Volume 1, Issue 6 March Message from Chief Paul Syre�e. . .

Aaniin,

Boozhoo,

Gree�ngs,

I’d like to

acknowledge

our band

members who

have gone on

to the spirit

world. Un-

fortunately,

this all to

o#en of late. Please give your family

members a hug and acknowledge

them as life can be too short.

We con�nue to move forward with

the live stream ini�a�ve for our

Council working mee�ngs. We hope

to have it up and running within the

near future. We will be tes�ng the

equipment at our next working

mee�ng. Once we have it up and

running we will communicate to

everyone on the process of how it

will work! Stayed tuned for further

informa�on.

Chief and Council par�cipated at a

Strategic Planning Session on

February 18, 2016. We iden�fied

GRFN Goals and Priori�es based on

community input, managers input and

dra#s from the previous council. Once

the Goals and Priori�es are approved by

Council we will complete the final

document by working with the each

department to iden�fy “how to

accomplish and implement �me frames”

all the goals.

Good luck to all our Lil NHL players. We

have 9 teams going from Garden River

First Na�on. Travel safe, play hard, show

good sportsmanship and most of all

have fun!

An increased police presence has

resulted in a reduc�on in speeding

complaints and other driving related

offenses. Chief and Council would like to

acknowledge the APS for all the hard

work and their goal to keep our

community members safe. Meegwetch

to our Anishinabek Police Services!

On a final note, we would also like to say

Happy Easter to all our community

members and families!

Respec>ully,

Chief Paul Syre?e

Thank you All!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the en>re

community of Garden River for your love and support

during this difficult >me.

A very special thank you to Keith Boissoneau as the

services were beau>ful, and to all the family/friends that

helped put together not only 1 feast, but 2 days of amazing

food!!

Thank you to all the fire keepers for keeping the sacred fire

ablaze during the wake and services. If we have missed

anyone I am so very sorry.

Love from our family to yours, Mar>n Jones’ family.

MIIGWETCH!!

Their professionalism

and friendly manner

is much appreciated.

Their concern for my

safety prompted me to

phone and request their

assistance in removing

the snow and ice which

was blocking one

entrance to my home.

A few years back my

insurance agent requested that I get be�er steps for my back

entrance or my insurance would not be valid. I went all out and

had a good size porch constructed which I enjoy in the summer

months. Since clearing the roof was becoming a difficult task

for me I had the workers replace my roof with one of steel. This

Kudos to the Garden River Firemen

MIIGWETCH!!

A huge thank you to all for the

support received before and

aJer my mom's - Leona Jacobs

(nee Lesage) passing.

Hugs are s>ll encouraged.

Meegwetch

Deb Belleau-Shawanda

is terrific! No more shoveling! The snow accumulates on the

roof and then "swoosh" it slides off.

In 2015 a fireman paid me a visit to check that my smoke

detectors and carbon monoxide alarm were in working order

and asked if I had a fire ex>nguisher. As he was concerned

about my well being I men>oned to him about the ice and

snow that blocks my back door in the winter months and he

advised me to call the fire department for assistance if

necessary.

The firemen in January cleared two feet of ice and snow that

was blocking my entrance. As a senior I appreciate the fact that

they are concerned about my well being. Chi miigwetch to the

fire department for their prompt efficient service. You are

much appreciated.

Miigwetch & Good Luck!!

The 2016 Garden River Li�le NHL Tyke C team would like to thank

Dreamcatcher for sponsorship of their registra>on this year. We look

forward to the first of many great Li�le NHL experiences!

We would like to wish good luck to our fellow GR teams and to all GR kids

playing this year! Have fun!!

Don Cherry, Ron McLean, and Travis

Jones (former star of Ellio� Lake

Vikings) are saying “The biggest

gathering of All Na>ve Hockey stars will

be invading Toronto on March 13-17,

2016 to showcase their talents! Garden

River First Na>on already had the

Memorial Cup on their reserve lands.

The same family, the Nolans, have also

brought the Stanley Cup twice to our

territories.

