    1. [BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA] RACISM
    2. Indianz.Com. In Print. http://www.indianz.com/SmokeSignals/Headlines/showfull.asp?ID=sports/9212000 -1 Mills decries racism in media, sports SEPTEMBER 21, 2000 America might never see Jim Thorpe on a Wheaties box or Notah Begay in a Nike commercial, as Olympic gold medalist Bill Mills sees it. In 1964, Mills won the gold medal for his performance in the 10,000-meter run, becoming the only American to ever do so. On the radio show Native America Calling, the Oglala Lakota athlete spoke out against racism in the media, sports, and corporate world. "Notah Begay, our great golfer, may never be able to truly break into the corporate endorsement world as he would if he was [sic] African-American or white American. call that corporate racism," said Mills on Wednesday. "Hopefully, Notah does break that barrier," he added. Indigenous athletes have become somewhat of a news issue this year, particularly with the Olympics taking place in Sydney, Australia. Aboriginals have used the international spotlight on their country to focus on the treatment they have received by the federal government. Accounting for approximately 386,000 out of a majority white population of 19 million population, many aboriginals deal with problems of poverty, racism, poor education, and substance abuse. The policy of stealing mixed blood and light-skinned children and placing them into white homes has also had a long lasting effect on the indigenous population, although Prime Minister John Howard has refused to apologize for the past practice. Aboriginal athlete Cathy Freeman, who was chastised for wearing the aboriginal flag during the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada, has helped focus some attention to the issue. This year, she lit the Olympic torch and said it was an honor not only for herself, but for her people. Still, indigenous athletes are often ignored by the sports world and the media. So Mills said he was not surprised by the lack of media coverage of issues faced by indigenous athletes and people. "I think the media obviously is going to ignore" indigenous issues, said Mills. "It does not surprise me when the media is willing to put the Washington Redkins logo on television weekend after weekend, knowing that one of the origins of the Redskins logo is the sale of indigenous body parts." But Mills expressed some hope for the future. He believes that sports is just one forum in which Native Americans and indigenous people worldwide can make positive changes. "Ultimately, sport, globally, has to acknowledge indigenous people and as they acknowledge us, hopefully we are in a position to address issues for the betterment of mankind," he said. Mills is currently on his way to the Olympic games. He said he hoped to meet with aboriginal activists while in Sydney.

    2. [source:NativeNews; Wed, 20 Sep 2000 14:28:45 -0700] Mounties and First Nations try to heal five year old wounds from Gustafsen Lake Standoff CKNW RADIO NEWS - Wednesday, September 20, 2000 8:07 a.m. "Five years after the Gustafson Lake standoff, RCMP and First Nations returned to the site of the confrontation seeking closure" Members of the RCMP and Esketemc First Nation marked the anniversary by meeting over two days, allowing for questions from both sides, taking part in a recognition ceremony, and feasting. Inspector Howard Eaton is in charge of RCMP Aboriginal Policing. EATON: There was just various questions that members of the community had as to why things happened the way they did, and why the police did certain things that, you know, at the time were not able to be told and now they can be. Eaton was asked if relations between RCMP and First Nations are better or worse compared to five years ago. EATON: I think we have a better understanding of things, of the issues that, that precipitated this standoff, and I, I hope that, I'd like to say that they're getting better. CBC RADIO - REGIONAL NEWS - Wednesday, September 20, 2000 8:34 a.m. "For the first time since the standoff five years ago, RCMP and members of the Esketemc First Nation have met at Gustafson Lake" The groups spent the weekend meeting and taking part in cultural and spiritual ceremonies. In 1995, members of the Esketemc First Nation held RCMP officers at bay at Gustafson Lake for months. Inspector Howard Eaton of the RCMP says the weekend session was a chance for the police to answer questions and work to improve relations with the native bands in the area. EATON: From the RCMP perspective, we have a, a better understanding of the, of the culture and the spirituality that is involved in a lot of these things, and I think that hopefully we'll handle these types of situations a little bit different in the future. WALTERS: The Gustafson Lake standoff ended in September 1995. --------- Turtle Island Native Network Aboriginal News & Information http://www.turtleisland.org E-mail: infocom@pro.net [In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.]

    1. [BLACK-DUTCH-AMERICA] Six Nations to receive long-awaited answers
    2. Six Nations to receive long-awaited answers in lands claim lawsuit Crown to divulge answers on discovery, agrees to pay Six Nations legal fees by Paul Baswick Tekawenake News http://www.tekanews.com/ BRANTFORD ? After exhausting two previous appeals to limit disclosure of particulars in its defence, the federal government has agreed to answer questions of discovery relating to Six Nations' lands claim lawsuit. In a deal struck with Six Nations lawyers in Ontario Superior Court in Brantford Monday morning, lawyers from the crown agreed to respond to questions posed by Six Nations regarding Canada's position on historical statements relevant to the case. Under Monday's agreement, the Crown must submit its long-awaited answers in writing to Six Nations' legal representatives, the firm of Blake Cassels & Graydon, by Oct. 2, 2000. Six Nations will have until Oct. 10 to review Canada's answers and to add comments to the government draft. The federal government's final sworn response must then be submitted to Mr. Justice Kent by Oct. 17. Crown lawyers also agreed to pay the legal costs which Six Nations has incurred in its lawsuit to date. That figure, says Six Nations legal representative Burton Kellock, is "in excess of $100,000." Six Nations first launched legal attempts to force answers from the Crown early last year. In May, 1999, Six Nations appeared before Mr. Justice Kent to obtain an order from the court compelling Canada to answer all discovery questions and full particulars asked by Six Nations that Canada had failed to answer. Mr. Justice Kent ruled in Six Nations' favour two months later, ordering the Crown to provide complete and proper answers to the questions being posed. The Crown, however, did not comply with the order, refusing to state its position on historical statements vital to the case, including the statement that "the members of the Six Nations are the descendants of the Iroquois people whose ancestral lands and territories were located in what is now New York State." Following Mr. Justice Kent's order of July 27, 1999, the Crown launched an appeal in Ontario Divisional Court which was unanimously dismissed on April 12, 2000. The Crown then served notice of its intention to seek to appeal this decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal. That motion for appeal was dismissed on July 18, 2000. The answers which have been offered by the Crown to date, says Kellock, have not adequately addressed the questions asked on behalf of Six Nations. "They gave us a whole bunch of words as purported answers to the questions we had asked, which in our judgment was a tactic to delay and avoid answering questions," says Kellock. Although the Crown has now agreed to provide the answers by Oct. 2, Kellock says he is uncertain if their responses will be any more satisfactory than they have been in the past. "You may as well ask me what the weather will be like on Friday," he said. Kellock says before his firm had reached an agreement with the Crown, Six Nations' lawyers had been attempting to get Mr. Justice Kent to strike Canada's statement of defence by finding the government in contempt. When asked why his legal team opted to reach an agreement with the government rather than pursue the charge of contempt, Kellock says there is a reason, but that he would prefer that the reason not yet be printed in newspapers. "Sometimes you have to compromise," says Kellock of the decision to strike a deal with the Crown. Phil Monture, Director of Six Nations Land Claims, says Monday's agreement shows the government is running out of options in skirting questions of discovery. "It's taken a long time to paint them into a corner," says Monture. "The court is catching on to the (Crown's) tactics of delay, delay, delay."
