I would like to wish a pleasant summer to everyone.
You can tell summer is here you see students
working and the reserve getting a facelift.
I would like to thank the students for the work they do
in the community.
For our new members in Mattawa, several of you
have been asking about hunting and fishing in
Ontario, you can hunt and fish anywhere in Eagle
Village traditional territory, which includes the
Mattawa area, It does not include Algonquin Park.
Should anyone have problems, please refer anyone
to me – Chief Madeleine Paul at 816-627-3455.
The next band meeting will focus on some of the
following topics: aboriginal rights, aboriginal title, what
is the duty to consult etc… because we need to ar-
range certain individuals to present the
information, and it is summer the meeting will be held
in September.
On July 6, we finally signed the MOU with Matamec.
This MOU was to secure the necessary funds to do the
studies necessary to scientifically prove if the mine is
good or not. We will receive $300,000 in
total for Wolf Lake and Eagle Village to conduct the
studies we need. At the present moment we are
putting together a multi-disciplinary team to help us
with these studies.
To give you an idea we are looking for professional
groups or individuals to conduct the following:
Radioactivity related issues;
Archaeology/Heritage sites;
Hydrogeology;
Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecology;
Geology; visual impacts;
Noise and Atmospheric Quality;
Herpetofauna; and socio-economic.
These studies will be shared with the community
as we receive them. Once we have all the data
then we will be able to make an informed decision
on whether we can support the mining
project or not.
Have a wonderful summer and we look forward to
seeing you at the Countryfest on August 17-19.
We are still looking for volunteers for those of you
that could spare 2 hours throughout the weekend.
Meegwech!

In July’s news letter you were informed of Bill C-38 which will
have impact on your unemployment benefit. Below is addi-
tional Information concerning seasonal workers.
“Subject: Impact of Bill C-38 on Workers”
Amendments to the definition of “suitable employment”
and its impact on seasonal workers
An employment insurance claimant may be disqualified from
receiving benefits in certain cases where, in particular, he does
not comply with the obligation to seek or accept “suitable em-
ployment”, and to carry out a “reasonable job search”1. Prior to
the amendment, employment was not considered as “suitable
employment” for a claimant if:
“(2) For the purposes of this section, employment is not suitable
employment for a claimant if:
a. it arises in consequence of a stoppage of work attributable
to a labor dispute;
b. it is in the claimant's usual occupation either at a lower rate
of earnings or on conditions less favorable than those
observed by agreement between employers and
employees, or in the absence of any such agreement, than
those recognized by good employers; or
c. it is not in the claimant's usual occupation and is either at a
lower rate of earnings or on conditions less favorable than
those that the claimant might reasonably expect to obtain,
having regard to the conditions that the claimant usually
obtained in the claimant's usual occupation, or would have
obtained if the claimant had continued to be so
employed.”2
1See subsection 27(1) of the Act.
The amendment limits the definition of what is not “suitable”
employment to employment arising from a stoppage of work
attributable to a labor dispute3. For example, with the
amendment, a claimant who refuses a lower paying job will be
disqualified from receiving employment insurance benefits.
The amendment also permits regulations criteria to be made so
that these two concepts4 could be defined in a more specific
manner. Media reaction5 was very negative concerning the
amendment to the definition of “suitable employment”.
The media announced that claimants could not refuse a job
located at less than 100 km.
in commuting distance and that offers at least 70% of the wages
earned in their usual occupations. There will be significant
impacts in terms of increased poverty, in addition to the more
serious effects for seasonal workers, especially in the regions.
The new definition of “suitable employment” restricts the possi-
bility of seasonal workers to supplement their annual income
with employment insurance. This has several consequences:
- Many important seasonal jobs may see workers leaving for
permanent, year-round employment. These could include
fishermen, snow removal workers and agricultural, tourism and
forestry workers.
- Employers in the regions who hire seasonal workers could see
these workers leaving for urban centre's to seek permanent, year
-round employment because of the commuting distance limit
that was changed in the definition of suitable work.
- The obligation to accept a job that offers at least 70% of the
wages earned in one’s usual occupation contains a risk in such
that at the end of the employment, a job that offers at least 70%
of wages that have already been lowered must be accepted, and
so on and so forth. Thus, a lowering of wages could be caused
by this measurer.”
2See subsection 27(2) of the Act. 3Amendments to subsections 27(2) and (3) of the Act. 4Additions of paragraphs 54k.1) and 54k.2) to the Act. 5In order to find out more about various viewpoints, I consulted articles in several daily
newspapers that discuss Bill C-38, particularly in La Tribune, L’Actualité.com, La Presse and
L’Hebdo regional de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.

