À propos de cet audio

Saul Indian Horse is in critical condition. Sitting feeble in an alcoholism treatment facility, he is told that sharing his story will help relieve his agony. Though skeptical, he embarks on a heartbreaking journey from the present - and into the woods of Northern Ontario, where his life began in a snowy Ojibway camp. The tale that follows is one of great pain and great determination from Richard Wagamese, an author who "never seems to waste a shot" (New York Times).

After being taken forcibly from his family, Saul is placed in an abusive boarding school determined to expunge his Ojibway traditions and knowledge. But he finds salvation each morning at dawn, practicing hockey alone on the school's makeshift ice rink. Saul's gift is undeniable: He quickly rises from his school's all-Ojibway team to the white-dominated regional circuit. As his skills improve and he gains notoriety, however, each of his victories on the ice is met by racism and hate. As the years pass, Saul must reconcile his passion - the game he loves, that allowed him to escape poverty - with the harshness of a world that will never make him entirely welcome.

Unfolding against the bleak loveliness of Northern Ontario - all rock, marsh, bog, and cedar - this is a singular story of resilience from a beloved storyteller.

This book sheds light on the history of our native people and the circumstances they had to face in order to survive in a white man's country. I believe stories like this should be taught in our history classes in our public school systems.

I loved following Saul's story and how hockey became his saviour throughout his life. The way Richard Wagamese depicts such an iconic sport and shows it in a light I never knew before, allows me to fall in love with the sport and understand how it can impact a young boys life. I truly loved every second of this novel and cannot wait to read it again!

WOW! Enjoyable with each sentance

I can't say enough about this book. Gut-level story telling of the experience of the Residential School system and the horrific abuses that were part of daily life there. The real story of the Aboriginals in Canada. We need more folks to speak out this way until others stop denying our shared history.

Loved this one..

This is excellent account of the narrator's journey to and from the residential school system. How he rises out of the muck through his singular focus on sport to gain respect and admiration, only to lose it again. Such a good story teller is Richard Wagamese.
