"INDIAN FOR THE "PEN"," Kingston Daily Standard. October 15, 1913. Page 2. ---- He Will Make Third Red Man Now in Confinement. ---- Joseph Brant, aged 24 years, an Indian from the Tyendinaga Reserve, was on Tuesday sentenced by Magistrate Masson, at Belleville, to three years in the Portsmouth penitentiary, after conviction of theft after midnight of a purse containing $45 and two transportation tickets worth $50 from an Italian. The money was discovered in Brant's sock, and the tickets lie somewhere between Belleville and Trenton on the Grand Trunk right-of-way.

Brant and his cousin were coming home to Tyendinaga after spending the harvest season in Saskatchewan. They got on the train No. 8, and between Belleville and Trenton got into the car, where an Italian, Giachini Villani was. They sat in along with him. Villani was asleep. Brant says he was intoxicated. When he wakened up he found his purse, tickets and a bottle of liquor gone.

There are already two Indians doing time in the big penitentiary, and according to the authorities they are model prisoners when kept busy. They take their confinement with the natural stoicism of their race and give but little trouble, performing their alloted tasks with care seldom needing correction or discipline.

[Brant was 24, a boiler operator and coal heaver in the winters and a harvester during the fall season, had no previous record. He was convict #F-663 and worked in the coal and wood gang. He was never reported, and was paroled in late 1915.]

My ideal role of environmental interpreter would likely involve enforcing the importance of the environment and the species we share it with to people who may not initially value these things. Especially with the growing problems associated with climate change, habitat fragmentation, etc., I believe enforcing positive relationships with nature is a very important and useful endeavor.

Working with children to teach these ideas is very appealing to me as I know how impactful it was for me to be led by environmental interpreters during class trips as a child. On the other hand, though, I believe the importance of teaching adults who may not have had these experiences that they can also become involved and see the value in nature is often overlooked. This was discussed in the textbook readings for this week, and it made me reflect more on how my initial image of myself as an environmental interpreter often only involved teaching younger people. This further reflection has led me to think that in addition to younger children, I would like to be involved in interpretation for older people who may not have grown up surrounded by nature or having any relationship with it at all. I could see this work being very fulfilling to find unique and personalized ways to connect individuals with the environment in a meaningful way for what may be the first time in their lives.

I would love to do this interpretation work in an area that is important to me, as I feel the preexisting connection I have with a location would make the process of finding many ways to connect people with it easier. Places like Tyendinaga Caves and Caverns, Hell Holes Nature Trails, the Frink Centre, etc., all have the classic Ontario forest, rock, and rivers/ponds that I have grown up with, and all of these areas have a special place in my heart. I can imagine, though, that I would be able to quickly form these connections with any natural landscape I find myself in, for example as trips throughout my life to Saskatchewan built the same connections with the vastly different flat plains of that region.

Some skills that are important for the purposes of environmental interpretation include public speaking, exuding confidence, a strong sense of knowledge and memory, as well as storytelling to convey information effectively. I also believe that interpersonal skills, such as patience, understanding, and empathy would be crucial to understanding the point of view of the group being taken on this journey. The topics discussed in this unit about types of learners has definitely inspired me to reflect more on how information can be relayed in a variety of ways, and I think one way to learn more about this is through collaboration with others who have different learning processes.

I would be curious to hear from others in this course, what are some of the most impactful or memorable moments of environmental interpretation you have experienced, and do you know what about the experience made it resonate with you?

Normally the settlement of claims to property are something the court system takes very seriously. The very foundation of capitalism after all is that some person can claim ownership of a piece of land, and through that ownership charge others rent to use it.

Or that ownership of machinery can be used to take most of the value of what the workers using the machines produce to sell for profit. Obviously such a system depends on the courts and the threat of violence to prevent those actually doing the work or living on the land telling the ‘owner’ to get lost.

The major exception is when those with the legal claims are from the First Nations, in particular when the claim is one of collective ownership by a community to the land. Then rather than usual pattern of careful investigation and prompt decisions we see the most absurd ‘sales’ treated as valid, legal documents all but torn up and legal processes drawn out for decades without conclusion. Meanwhile the courts are used to suppress the protests of those who appear to have the best legal claim to ownership.