Overview on the Secure Certificate of Indian Status:
Any individual registered as an Indian under the
Indian Act is eligible for the Secure Certificate of
Indian Status (SCIS), regardless of age, and can
apply for a card, which provides access to a wide
range of services and benefits administered by
federal and provincial governments and other private
sector program and service providers.
The Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS)
includes several security improvements to help
protect First Nations individuals from identity theft
while providing them with access to benefits and
services. The existing Certificate of Indian Status
(CIS) is either a paper-laminate or plastic card with
very few of the security features now normally
expected of a government issued identity document
that provides access to benefits and services.
This makes the card open to tampering and
counterfeiting.
On Current Measure: There was a backlog in processing
applications for the SCIS which resulted in a delay in
delivering the card. The Department of Aboriginal
Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC)
is working quickly to process applications and deliver
the SCIS as quickly as possible. Since it is critical that
all applicants have immediate access to services and
benefits accessible through the SCIS, the Department
is focusing its resources, at this time, on producing and
distributing the in-Canada format of the SCIS.
This will get a SCIS in the hands of as many applicants
as quickly as possible.
Applicants will be advised on the status of the
border-crossing format in the near future. As more
information becomes available, it will also be
posted on AANDC's website.
On Border-Crossing: For crossing the border into the
U.S. via land and water ports of entry (which can
include ferry and lake crossings), AANDC has been
advised that for the near term, U.S. border officers
will accept both the SCIS and older Certificates of
Indian Status, including those SCIS that indicate
"not valid for border crossing" on the back of the
card, as valid identity documents. AANDC is working
with U.S.counterparts to inform U.S. border officers
of this change.
Going Forward:
The Government of Canada cautions individuals that
the duration for the acceptance of these documents for
border crossing purposes into the United States is
entirely at the discretion of the U.S. Government. A list
of documents approved for entering the United States
can be found at www.knowyourborder.gov
Please note that travelers entering the United States
by air continue to be required to present a valid
passport or in certain circumstances, a NEXUS card.
If you urgently require documentation for
entering the United States please contact
Passport Canada.
Both formats of the SCIS (in-Canada and
border-crossing) as well as the current
paper-laminate CIS are currently accepted as valid
identity documents for entry into Canada
Where can I apply for a SCIS?
You can apply in-person by visiting
one of the following offices:
• AANDC Regional Offices - Winnipeg
MB, Regina SK, Edmonton AB,
Calgary AB, Yellowknife NT
• Treaty 7 First Nations offices in Alberta
• AANDC district offices - Kahnawake QC,
Prince Albert, SK
• AANDC Headquarters in Gatineau, QC.
Information will be updated on the AANDC
website when other points of service are opening.
What do I need to bring?
To obtain a SCIS, an individual
needs to provide the following documents:
•Current Status card (if applicable)
•Original proof of birth document
• Name-linking documents (if required)
• Two passport-style photographs
• Valid identification
• Completed application form
For more information, please visit the SCIS

We, Anicinabe Mikana, are proud to announce that
our “Rediscovering What We Lost” Workshop
Proposal to the Healing Fund of the United Church
of Canada has been approved and we are now able
to present a series of cultural workshops over the
coming months.
The workshops will begin on August 21, 2012. They
will provide learning, healing and reconciliation. As
well, they will present Aboriginal cultural awareness;
Indian residential school awareness and our Algonkin
language. Workshop facilitators will conduct the
workshops and every workshop will begin in a
traditional way; smudging, prayer, etc. An Elder will
be present at all workshops to provide Algonkin
language teachings and a support in the presenta-
tions of cultural knowledge.
Workshop participants will learn:
Culture and Language:
The workshops will be a new beginning for the
community to go back in time to learn our Anicinabe
ways and teachings. The youth will have a chance to
interact with the Elders and share wisdom of
knowledge.
The workshops will enhance the spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical teachings of the
Anicinabe culture, traditions and language.
Indian Residential School Awareness:
The history, the timeline, the impacts, healing and
reconciliation and how we must come to terms with
the past and move on with a good healing journey.
Ending of the Project: Summary, Residential School
Awareness, Community Gathering and Feast
Participants of the workshops along with our
respected Elder will celebrate what we learned and
we will pass on our knowledge by talking about what
we learned at a gathering day at the end of the
project.
The gathering will be open to the general public.
As well, an Indian residential school information
booth will be set up to pass on this knowledge. The
day will end with a traditional feast.
Several more workshops are being planned
and are in the booking process.
We will announce them in the
next newsletter and by posters.