Don, Ron, and Trav are asking “Who

among today’s stars are going to bring

these trophies once again to Garden

River?”

Wayne Gretzkey, Corinne Young (Jones)

and Fehmeel Akbar have seen the

talents of the Garden River hockey

players and agree wholeheartedly that

a future trophy is most certainly coming

back to Garden River.

This picture was taken right aJer it was

overheard by this future Li�le NHLer

grandson telling his Grampa, “Papa, you

should take me to the Li�le NHL.

There’s going to be lots of kids my age

having lots and lots of fun playing

hockey down there!”

The kid went on to say “My buddies are

all excited about it, some are more

excited to go swimming in the pool!”

He also said “Papa, you should bring

Nanny with you! She can take care of

you.”

To sum it all up, they all ask everyone to

have a lot of fun, first of all. Be a good

sport. Respect everyone. And your

many rewards will surely follow!

Submi�ed by Skip Jones – a proud

hockey dad, Papa, and overall Li�le NHL

fan

Want to Con*nue your Studies

in the Summer or Fall?

DO I REALLY NEED TO APPLY AGAIN

FOR FUNDING?

If you are currently enrolled full->me at

college or university, AND you plan on

con>nuing your studies in the Summer, or

September (or both), you must complete

and submit a new GRFN Applica>on for

Post-Secondary Educa>onal Assistance.

Copies are available to download via our

website : www.educa>on.gardenriver.ca in

the Downloads sec>on. Please don't wait

un>l the last day to complete and send

your applica>on.

From the Post-Secondary Counsellor:

REMINDERS:

.....Good luck on your midterm exams.

.....if, at any >me, you had to change your

educa�onal plans by either revising your schedule

or you had to transfer programs or whatever

changes you have made, you must send a copy of

the revised informa>on ASAP.

.......you must maintain full-�me hours (check with

the Registrar’s Office if you are unsure) to be

eligible for your monthly allowance. Please check

your registra>on carefully.

.......if you s>ll haven't figured it out,

ATTENDANCE is very important! Not only for

yourself and your grades but for fulfilling your

GRFN sponsorship responsibili>es. Remember

that even if your instructor does not take

a�endance and/or you do not receive any extra

marks for a�endance, as a sponsored student,

you have agreed to a�end all of your classes and

complete all of your academic responsibili>es

(sound familiar). Besides, if you are physically

siWng in a class you have that much more of a

chance in understanding the lessons being

taught!

.....COLLEGE STUDENTS: “INTENT TO RETURN”

FORMS - these are forms that your school needs

YOU to complete and return or submit via your

online student account to tell them that you are

planning on returning to your studies in either the

summer or Fall 2016 semester. By submiWng this

as requested, the school will hold your seat in the

program and work on your new schedule. IF YOU

DON’T SUBMIT, the school will consider you as

“not returning” and will not send you any new

correspondence and/or will not have anything

ready for you. CHECK WITH YOUR SCHOOL

ABOUT THIS TYPE OF FORM OR REQUIRED

INFORMATION.

C O M M U N I C A T I O N

If I don't know that you are having

problems, I cannot help you. If I am not in

my office or I am on the phone when you

call, please leave me a message on my

voice mail, with the recep>onist or send

me an email. Please don’t think that if I

am not in the office that you can't call

and report problems or share some good

news.

ARE YOU HAVING

ACADEMIC PROBLEMS OR

ARE YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS

AFFECTING YOUR ATTENDANCE/

GRADES????

If you are experiencing any difficul>es

with either your academic work or if your

personal life problems are jeopardizing

your academic success, please contact me

at the office, your instructors, or your

academic advisor at the school… there

are many individuals available to help

you.

Assistance is available but you must take

the first step and ask for help. Before that

“snowball” gets too big, call me and I will

help you to access the support services at

your school. If you need academic

tutoring for any course that you are

struggling in, please sign up at the school

and if you don’t know where to go at your

school, ask me and I’ll get you the

informa>on. Just don’t put it off too

long...the school has to find you a tutor

for your subject...so they need some >me

to make your arrangements.