In 1995 Tyendinaga Mohawks submitted an official land claim which included the gravel quarry worked by Thurlow Aggregates. It took till 2003 for the claim to be acknowledged as legitimate by the Canadian government. Yet this did not halt the quarrying, the Ontario government continued to renew the license to Thurlow and thousands of truckloads of gravel continued to leave.

Another occupation began February 2006 when members of Six Nations reclaimed the Douglas Creek Estates bordering Caledonia. Their claim is based on the fact that the so called agreement where they were said to have surrendered this land was obviously invalid. Yet far from waiting on the sidelines until the courts resolved this the police in April moved in to evict them.

So why don’t the Canadian courts jump to the defense of indigenous property rights in the manner they would if workers occupied a factory or tenants refused to pay rent to a landlord?

Fundamentally they face the problem that courts all over the Americas face. Capitalism in the Americas was built out of a massive theft where the existence of the indigenous populations who were living on the land was not even recognized. Indigenous nations that tried to defend their usage were murdered. Many were enslaved in the mines and the estates of the new owners. Across the America’s any legal system that recognized the de facto claim to the land by those who had been living on it would undermine the base of North American capitalism.

Historic conditions in Canada meant that here more than elsewhere the colonial power was forced to concede some recognition that there were people already living on the land. Legal treaties recognizing this are thus more common and of quite recent origin. Yet at the same time a significant wing of capitalism in Canada makes it profits from the massive extraction of resources from the land covered by such treaties.

A speedy and fair resolution of the land disputes would be a major problem for these corporations and the courts and government know this. This is why last August Canada was one of only four countries to vote against a UN declaration on indigenous rights.

noelle’s Love Song “Mars” has us In Love

Hot on the heels of her cross-country tour with Virginia to Vegas & Ria Mae, iHeartRadio’s Future Star noelle delivers self-proclaimed ‘sappy’ love song “Mars” just in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s “about finding your soul person,” she explains. “Someone that makes you want to be a better version of yourself. I hope everyone can relate to this feeling ‘cause it’s one of the best.” Raised on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, in a family and community that surrounded her with music, noelle’s upbringing exposed her to a vast range of musical genres, from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan, to the pow wow drum and native wind flute from her Indigenous roots. Expressing her thoughts and emotions at her piano, coupled with a reality she sought to transcend, noelle began writing her own music as a therapeutic form of self-expression. From casually posting cover songs on YouTube, she organically built a following of over 95K subscribers, and landed a deal with Wax Records at the age of 17.

While Arther smells different, he also still smells the same. Most precisely, he smells like family. It's hard to let go, but when familiar hands wrap around her face -- rough, but warm. They angle her face differently, revealing the line of scars on her throat, lining up to her neck -- they used to be deep, and the lines are nowhere near straight; it's clear they were ripped in slow. The nickname, the question -- they make her voice crack as she answers. "Tyen." Tyendinaga -- the oldest of the three Leaf siblings, her oldest brother. Had there been any consequences? Of course not.

"He wants to challenge for Alpha.", she adds, before leaning her head against his chest, taking deep breaths, "I missed you so much.", she admits, "You were my family, and then you were just gone." Shaking her head, the werwolf takes a few deep breaths.

Strong arms wrapped around the woman as she closed the gap and hugged him, the wolf returning the hug while shoving his face into her hair and closing his one eye tightly. He had a lot of feelings...smelling the pack he had given so much to only to be kicked out when he needed them most, being isolated from those he considered family, the scent of the young woman he considered a daughter....but right now he just wanted to milk this moment for all he could.

"I know doll...its ok." he stated softly, rubbing her back gently. "They are fuckers like that." he stated sadly, pulling away a little to cup her face in calloused hands. His brow furrowed at her question, a little more distracted at the new scars on her. He angled her head up, his eye getting hard. "Who did that to ya?" He asked, voice growling.
