Run named after renowned Haudenosaunee runner held on Six Nations land in Ont. since 1999

The Tom Longboat run, hosted annually by Six Nations of the Grand River (SNGR) near Brantford, Ont., since 1999, has been cancelled after the family spoke out against the First Nation’s cannabis industry.

Brian Winnie, grandson of the famed Haudenosaunee runner who died in 1949, published a statement on a family blog saying immediate family would not participate in today’s event as a direct result of the “societal catastrophe” that is the cannabis industry on Six Nations land.
