The newly endorsed standards on race by the Florida Board of Education, intended for teaching in the state’s public schools, have attracted critiques from educators and civil rights organizations, such as the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI). Florida’s Governor, Ron DeSantis’s, so-called “anti-woke” rhetoric is being held accountable for these new standards, approved by the state board of education last Wednesday. Under DeSantis’s administration, the Florida legislature enacted a law that prevents public schools from teaching an...

Continued from last week. One word more so that you will be sure to remember our people. If it had not been for them, you would not be here. If one hundred and sixty winters ago, our warriors had not helped the British at Quebec, Quebec would have fallen to the British. The French would then have driven your English-speaking forefathers out of his land, bag and baggage. Then it would have been a French speaking people here today, not you. That part of your history cannot be blotted out by the stealing of our wampum belts in which that is...
A local elder recently asked to talk to Indian Time Newspaper. She wanted to express her thanks to the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and the services they offer to seniors. I mentioned she could write a 'thank you letter' and submit it to the paper. But she wanted more, she said, no I want you to write the story. This is more than just a thank you letter. It was the difference between moving away from Akwesasne and staying in a community that she feels takes care of community members. It all started...

By Isaac White. This week I will not tell a tale of father and son. Nor will I regale you with tales of past sorrows and regrets. You will not be put upon with an elegy. It is my sincerest effort to just have some fun this week, even if the movie I want to talk about isn’t outright funny. My taste in film is quite varied. I think by now you’ve all recognized that is the case and though I know we all like to think we’re quite special because of our varied preferences (I’m including myself here, I’m not letting myself off the hook) in movies, mus...

CORNWALL, ON – In the hot summer weather, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) reminds the public that hydroelectric stations and dams are not places to cool down.

Operators can open or operate dams at any time, leading to fast flowing water and movement downstream, which could create strong undertows, turbulence, and sudden, powerful gushes. OPG also reminds the public to stay clear of areas with fences, buoys, booms, and barriers and comply w...
