Saul Indian Horse tells his story as a way to heal past wounds. Hopefully, by telling his story he is able to come to terms with what happened to him in Residential School including the sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Canadians can benefit from hearing his story because that way we can keep the atrocities of what happened in Residential Schools alive and not forget our history.  It is easy to think that the effects of Residential Schools are in the past but because of stories like this we can move forward with the Truths of the past and hopefully Reconcile in the future.

One connection that I made while watching the movie was the gender inequalities of Residential School.  I couldn't help but wonder if Rebecca could have also made a connection with hockey if she would have been allowed to play.  As a female hockey player, I found that playing hockey relieved stress and helped me refocus my energy.  I wonder if Rebecca had been allowed to play hockey if that would have helped her work through her sister's death in a healthier way.

In the film “Indian Horse” hockey shows the Settler and Indeginous relationship. Indigenous hockey teams don’t play with “white” teams. I think this shows the relationship because the white teams act like they’re better than the Indeginous teams.This really reflects what it was like when settlers came to Canada and took over the land.

# data[].attributes.body
The game of hockey in the film Indian horse , is like a glimps into Canadian settler and indigenous relations because of the fact that because even knowing during that time of racism and brutality , it rather brought hope. Hockey for both Canadian and Indians were important because they were able to connect through all of that , and even knowing Indian hockey players were still trashed. Yes alot of violence has occurred, but between Canadian and Indians there was promise of , education , sports , and other things !

It was important for Saul to tell his story because it truly brought a new aspect to Indian lives during the residential schools. It showed us that even if your able , to escape the pain , the silence and the agony the memory stays with you and can even cause PTSD ( post traumatic stress disorder). It’s important for Canadians to hear and remember his story and the atrocities that were committed by the schools and the priests because we need to learn from it. Canadians as a whole we did a really terrible thing. We constantly hurt innocent people and turned them into depressed and even suicidal and sometimes even homicidal people. We needed to hear so we can do better in the future.

The movie Indian horse has shown us the love , the respect and the traditions and culture of the indigenous people in ways like how they’ve spoken. They mention , the river and everything , and how Indians God’s and goddesses fished and raised the land. We were told of there traditions and what they did as a culture to hopefully , bring an understanding and try to get rid of , any chance of residential schools coming back. The life long consequences of the schools and what’s they did were traumatizing. It caused suicides , homicides , and many more. Through the atrocities , it showed us the importance of a culture Because each culture brings a significant touch to city and we shouldn’t destroy good culture.

In the movie power is represented by the  priests and nuns. These people had 100% control over the Indians actions and thoughts and how they speak. They would control what sports and what people did what. A few examples of this is how when the nun punished sauls friend for not knowing English’s and demanded him to speak “ properly” such things continue throughout the movieuntil Saul goes to plays hockey for the moose. Another example of power is when the priest and nun kept taking the little Girl away from this other girl and said the girl should be clinging to god and not to her. A final example of power was when the priest made Saul suck his 🤬 which represented physical power , over Saul as in ways of “ payment”. The Toronto monarchs which was the new team Saul was drafted too had power cause they were known as big and controls where and what players are on the ice.

One connection that hasn’t been talked about was the after affect of when Saul was on a team for hockey , when it was shown that people specifically targeted Saul based on nationality ( Indian). it was also shown that people actually attacked , Saul and his friends because of who they are as a whole. It was not really talked about because maybe it wasn’t that important but I think it’s a connection that should have been discussed and I’m glad I said it!

It is a glimpse into the relationship because the indigenous players has to play in their own league and once they were able to play with the "settlers" they were discriminated against, they drew Saul as a stereotypical first nations person in the paper and at games they threw figures of what people back then thought the first nations had looked like. The other players on Saul's big league team the other players would make racist remarks to him.

# data[].attributes.body
It’s a glimpse into settler and indigenous relations because both settler and indigenous people play hockey, even though the settlers didn’t like competing against the indigenous teams. Which also brings us to how the referees favoured the settlers teams, but if an indigenous person were to fight back they’d be sent into the penalty box or be kicked out of the game. Which of course was racist. This also brings us back to how the indigenous people were treated when settlers first came to Canada and took their land and were racist then too.

