(Continued from page 3) News. "The gang mentality of the Men's Fire has no place in our community and our society. What kind of example are the Men's Fire setting for our youth and young children? Certainly it isn't conducive to a healthy, well-rounded mindset. "Aaron Detlor is a Six Nations band member who has the same rights as all other band members," Miller continued. "If we allow the Men's Fire to treat one of our band members in such a brutal manner what is next?" The Men's Fire claimed they got authority from Cayuga Clanmothers to take the action. However, a Clanmother present at the scene said she had no knowledge of any plan to evict Detlor from the community. Laurie Froman, who works at the Grand River Employment and Training building where Detlor's office is located, demanded answers from Monture. "I'm a Cayuga Wolf Clanmother and I'd like to know what's going on," Froman said to Monture after he questioned who she was. "I was told it was at the behest of Cayuga Clanmothers that this would happen. I happen to be one. Nobody asked me. I would not agree with you putting your hands on somebody." Monture defended the group's actions, saying, "We asked him four or five times to leave" and he wouldn't. Froman said, "That's because he works here." Monture replied, "He no longer works here," adding that the Men's Fire would be monitoring in the future to make sure Detlor didn't return to his office. He didn't elaborate how the Men's Fire would enforce that. "I mean no disrespect," said Monture. "He no longer works here. He isn't good for our people." Ironically Detlor had represented members of the Men's Fire, including Monture, last year, managing to get all mischief charges against them dropped after the Men's Fire shut down Hwy. 6 over a weekend to draw attention to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Just last week he had charges under Aggregates Act against Bill Monture dropped. "I spoke with Monture last week in attendance on another matter and there seemed to be no acrimony. I represented him on another matter and was successful in having charges under the Aggregate Resource Act for operating a gravel pit without a license withdrawn." Monture attempted to walk away from Froman when she invited him to talk to her, saying he saw her talking to HDI Director Hazel Hill, who had was in the parking lot of the GREAT building, and that Froman "works with" the HDI. "She (Froman) should've met with those (Cayuga) Clanmothers to discuss this," he told Turtle Island News publisher Lynda Powless when Powless asked him to clarify if Cayuga Clanmothers gave him the authority to take the action. "We've been having meetings all throughout this whole community for the last three months. This is only the start of what's coming," Monture warned. When asked where the Clanmothers were who instructed Monture to take the action, he said, "I don't know. Go ask Janace (Henry)." Detlor has suffered a dislocated knee among other injuries.
