Reclaiming Tom Longboat
Indigenous Self-Determination in Canadian Sport
Janice Forsyth
This book recounts the history of Indigenous sport in Canada through the lens of the prestigious Tom Longboat Awards. Forsyth critically assesses the state’s role in policing Indigenous bodies and identities through sport, recognizing sport as a tool for colonization in Canada, while also acknowledging its potential to become a tool for decolonization and self-determination.