# data[].attributes.body
It all starts with the fact they both like the sport, that it gives them a good feeling, and also the fact that it brings them together. We know that white people had alot of priveledge back then and this was the aboriginal people’s way of being even with them, Saul especially makes this work until he grows into depression, later causing drinking problems and becoming homeless

# data[].attributes.body
i think that it shows a glimpse into their relationship because their teams were seperated. when they went to their game with the white hockey team, they got racial slurs yelled at them and were booed at. i think this is a good example of their relationship because they were kicked off their land and the settlers stole it.

# data[].attributes.body
The game hockey is a glimpse into Canadian settler and indigenous relations because hockey is known as a Canadian sport. I’ve noticed that alot of white people play hockey and once someone of a. Different race starts to play it gets really racist. As soon as an “indigenous” person started to play with “white” people he got singled out and made fun of.

The purpose of Saul Indian Horse telling his story is to let all Indigenous and non Indigenous peoples know about what really went on In and out of Residential schools. Canadians benefit from Saul telling his story by understanding what really went on. A lot of Canadians think Residential Schools were for Indigenous kids to learn and grow, but that wasn’t the case at all. By Saul telling his story Canadians learn about the mental and physical abuse these young kids went through.

I personally think the game of hockey relates to the indigenous peoples proving that they can compete in a challenging world with hard challenges. The relationship between the two are both out to play a good game of hockey. (Not really understanding this)

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the film show a the relationship of the settlers and the indigenous people. The indigenous people have to play in there own league and everybody thinks that’s the white teams are better and they were surprised when they seen that the indigenous people could actually skate. This kind of shows how racist people were back then

Tata, I think Indian indigenous people loved to play hockey and they like to play in the same Indian people team. They can’t play with white peoples teams indigenous people aren’t white enough. Indigenous people love the game “hockey” settler came to the land and took the land basically is to steal something is not yours.They  took the land they put indigenous people in small area and they took the rest of the land.Indigenous people love to share what they have even is though they don’t have much. If white mans or people don’t like the indigenous people to play in same team or play together.

Power is represented with the sisters and the fathers, telling the kids what to do and punishing them. They have their own cult with there own beliefs, with them believing in God and jesus. An example is when one of the nuns had given lonnie or sully a spanking with a paddle. Or when the Father in charge had told one of the fathers in charge that sully couldnt play hockey because he was too young.

# data[].attributes.body
I think hockey in Indian Horse represents the relationship between white people Andy indigenous people because hockey is seen as a white mans sport and white people make the rules for the game. Everyone who went to a hockey game with indigenous players started to “boo” them and not show any support for them whatsoever.  This shows that white people didn’t care about any of the indigenous people because they’d were seen as less. That’s what I think the connections are between hockey Andy the relationship between white and indigenous people.

the purpose it serves for Saul is closure. By talking about his experience, people can help fix the lasting memories and and help him deal with his trauma in good and helathy ways. All Canadians can benefit listening to his story by knowing what kind of things happened in Residential School. Even though nothing will be the same, we can still try to fix it with the information we’ve gotten through Residential School survivors.

It serves Saul a purpose of accomplishment and a way for him to heal his past. Perhaps by him telling his story he can over come his experience at Residental School. Especially dealing with his sexual abuse, emotional abuse and any other past experiences he’s had. Canadians benefit from hearing Residental School stories and Saul Indian horse’s story by recognizing our past mistakes and not forgetting our history. It keeps reminding us of all the traumas and lives that our past selves have traumatized, taunted or even ended. Hopefully for us, like all Residental School stories should, this should help us to move forward and never return back to our past mistakes.

Saul Indian Horse tells his story and it has a very strong purpose. The purpose this serves is that Saul made a change and made people think differently about him. Just because he isn’t “white” doesn’t mean he isn’t as good as anybody else. The Canadians who heard his story mad them think about “indigenous” people different. They thought First Nation people cant play hockey but it changed when they heard his story.