ARE YOU CONSIDERING

GOING TO COLLEGE OR

UNIVERSITY THIS YEAR?

Remember…..you can’t get accepted at a

college or university if you don’t apply

through the Ontario College Applica>on

Service (OCAS) or the Ontario University

Applica>on Service (OUAS)! And you

can’t get sponsored if you don’t complete

the GRFN Applica>on for Educa>onal

Assistance by the deadlines! Don't

delay… complete all of your applica>ons

early!

For High School Students

Gradua*ng this Year and New

Post-Secondary Students:

Remember, if you have sent your

applica>on to the Ontario College

Applica>on Service or the Ontario

University Applica>on Service, you will be

reimbursed for the applica>on fees, once

you bring in your “Acknowledgement

Le�er OR copy of your OCAS/OUAC

receipt” and have completed your

Garden River Applica>on for Post-

Secondary Educa>onal Assistance. For

those of you that sent your OCAS/OUAS

applica>on before February 1st

, you

should start receiving correspondence

from the colleges/universi>es any>me

now.

Please make sure that you read each

le�er carefully....there will be invita>ons

to a�end informa>on sessions, to get a

tour of their facili>es or they will need

more informa>on from you before they

can make their admission

decisions… most importantly though

there will be deadlines to respond by.

Each school will be trying to convince you

that their school is the best.... you will

need to do your homework -- this means

researching your choices to ensure that

your >me at college/university will be

both an enjoyable AND rewarding

experience for you. As I am sure most of

you know, each school has a reputa>on

for certain types of programs - make sure

you check out the program creden>als

along with the school creden>als. Ask

about or look for informa>on on the

availability of things like support services,

campus life/ac>vi>es, student residences

for new students, accessibility by public

transporta>on, etc., etc..... (visit the

school web-sites for e-tours and basic

informa>on).

VISIT YOUR POTENTIAL

COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY TO HELP

MAKE YOUR FINAL DECISION

When you have received correspond-

ence from all of the schools you

applied to and priori>zed/narrowed

down your choices, you can then

arrange and confirm a date/

appointment for a campus visit or the

orienta>on sessions that most schools

have prepared for “poten�al students”.

This is an excellent opportunity to

“experience” your new school.

Remember that according to the GRFN

Post-Secondary Opera>ng Guidelines

and as a new post-secondary applicant/

student, you are eligible for one trip to

a prospec>ve college or university to

help you finalize your decision. Once

you have decided which school you

would like to visit, you must submit a

copy of the official “Campus Visit”

invita�on and i�nerary. According to

the length of the pre-arranged visit,

you will receive return bus fare,

student rates for meals and accommo-

da>ons. Remember, this is an

excellent opportunity to help you make

an informed decision about your new

school. In order to receive this

assistance, you must complete your

GRFN Applica>on for Educa>onal

Assistance.

Even though you will have a lot of

different opinions/sugges>ons from

your parents, older brothers/sisters,

your friends, your guidance

counsellors, and so on, ul�mately,

this educa>on/career

decision is YOURS to

make and YOU have to

want it to be successful !!

- where to a�end school and what

program is best for you. Do your

homework and make an informed

decision!!!!

Once this process is done, naturally,

each school will be requiring you to

respond to their “offer of admission” and

make your final decision!

WHEN YOU RECEIVE CORRESPONDENCE,

ALWAYS make sure to check for:

• Are there deadlines to respond by?

• Do they require a “confirma>on fee” to

be paid by a certain date?

• Do you have to send more info?

• Are there any entrance tests to write?

NOTE: I do not receive any documenta>on

from the school directly during the

applica>on process. You are responsible for

making sure I am kept informed at all >mes

by bringing me copies of your informa>on.

IF THERE ARE ANY FEES DUE, PLEASE MAKE

SURE THAT YOU BRING A COPY OF YOUR

INFORMATION TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY

SO THAT WE CAN PROCESS AND MAIL THE

PAYMENT BEFORE THE DEADLINE. Please

be advised that this office is not responsible

for payment of any late fees or loss of seat

due to late payments.

