A day after resigning as mayor of South Bruce Peninsula, Garry Michi has apologized for his comments about a local water treatment plant and people in the First Nation community in Ontario.

"I deeply regret the words I used during a personal conversation and the subsequent impact they have had," said Michi in an email to CBC News.

"I want to acknowledge the harm caused by my ignorant, insensitive and poorly chosen words, and I want to sincerely apologize for the damage this has caused to the relationship between myself, the town and the First Nations community."

Michi was recorded in an audio clip that was posted Friday by an anonymous individual. In it, he questions the federal government's decision to fund a water treatment plant on the Chippewas of the Nawash Unceded First Nation, also known as Cape Croker.

The comments drew immediate fire from Indigenous groups and calls for Michi's resignation, which came following an in-camera meeting Tuesday at the township office. [...]

"A pregnant Palestinian woman, among other Palestinians, was detained on Friday by Israeli occupation forces that carried out multiple raids across the occupied West Bank, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Local sources reported that the Israeli forces raided the Jalazone camp north of Ramallah at dawn, storming several homes and vandalizing them. The Jalazone Media Center reported that Israeli forces detained Jihad Obeidat Nakhla, a 33-year-old teacher, in addition to a three-month pregnant mother of four, and two young men, Ahmed Mustafa al-Nawash and Muath Mamoun al-Ramahi.

The town of Qabatiya in south Jenin was stormed again this morning by Israeli forces, just a few hours after their withdrawal. Occupation soldiers besieged and raided the Zakarna cemetery, before raiding the homes of Palestinian youth Ahmed Jassim Awad Nazal and Asid al-Zaghloul and detaining them.

Israeli forces also raided the towns of Azzun and Jayus east of Qalqilya and raided several houses. In Azzun an Israeli special force besieged the house of Ashraf Salim before raiding and vandalizing it. Afterward, the occupation forces withdrew toward the neighboring town of Jayus and raided another house.

Furthermore, Israeli forces arrested the brothers Ayman and Anas Saber al-Zaru after raiding their family home in the southern area of al-Khalil city.

In the Balata camp in Nablus, Palestinian youth forced an Israeli unit to withdraw following hours of confrontations.

On Thursday, our correspondent reported that Palestinian teenager Khaled Arqawi was shot by Israeli occupation forces during their raid on Ramallah.

This unfolds amid ongoing confrontations in the West Bank, especially since the beginning of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Towns and cities in the West Bank endure daily raids, alongside extensive arrest campaigns, resulting in an increase in the number of martyrs and injuries from confrontations with the occupation forces."

The new agreement will soon be enshrined into BC law, naming the Haida as the rightful owners of all 200-plus islands of Haida Gwaii, which they have been stewarding for millennia. After a two-year transition period, the Haida Nation will manage the 98 percent of its archipelago that was formerly considered Crown land, including protected areas and other forested lands. Having more of a say over the logging industry—which has clear-cut over two-thirds of the islands’ old-growth forest since 1950—has been a focus of the Haida’s title fight since the very beginning. The agreement won’t affect private property or municipal and provincial services, from highways to hospitals, which will continue to be regulated by the province. “The idea that each legal system is recognizing the other one is a turning point,” Borrows [a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation and an expert in Indigenous law at the University of Toronto] says. “It’s also radically democratic and participatory.” This marks a new kind of relationship, which can draw on the best of Haida and Western influences, he adds. And unlike a treaty or court decision, which are more set in stone, this approach requires ongoing negotiation that can adapt and evolve with the times. “It can keep people at the table, learning and working together with one another and trying to find that path to mutuality,” Borrows says.

[ad_1] One First Nation community in Ontario has officially declared a state of emergency due to an opioid crisis. “In the last five years we’ve had over 45 deaths, drug-related to the opioid crisis,” Chief Veronica Smith, of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation in Ontario, told CTV National News. “If we don’t start dealing with the problem, then it will only get worse.” On June 26, during Chippewas of Nawash council meeting, the community declared a state of emergency as a result of the crisis’ overwhelming need for services and support, Smith explained. Smith, who lost her son to a fentanyl overdose, knows first hand the toll this crisis is taking on families. “His addiction just didn’t start over night. He had a long standing addiction that, over the years, was getting worse. And the drugs were getting worse. And the drugs are getting more addictive,” she explained. “I don’t even think he realized how addictive fentanyl was.” Smith said she pleaded for her son to get professional help, but that he eventually succumbed to his addiction. “It was very hard,” she said. “We’ve known here in our community, over the last number of years, that we were having an addiction problem,” she said. Throughout the spread of COVID-19, Smith says she saw her community develop the need for supports. “We saw an increase in the need for social services, child welfare statistics went high, family violence went high. And of course the addictions also went high,” she said. “Social isolation really played a number on the people in the community.” Part of the problem, Smith said, is convincing people to start the process of rehabilitation. “We know it’s very hard for people to get into addiction treatment, that you usually have to go through a detox, you have to go through a medical, and then you have to [hope] there is a bed there.” Smith says her community is calling for qualified social and medical support that can extend to the whole family of those affected by addiction. “I think first and foremost we want to bring awareness to other First Nations that we are not the only First Nations in the state of crisis,” Smith said. “We don’t know how to solve the problems ourselves, so we are looking for help. We need some tangible services such as treatment centres, aftercare services, peer support services. There’s a number of services that we need to help with this addiction crisis.” She added that work must extend beyond the individual affected by addiction, that the person's entire family should also have access to help. Smith and her community believe that the addiction crisis is only a “symptom of a much larger problem.” “That larger problem is colonization,” she said. “The taking away of our culture, the taking away of our lands and our identities. That’s where I believe this addiction all stems from.” A solution, she says, could come down to utilizing traditional Indigenous knowledge. With files from CTV National News and Indigenous Circle reporter Donna Sound “We have ways and we have medicines and ceremonies that could help our people in the healing process. I think we need to start utilizing a lot more of our own ways and our own traditional teachings and the use of our elders.” As their community gears up to handle this state of emergency, Smith knows it will be an uphill battle. “We have so much work to do here. But I’m just glad we have the people in the community who are willing, ready, and able to help us get this work done.”  [ad_2] Source link