Saul shows the importance of Indigenous family   by respecting his culture throughout his life. Even though his parents raised him half Indigenous and half white. Saul shows the importance of family by staying with his grandma even when she was deceased. Saul also kept the rock from his deceased brother up until the moment it was taken away by the nuns. Saul also shows commitment to his Indigenous hockey team, even though he was offered an opportunity to play on a more elite team.

# data[].attributes.body
Hockey
They both play the same sport the same way but non-aboriginal people seem to think that they’re better then aboriginal people and start treating them like there trash, even when Saul was on the same team as the settlers they didn’t except him as there team member or really, as a person. So because of this experience that Saul had, he quit his dream and got into a very bad stage in life that made people think even less of him. So as this happened in the past there are still “white” people who think there better and will treat anyone the same way that Saul got treated but maybe even worse.

The purpose of his story being told is to get the story behind all the people affect by the horrible acts that were committed in the residential schools and the "teachers" in the schools, the movie also showed how it affected the family behind the children. All Canadians can benefit from hearing his story by remembering the acts that were committed by our own government and we also need to recognize that WE did that not someone else our own ancestors, Canadians can also connect to this story more because the majority of our population enjoys hockey and that spot plays a big role in the movie. We need to reconcile our actions.

“Indian Horse” shows the importance of family by always remembering where he can from and who he is. Even though people singled him out and made him think that he is different than all of them. Residential schools goal was to take the Indian out of the child but it didn’t work for alot of children.

Indian Horse shows the lifelong consequences of Residential Schools when Saul left the Toronto Monarchs and became an alcoholic. The doctor said that if he drank anymore he would die. he then went to his old Residential School and had flashbacks of his sexual assault. Those memories will last forever. Their language and culture has holes in it from the schools trying to make them “normal”  The importance of family is that they’re  always there for you like in the end when he came back to meet his friends from the Moose hockey team.

Hockey in “indian horse”, makes it seem like First Nations can do just as much as white people can do. It just isnt a white persons game. When they played hockey against white people, they claimed it was their “game”. Than played super rough, but the first nations played it for fun and spirits. They proved that they can play or do anything just as much as any other person.

The purpose of Saul telling his story is make people aware of what being and indigenous person was like when he tried to make a life for himself. He wanted to share his struggles in his life, like being sent to a residential school and being treated like garbage when he was playing hockey. I think Canadians can learn that no matter what race you are you shouldn’t be treated less than someone else. Everyone should try and put themselves in a situation that somebody else might be in.

Power is presentwd through the priests who took care of the indigenous kids.  They showed power by physical force to the kids, they did this to show they’re in charge and have power.  Example is when sauls friend would speak English and the priest hit him.

Saul shows importance to his family and friends in many ways. He respects his grandmothers ways of life and stayed with her when she died until he was taken away from the priests and nuns. He also kept the “special” rock that his brother had given to him. He also wanted to keep his rock with him in Residental School but the nuns and priests took it away. He also showed very much respect to the family that agreed to take him home even though that family was partially white. He still appreciated hem and loved them even though they weren’t indigenous. He also showed respect to his hockey team Moose and felt the need to stay even though he was offered a spot with the Toronto Monarchs. Especially when he took the position he respected his coach and tried to respect his hockey team even though they didn’t respect him. When he decided to leave the Toronto team he came back to his family and his old team Moose.

# data[].attributes.body
In “Indian Horse” the power is in the kids and adults who survived Residential schools. The power is within them, and the power they give each other. An example of that is when Saul encouraged his friend to keep going and that it would all be ok. Power is also represented in the Priests and Nuns. In one scene during “Indian Horse” the priest we all thought was incredible, we later find out he raped Saul. That was the power he held over Saul and will continue to be the power that hangs over Saul his whole life.

The situation that I noticed with the most power was near the end. When Saul went back to his old school and was having flashbacks of his life as a child. He was walking walking around near his hockey rink and had a flack back of his coach/priest talking to him. He asked him what he was practicing shooting with and he said “frozen horse turds” and the priest sexually harassed him, and made him do it to play hockey.

In the film "Indian Horse" the "Indigenous people" were not allowed to play hockey on the same team as "White people" and when they came we didn't like them coming on to there land so they kicked them out and gave them separate pieces of land because they thought they were better.

