Wrap-up

Looking Ahead

In the next module, you will be looking at the novel Indian Horse, written by the Ojibwe author Richard Wagamese. Throughout this module you will not only read and analyze excerpts from the novel, but will also look into some of the themes that Wagamese ties into his story. You will look at the history of Canadian/Indigenous relations, including the history of the Residential School System. You will also look at the role Hockey plays in Canadian and Indigenous culture, as well as the underlying racism that exists within the sport. Lastly, you will also look at the importance of language to culture, and how stories can both create culture, and be a vessel to pass culture on from generation to generation.