“Indian Family, Seven Strong, Joins Canada’s Armed Forces,” Windsor Star. February 28, 1942. Page 6. ---- SHALLOW LAKE, Feb. 28. - An indication of the loyalty to the Empire's cause by Canadian Indians, is shown by the enlistment of John McLeod and his family of five sons and one daughter, in the armed forces. 

The eldest son. Alfred, enlisted at the outbreak of hostilities and is now overseas. One by one the sons, Malcolm, Donald, John and Max, left home for the Canadian armed forces. 

Daisy, the only daughter, then enlisted in the C.W.A.F., and is at Toronto in training. John McLeod, the father, was the last to enlist as a carpenter in the R.C.A.S.C. 

All were medically fit and will fight in the Canadian army until the war is over. They are descendants of a Highlander, Alexander McLeod, of Scotland, who came as a pioneer to Bruce Peninsula and married an Indian maid of Cape Croker.

“Love for liberty and for you is all that keeps our pluck. ” A Letter to a Priest.

Via Operation Picture Me.Wiarton Echo. February 14, 1917. Near the end of January 1917, a 24-year-old soldier from Cape Croker[i] wrote a letter to his parish priest. He was not an exceptional soldier, in that he earned military recognition through medals[ii], but he was exceptional as he represented a community in the minority and with minimal rights and representation in Canada – he was…

I just got back from spending time in Nawash for some training with work, and there was a lot of special moments that I can't share or don't feel ready to talk about, but there's one from the first day we got there that I do really want to share

That first night, we were all gathered around the fire, just kinda taking the time to relax and get to know each other bc we all work remotely and this is the first time we're meeting in person. While we're at the fire, a family from toronto comes over and asks if they can join us bc their 3-year-old wants to watch the fire

The parents are bilingual and speak both english and mandarin, but the little boy only speaks mandarin, and his parents said he'd been lonely while they were on holiday bc none of the other kids could speak mandarin and they didn't want to play with him bc of the language barrier. At this point, the little boy is standing near me, throwing small sticks he's finding on the ground into the fire, and I'm like. What the heck. I know a tiny bit of mandarin, maybe i can interact with him a bit, give him one moment of friendship at least

Me: *pointing at his really cool dinosaur hat* 你的帽子好看啊！

Him: 🥺😄😁 谢谢！你看看！这是我宝贝！你看看，你看看！

He comes right over and sits on the log beside mine and shows me his little orange ball. And then he puts it on the log in front of him and starts pushing the ball off the log onto the ground

The first few times, I just pick the ball up, give it back to him, and then he pushes it off again, but eventually I change it up a bit. When he pushes the ball off, I pretend like I can't find it

Me: 宝贝在哪儿？

Him: *giggling* 在这儿！

I "find" the ball and give it back, then he pushes it off again

Me: 在哪儿？

Him: 在这儿，在这儿！

We played that for a solid hour, and he kept giggling and laughing the whole time, and his parents both looked so happy that he was finally having fun on their trip. And it's just. That's the whole point of languages right? To talk to people, make new friends, build connections. Make a lonely little boy laugh as he points at his very visible orange ball and tells you "it's right there!!"

There's a lot of (lowkey condescending) people that ask me why I "bother" learning languages they see as useless or too difficult, and that's exactly why I love doing it. Bc you never know when the tiny bit of mandarin you know will make a kid laugh, or when your "useless" irish will make an old lady smile bc she misses home, or when the bits of ukrainian you picked up 5 years ago will help a refugee family find the foodbank. Language is at the heart of every culture and every community, and it's never a waste of time to learn a new one. The more languages you learn, the more people you can talk to, the more connections you can build and smiles you can share

Anyways thanks for coming to lecture, pls grab a new language on your way out so you too can make a smol child laugh