(Summer Gathering)
During the Weekend of July 6th - 8th,
A number of Algonquin Communities gathered to
compete in various games such as;
Canoe Races, Log Sawing, Tug of War,
High Power Rifle etc...
We also had a dry dance on Saturday, where square
dancing and step dancing was enjoyed by all who
attended. The event was for all ages and Algonquin
Communities, however some communities had to
decline at the last minute, however Eagle Village still
had the opportunity to socialize with members from
Kitigan Zibi, Timiskaming First Nation, Long Point
First Nation, Wahgoshig First Nation,
Wolf Lake First Nation, and Pikogan First Nation.
It was a great experience and we look forward to next
year, where it will be hosted in another
Algonquin Community !!
A very BIG Thank You
and Appreciation goes
out to the volunteer
helpers of the
16th Annual Boat Rally!
The stop over and stamp destination people were
Mel & Maxine McKenzie (Muskeg Bay),
Corey Dandy (White Birch Point Camp) and
Gerald & Laurette Young (Red Pine).
Registration volunteer was Judy Young.
As the people returned on time they were dealt a
open hand of poker and my volunteer helpers
with this were Amanda Joly and Tanya Samuel.
You all done a awesome job.
Thanks A million again Volunteers without you
people, this would not all be possible.

FOOT CARE PROGRAM
This is just a reminder
that the Health Center
has a Foot Care Program
in effect for any of those
in the community that
cannot independently do
their own feet or have un-

Diabetes can be dangerous to your feet ...
even a small cut can produce very serious
consequences. To avoid complications it
is strongly recommended that you have
your feet inspected and your toenails cut
by a professional.
For an appointment or more info

HARM REDUCTIONHARM REDUCTIONHARM REDUCTION
What is Harm Reduction? What is Harm Reduction? What is Harm Reduction?
Harm reduction is a controversial term. Harm Reduction
Policies and Programs for Persons Involved in the Criminal
Justice System-defined harm reduction as “a health-centered
approach that seeks to reduce the health and social harm as-
sociated with alcohol and drug use, without necessarily requir-
ing that users abstain. Harm reduction is a non-judgmental
response that meets users ‘where they are’ with regard to their
substance use. Harm reduction includes a broad continuum
or responses, from safer substance use to abstinence. Essen-
tial to a harm reduction approach is that it offers users a
choice of how they will minimize harms to themselves.
The following are features of harm reduction:
Pragmatism: Harm reduction accepts that some use of psy-
cho-active substances is inevitable, and that some level of
substance use is expected in a society.
Humane Values: No moralistic judgment is made, either to
condemn or to support use of substances, regardless of level
of use or mode of intake. The dignity and rights of the person
who uses alcohol and other drugs are respected.
Focus on Harms: The extent of a person’s substance use is
of secondary importance to the harms resulting from that use.
Hierarchy of Goals: Most harm reduction programs have a
hierarchy of goals; the most pressing needs are addressed first
(Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse National Policy Work-
ing Group, 1996).
Fundamental features of harm reduction, specifically its focus
on humane values, overlap with traditional Aboriginal values
such as respect. The principles of harm reduction are
not unknown to Aboriginal peoples and some observ-
ers have pointed to similarities between harm reduc-
tion and a holistic Aboriginal approach to substance
abuse treatment, including the importance of links
between the community and the individual (Peele,
2003).
To help understand the concept of harm reduction, consider
the non-substance-specific example of seatbelts. In a car acci-
dent, seatbelts can help reduce the extent of physical injury
suffered by the occupants of the car by, for example, keeping
them from being thrown out of the vehicle. With substance
abuse, the provision of sterile injection equipment to intrave-
nous drug users can help reduce the spread of blood-borne
diseases, and the distribution of controlled quantities of alco-
holic beverages to alcohol-dependent individuals in home-less
shelters can help to curtail the ingestion of non-beverage alco-
hol products.
Models of abstinence and prohibition typically do not allow
for moderate or reduced use-something that is implicit in most
harm reduction policies and programs. Consequently, the
emphasis on abstinence in Aboriginal communities has been
identified as a barrier to offering and expanding harm reduc-
tion services (Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network, 1998;
Erickson, 1992; Wardman & Quantz, 2006).
Contrary to what many people believe, abstinence and harm
reduction are not totally incompatible. Common to both is
the goal of assisting individuals with the harms they are ex-
periencing because of their problematic use.

