the fol-lowing veterans who no longer have family living in Snow Lake: Herb Hal-verson, Gordon Kitchen, John Dutka, Hanley Dah-le, Harry Graham, Peter Tataryn, AIbert Schweit-zer, Peter Smadella, Gor-don Rupp, Clayton Robin-son, Jim Kjalgaard, Norm Lindsey, Stan Major, Paul Neilson, Lorne Porter, George Gamble, Joe Wal-ters, Jack Goodall, Wilf Lipton, Jake Bitzer, and Fred and Eileen Burr.

Subsequently, comrades Stubbs and Stabback began calling forward those who wished to lay candles: Gail Eastman/Halleigh Johnston laid the fi rst in memory of her father/great grandfather WWll vet Eric Stoltz, WWI vet Harry Roberts, and Afghanistan vet Chad Horn. Desert Storm vet-eran Darren Longpré placed his candle for Ko-rean vet Lucien Longpre.

Agnes Hornyak and Den-nis Hornyak for Korean vets Russell, Roy, and Glenn MacDonald and for WWll vets Joe, Andy, and George Galambos. Joanne Bradley laid a candle for WWII vet Bob Bradley. Jody Wilson and Cam Booth for her father WWII vet Ted Wilson. Maralyn Romanuik for her father WWII vet Gordon McKer-cher. Ella Nogier for WWII vet Boedy Glidden. Mari-lyn and John Humeniuk for her father WWII vet Robert Wilson and WWI vet Art Wilson. Teacher Twila Korchinski for WWl vet Joseph H. Kerr. Lois Charron for WWII vet Jake Bitzer. Marc Jackson for his father WWII vet Ian M. Jackson. Leone Jackson for WWII vet Joan Cur-rie. Betty and Brian Hicks for WWII vet Gordon R. Doak, WWII vet Eileen

Burr, and for all fallen soldiers. Joyce Radford for WWII vet Ken Rad-ford and WWII vet Peggy Radford. Darlene and Bill Pleasance for her parents WWll vets Covert and Doreen (nee Wanama-ker) Armsworthy, The Wanamaker family (WWII vets) and the McLean and Pleasance family (WWII and WWI vets). Richard Jones for Boer War vet Ri-chard Jones. Jackie Jones for WWII vets Dave and George Carrier. Kim Ste-phens and Richard Jones for the Town of Snow Lake. Katie Spruyt for Opa Spruyt. Sydney, Darcy, and Connor Coulson for their great grandfather WWII vet Gordon R. Doak. Rick Leaman for all veter-ans, and Phyllis Verbeek for Tom Verbeek.

Comrade Cathy Stab-back then recited ‘For-

get Them Not’, she began: We’ve lined their boots all in a row, And amongst them stand, The saddest scene I’ll ever know, Goodbye dear friend, goodbye! Through mud and rain and battle blows, We cried cursed prayers, On blood-soaked clothes; And from that wound his life did flow, Please stay we begged, please stay! There is a time that sol-diers know, When so many die, That the pain and woe, ls too much for the mind to hold; Roll on your drums, roll on! A band of brothers stand in their rows; The empty boots still, Where a life did grow, Our friends have gone, no more to know; Remember them always, Remember!

To end the ceremony, president Stubbs very

fittingly called veteran Darren Longpré (who stood on guard as those congregated laid their candles) forward to re-cite the “Act of Remem-brance,” which is the fourth stanza of Law-rence Binyon’s poem, “For the Fallen.” He stated with the emotion that all in attendance felt on this cold evening: They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will re-member them.

Mrs. Stubbs thanked everyone for attending and noted that the can-dles would remain lit until Nov. 11. Attendees gathered in the Legion for cake, coffee, and camaraderie.

2015 colour forecast: grey is here to stayFor the second year in

a row, grey is projected to be the most popular hue for home interiors, according to Debbie Zim-mer, spokesperson for the Paint Quality Institute, which issues an annual forecast on colour trends.

“This is the fi rst time any colour has headlined our forecast in back-to-back years,” says Zimmer, “but grey, a near-perfect neutral colour, has really caught on.”

What’s so special about grey?

“It’s very easy on the eyes. It’s understated and sophisticated. And most tints and shades of grey are ‘chameleon’ colours that change appearance when the light changes, so they provide enormous visual interest,” says Zim-mer.

Another reason for its popularity: Grey is a very versatile colour that co-ordinates beautifully with a wide range of hues. As a result, it can be used in many different colour schemes and with almost any style of décor.

“Pairing grey with one

or more neutral colours – white, off-white, beige, taupe, soft blue, or black – can produce a tranquil colour scheme capable of making an indoor space more relaxing,” says Zim-mer. “That’s why we so often see these combina-tions in areas where we seek refuge and comfort, such as bedrooms and family rooms.

“But grey can also serve as an ideal foil for more adventurous colour, ran-ging from saturated hues like purple, fuchsia, rust, and navy to softer tints like dusty pink and pale lavender. Colour schemes employing these com-binations can be used in virtually any room in the home,” she says.

Of course, “grey” refers not just to one colour, but to many – running the gamut from delicate silver tints to powerful shades of gunmetal, charcoal, and slate. In each, black and white is present, but often, traces of other col-ours, too. According to Zimmer, these “trace col-ours” provide valuable clues as to what works

best with a given grey. “Greys that contain

traces of warm hues like red, yellow, or brown seem cozier, and partner best with warm compan-ion colours. On the other hand, greys that have hints of blue or green seem cooler and more austere, so they are in-herently more compatible with colours on the cooler

side of the spectrum,” she says.

Sometimes, it’s easy to identify the trace colours that appear in grey, but not always. Where paint colour is concerned, you can simply ask the counterperson about the colour formula to fi nd out whether the grey contains warm or cool elements, and let that

guide your selection of companion colours.

Warm or cool, grey is a great colour for any in-terior. And it’s a colour that will stand the test of time.

Since 1989, the Paint Quality Institute has been educating people on the advantages of using quality interior and exterior paints and

coatings. The Paint Qual-ity Institute’s goal is to help educate consumers, contractors and design-ers by providing infor-mation on the virtues of quality paint as well as colour trends and decor-ating with paint.

The Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) RCMP de-tachment is looking for 27-year-old Michael Dale Flett of OCN in connection with an October assault.

OCN RCMP attended a report of an injured male at a residence on OCN just after 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 12. They found a 40-year-old man from The Pas who had been severely beaten and took him to hospital with ser-ious non-life-threatening injuries.

Flett is described as aboriginal, 5’10”, weigh-ing approximately 200 pounds, with short black hair, brown eyes, and fa-cial hair. He has tattoos of a cross and “315” on his right arm. RCMP says Flett is considered dan-gerous and should not be approached.

Anyone with informa-tion on his whereabouts can call OCN RCMP at 204-627-6244 or call

Crime Stoppers anonym-ously at 1-800-222-8477. They can also sub-mit a secure tip online at