DID YOU KNOW about

Sacagawea?

She has more statues raised in her

honor than any other American

women. She lived in 1805 and traveled

west from North Dakota to the Pacific

Ocean as a guide and interpreter for

Lewis & Clark; a 16 month journey and

some 5000 miles.

In the past few decades Sacagawea has

become a reminder of the extent

which the Lewis & Clark story is also a

Na>ve American story. This expedi>on

was not a tour ‘through an empty

west’, but went through lands and lives

of other communi>es. Amy Mosse�, a

Mandan-Hidatsa from North Dakota is

an expert of Sacagawea’s life. Her

story has been told by novelists and

Hollywood. An image of her and her

son appears on a 21st

century U.S.

dollar coin, and she has appeared on

the cover of the Na>onal Geographic.

You can check out Google for movies,

books and statues on this famous

Na>ve woman.

a�ended the 2016 First Na>ons Housing

Conference the week of February 8th to

February 11th and were honoured in

receiving the “2016 Housing Recogni1on

Award”.

This Award is inspiring to all, as the Housing

Innova>on Showcase is an opportunity to

recognize innova>ons and achievements in

housing ini>a>ves at a Community level.

The North Shore Tribal Council has

recognized the GRFN Housing Department

for their dedica>on, hard work and

excep>onal service to the Ci>zens of our

First Na>on. GRFN Housing Department

provides adequate housing for 1000

members and can be a challenging task

without an effec>ve policy in place and so, in

2015, Chief and Council implemented a new,

comprehensive housing policy.

The new policy and dedicated staff

implemen>ng it have been successful and

the innova>on and commitment of GRFN in

providing adequate housing for all of its

members is to be admired, commended and

held up as an example of how effec>ve a

housing policy can be. Chief Paul Syre�e,

Carrie Zeppa, Tenant Rela>ons Officer and

Greg Solomon, Housing Maintenance

Coordinator were in a�endance to receive

the award on behalf of the Housing

Team. Other Housing Team members

include Anne Headrick, Housing

Supervisor and Charlo�e Boissoneau,

Housing Assistant.

SOLAR ENERGY is advancing so fast

it’s hard to keep up. Researchers at

Michigan State University have

created transparent solar panels.

This means the possibility of every

window in your house could become

a power sta>on. Idaho engineers

have devised an impact resistant

glass solar >le strong enough to pave

roads. Self-powered streets and

parking lots could light up at night

with build in LEDs , warm up to clear

snow and ice and power recharging

sta>ons for electric cars.

POWER TILES have been created by a

generates electricity when people

walk on it. There is a soccer field in

Rio De Janeiro that now features 200

of these Kemball-Cook >les, topped

with ar>ficial turf. The ponding feet

of players generates enough power,

stored in ba�eries, to run the

stadium’s floodlights for night games.

GRFN Bingo Enterprises Ways to Cut Food Waste in the Kitchen

It’s the biggest part of most landfills. Here’s

how you can do your part to reduce:

Banana Peels: using banana peels to polish

silver. Blend peels with water to make a

paste then use a cloth or toothbrush to scrub

jewelry and cutlery. Can also be used to

polish leather bags and shoes.

Oranges & Lemons: slice fruit in quarters, dip

in salt and start scrubbing cuWng boards and

sinks.

Milk: consider using milk where you might

usually choose water—oatmeal, pancake mix

& hot chocolate. Freeze what you dont use

before the expiry date—use ice trays for use

in smoothies, shakes or individual servings

for tea & coffee.

Yogurt: if past its expira>on date, use for

home facials. Apply to your face give it 15

mins to dry and wash.

Nuts: use up stray almonds, cashews or mac-

adamias in a mixed nut bu�er. Ground up

together with maple syrup or olive oil, store

in a sealed container in the fridge, it’ll last up

to a month.