Picky Eater Tips Picky Eater Tips Picky Eater Tips ––– How To Get Your Child To Eat Healthy How To Get Your Child To Eat Healthy How To Get Your Child To Eat Healthy
1. Avoid letting your child snack all day long. If they aren’t
very hungry at mealtime they are less likely to try new
foods.
2. Introduce one new food at a time. Introduce it with an-
other food they enjoy.
3. Just try to offer them one bite of the healthy food they
don’t want to eat. If your child refuses, don’t give up or
get mad. It just means they won’t try it today but that
does not mean forever. Keep bringing that vegetable back
to mealtime every several days or so.
4. Be a fun healthy eating role model. The kids are watching
you and paying attention. Pile on those veggies on your
plate and let them know how delicious it is. A little extra
acting is okay. You have an audience!
5. If you find a couple of vegetables that they do like, well, it
is okay to repeatedly serve them. Just continue to intro-
duce one new food at a time.
6. Try to eliminate distractions, like TV, telephone, and cell
phones during mealtime.
7. Don’t despair. That leads to frustration and stress at meal
times. That doesn’t help you or the child. Be patient there
is no magic solutions because kids, like us adults, have
different personalities, tolerance levels, patience, moods
etc. So in other words, what works for one child may not
work for another. *Introduce one new food at a time.
Introduce it with another food they enjoy.
8. Don’t make your child clean their plate. Forget that old
fashioned way of thinking. We now know that kids, espe-
cially under five, have a good sense of their hunger. They
will stop eating when they are full. The portion size they
were given may be too much for them.
9. Avoid bribing please! ie “If you eat your vegetables, you
can have dessert later.” Think about the message that will
send to your child. Dessert- reward, fun, happy, success.
Vegetables - not fun, requires a condition in order to eat
them, Multiple studies have shown that bribing kids does-
n’t promote good healthy food choices in the long run.
10. Make the foods interesting. Jazz up those vegetables and
fruits. Kids love dipping foods, so how about adding a
low fat dip for their vegetables or fruits. Serve them their
vegetable with a vegetable made of into a picture or
funny face. Just imagine their faces when they sit down
and see a happy smile made of celery, carrots and cu-
cumbers. Make fruits and vegetables a fun event for kids.
Have them color their plate with the food item. See if
they can name the different colors. You can come up
with different games using fruits and vegetables that can
peak their interest about the food.
11. To add more nutrition for that stubborn picky eater who
absolutely refuses to eat vegetables or fruits, be creative.
You can add vegetables into some of their favorite meals.
Dice them finely and add these healthy foods to their fa-
vorite meatloaf, stew, soup, casserole dish or pasta.
12. Take advantage of other activities to expose your child to
healthy foods outside of mealtime. Have them help you
pick out the vegetables and fruits at the grocery store. Let
them help prepare the foods.
13. It’s okay for kids to have a dessert or high sugar, high fat
food once in awhile. Avoid completely eliminating a food
they enjoy. It will only make them want it more. Instead,
teach your child how these foods are good to have once
in a while. Help them learn to eat small portions of these
kinds of foods. Being healthy is about moderation, bal-
ance and portion sizes. There is room in a child’s diet for
all kinds of foods. Some every day and others once in
while. When there are independent tweens/teens they will
be making their own food choices. Home is a chance to
teach children good eating habits and that includes teach-
ing them about these high sugar foods and high fat foods.
Beverages are part of a child's healthy meal plan. Healthy
beverages can quench their thirst and provide added nutri-
tion. But there are so many beverages on the market that are
promoted for children.
Recommended Healthy Beverages For Children
Water is the best drink for hydration. Zero calories and
very needed by the body. Plain and simple.
Milk is a drink that is part of the My Plate Dairy group
and is one way that children can get the necessary cal-
cium and vitamin D they need to grow strong bones and
teeth.
100% fruit juice provides children with the nutrition from
the fruit group. Which is also important for developing
and maintaining a healthy body. But fruit juice, even
100% fruit juice, is higher in sugar.
Beverages Should Be Avoided
Children Do Not Need These Beverages
Some of the caffeine, stimulants and chemicals added to these
drinks can be harmful to children.
Sports drinks
Energy drinks
Coffee based drinks

