Drawing on a rich and varied set of oral and textual sources, including interviews with award recipients and Jan Eisenhardt, the creator of the Awards himself, Janice Forsyth critically assesses the state's role in policing Indigenous bodies and identities through sport, from the assimilationist sporting regulations of residential schools to the present-day exclusion of Indigenous activities from mainstream sports. This work recognizes the role of sport as a tool for colonization in Canada, while also acknowledging its potential to become a tool for decolonization and self-determination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janice Forsyth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889777306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889777309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Regina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Janice Forsyth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989032829183,"sku":"9780889777309","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55d98887-512f-417f-bd66-918c90a96720.jpg?v=1683297489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reclaiming-tom-longboat-janice-forsyth-9780889777309","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