Silver Creek Golf Course

Transcrip>on and Comments

by Karl S. Hele

Following the death of Chief Shingwaukonse in

1854 the posi>on of Head Chief at Garden

River became subject to debate, a�empted

manipula>on, and contesta>on. Various

individuals sought to place or have their

favourite candidate officially recognized by the

Bri>sh-Canadian government. This led to two

inquiries concerning the suitability of various

leaders to act as Head Chief sponsored by the

Anglican mission, Reverend James Chance,

Crown Lands Agent Joseph Wilson, and Judge

John Prince, among others in the 1860s. In the

1870s and 1880s contesta>on of the

leadership con>nued, albeit without an official

inves>ga>on. In an effort to calm and end the

interference with the legi>macy of the

leadership, specifically Augus>n ac>ng as Head

Chief, a compromise was a�empted. Augus>n

and several other band members, along with

the Indian Agent William Van Abbo�, proposed

a hybrid system. The proposal, found in the

documents below, would have allowed

Augus>n to con>nue as Head Chief with all its

a�endant powers and responsibili>es

alongside several elected chiefs and councillors

ac>ng as advisors. In a manner of speaking the

proposal would mimic the Canadian

government structure in a very limited

manner, the Life Chief being comparable to a

Governor General while the elected Head Chief

and council would be the Cabinet. Such a

proposal, however, ran counter to the Indian

Act. The Superintendent of Indian Affairs

rejected the proposal on the grounds that a

‘Life Chief’ (hereditary) could not retain power

if a Band had adopted the elected system. The

‘Life Chief’ would be allowed to retain the >tle

but have no say whatsoever in Band affairs.

With the rejec>on of this compromise by

Indian Affairs, Augus>n remained the Life Chief

and Head Chief un>l his death in December

1890. An order-in-council dated 14 February

1891 declared the posi>on of Head Chief

vacant and imposed an elected Band

government. Our first elec>on took place on

10 March 1891. As we all know, the elected

system of government has not ended

ques>ons of legi>macy.

____________________________________

2 This is the sec>on of the Indian Act passed in 1880

that outlines various provisions surrounding

elec>ons and the number of allowable Chiefs.

Specifically, sec>on 72 states:

Whenever the Governor in Council deems it advisable

for the good government of a band to introduce the

elec�on system of chiefs, he may by Order in Council

provide that the chiefs of any band of Indians shall

be elected, as hereina#er provided, at such �me and

place as the Superintendent-General may direct; and

they shall, in such case be elected for a period of

three years, unless deposed by the Governor for

dishonesty, intemperance, immorality or

incompetency; and they may be in the propor�on of

one head chief and two second chiefs or councillors

for every two hundred Indians: Provided, that no

band shall have more than six head chiefs and twelve

second chiefs, but any band composed of thirty

Indians may have one chief: Provided always, that all

life chiefs now living shall con�nue to hold the rank

of chief un�l death or resigna�on, or un�l their

removal by the Governor for dishonesty,

intemperance, immorality or incompetency:

Provided also, that in the event of His Excellency

ordering that the chiefs of a band shall be elected,

then and in such case the life chiefs shall not

exercise the powers of chief unless elected under

such order to the exercise of such powers.

3 This is the only copy of the resolu�on. The le?er

is not signed by Augus�n or any other Band

members.

4 In 1885 there were issues surrounding Augus�n

based on his advanced age and other unnamed

specula�ons. I have not been able to locate any

specific accusa�ons beyond his age, as evidenced

by a pe��on from younger band members

reques�ng elec�ons in January 1885. In the 1860s

the debate centred around whether

Bugujjewenene and Augus�n were co-Head Chiefs

or if their father really intended only one to be a

Head Chief. Previous issues in the 1860s and

1870s also appear to have rested on whether or

not the aging Chief deserved a pension as well as

the purchase of and use of agricultural equipment

(debate over who and how long people used it).

not allowed to exercise the

powers of Chief if the system

of elec>ng Chiefs be adopted

unless they have been elected

indeed to the exercise of such

powers in the manner

provided by the Act. You will

therefore perceive that it is

impossible to allow Chief

Augus>n, if the other Chiefs

are elected, to con>nue to

exercise his powers as Chief

unless he shall have presented

himself for elec>on and have

been acclaimed with the

provisions of the law.