5 Signs You’ll Develop Diabetes5 Signs You’ll Develop Diabetes5 Signs You’ll Develop Diabetes
Have you ever stopped to take stock of your risk factors for
diabetes? By 2012, almost three million Canadians will know
they have the disease. Will you be one of them? Here are five
signs you might develop diabetes:
1. You’re overweight and underactive
Of all people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, over 85 per-
cent of them are overweight. Abdominal obesity (fat
around your middle) in particular is associated with a high risk
of diabetes. Putting on weight raises your body’s resistance to
insulin. And that causes high blood sugar.
If you’re sedentary – that is, you don’t get much physical ac-
tivity in a typical day – then your risk of developing diabetes is
doubled. The World Health Organization estimates that up to
85 percent of us rarely get off our duffs.
Just by adding activity to your lifestyle, you reduce
two risk factors for diabetes. Not only will exercise lower
your insulin resistance, but it will also help you shed weight.
Research shows that losing even just a few pounds can pre-
vent or delay Type 2 diabetes.
2. You eat all the foods your mom told you to avoid
If you’re a big fan of high-fat, sugary foods and you enjoy
them regularly, you’re making yourself a menu for diabetes.
"People don’t necessarily think of their diet – their comfort
foods and their regular foods – as putting them at risk," says
Dr. Stewart Harris, a family physician who specializes in dia-
betes and is the Canadian Diabetes Association chair in dia-
betes management at the University of Western Ontario’s
Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry.
But if you make a habit of eating fried foods, drinking pop,
slathering on the salad dressing and having a second piece of
cake, you’re increasing your odds of gaining weight,
which in turn increases insulin resistance and puts
you at greater risk of diabetes. You could also develop
high cholesterol and high blood pressure, problems that are
often found in people with diabetes and are associated with
heart disease.
Try eating your favourite foods in smaller portions. Or reach
for diet pop or fat-free ice cream when you have cravings.
3. You have a risky family tree
If Type 2 diabetes has been diagnosed in your immediate
family – your mom or dad, your brother or sister, or your
child – then your chances of getting diabetes yourself are
higher.
But when it comes to family history, your ethnicity also
counts towards your diabetes risk. You’re more likely to
develop Type 2 diabetes if your background is Aboriginal,
South Asian, Asian, African or Hispanic.
You can’t change your genes, but you can change your risk
level. Since diabetes runs in families, it makes sense to im-
prove your health as a family. If everyone in your household
aims for better food choices and more physical activity, you’re
all more likely to succeed.
4. You have certain "female problems"
Certain women are more likely to develop diabetes than oth-
ers. They include women with polycystic ovary syndrome, a
female hormonal imbalance that can cause irregular periods.
Mothers who’ve given birth to big babies (over 4,000 grams)
may develop diabetes. And pregnant women who have gesta-
tional diabetes – that is, diabetes found only during the preg-
nancy – are seven times likelier to have Type 2 diabetes later
in life than moms who didn’t.
But, just like people in other high-risk groups, you can better
your odds by watching your diet and staying active.
5. You’re over 40
Although it’s true that Type 2 diabetes is being diagnosed in
younger and younger people, the disease is still most fre-
quently identified after age 40. "That’s when we see the
spike," says Dr. Harris. "That’s why we recommend regular
routine screening starting at age 40 across the general popula-
tion."
Everyone should be checked for diabetes after 40. But
it may make sense to test even earlier if you fall into one or
more of the high-risk groups. Your best bet? Talk to your doc-
tor about the diabetes testing that’s right for you.