It serves that Saul Indian Horse, should tell his story not only for how he got treated in residential schools, but also for some parts of kindness that some of the sisters and fathers showed. Canadians should listen too how some of the first nations people became hockey fans or players. Or how some people have been through alot too just too become who they are today. Alot of people would call Sulivan a miracle kid.

This film shows the importance of family and culture. When Saul went to live with some else to play with the moose he became apart of their family and it is important that’s they remember their cultures and language after the residential school and pass their culture on to the next generation. The concquences of the residential school are the terrible memory’s they have of It.

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose
The purpose of his story was to tell all people especially indigenous and non-indigenous people on what horrible things when wrong in the past, not just how Indians got treated in the schools but how they got treated in actual everyday life. Like when Saul was playing for the settlers hockey team but they didn’t treat him as a team member they treated him as a “savage Indian”. People need to know what happened in Canadian history.

A comment that isn’t being discussed is that right before the bar fight when everyone went outside, the bartender did nothing. He didn’t even go outside or call the cops. This shows that this occurrence is normalized. Or it could mean that the bartender was in on the fight. Either one is not right and should be changed before it’s too late.

A part of the movie that wasn’t being discussed in the previous question was when he started to play hockey. Saul took it into his own hands and chose to do something he loves even though he wasn’t supposed to. Saul was to young but loved the game hockey and tried his hardest to learn the sport without a coach. The teachers at the school noticed he was to young and small to play but that didn’t stop him from trying. The team ended up looking up to him even thought he was the youngest

# data[].attributes.body
It shows the importance of native culture in a couple of ways. First of all, Saul keeps the rock his brother gave him at the beginning of the movie Andy doesn’t let go of it. Another example is Saul growing his hair without cutting it for a long time. The movie shows more examples but there are too many to list.

# data[].attributes.body
Power is shown throughout the whole movie. It starts by Sauls mother having power over his brother and deciding to take him to Residental School without complaint. Then the priests and nuns had power over all the “Indians” over every single thing they did. They couldn’t have long hair, they had to be washed and de-liced, the girls couldn’t play hockey, and the boys had to be old enough to play as well. The Priests and nuns had complete and total power over all indigenous kids. Power is also displayed by the drunken settlers in the bar saying the “Indians” could not eat or hangout there or else they’d have to fight them for it. It’s also displayed from when the settlers peed on the “indians“ because they could. The power everyone is using, they aren’t using it for good. They are using it in a foul and racist way.

Saul  shows the importance indigenous families it’s to show respect even though we are not same colour but you have to respect. Soul kept the stone someone in the family gave it to him something special he kept it. Residential schools teachers took it away from him. It’s culture thing that you can’t just come and talk bull 🤬 it’s not yours it’s from someone who truly cares about me. Residential schools it’s somewhere you got beaten for no reason they can beat you because you didn’t speak English so their culture all this things wouldn’t happened.

One thing that was not talked about was how, we thought sully was playing hockey for a good deed by cleaning the rink every morning, than practicing shortly after for a few mins or an hour. And he seemed too enjoy it very much. Teaching himself how too skate and shoot. But near the very ending, it shows that he wasnt doing it for a good deed, the father let him do it because sulivan was doing a very sexual act for him. Which was a very very big heartbreaking and deep moment. It shows that not everything in a residential school. Was not nice at all. Nothing was good.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection I made was to Saul when he wasn’t being treated fair on the ice.  Saul got tackled and the referee didn’t call the white person out but when Saul did it he was benched.  I’ve had this happen in class when friends were on their phone and the teacher didn’t say anything but when I do it I get my phone taken away the whole day lol

Something that wasn’t discussed in the previous questions was the very discriminatory referee. The team competing with the Monarchs was in favour. They were body checking, pushing, shoving, and playing unfairly. When Saul had enough he shoved a player back and got sent to the penalty box. Something that the other team had never received. And then following that when Saul knocked another player out for shoving/ body checking he got kicked out of the game. The other team never got punished or any consequences for their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Power
There’s two types of power I see in the movie, good and bad. Good is when Saul had the power to teach himself hockey everyday and had the power to persuade the teachers to allow him to play hockey, he had the power to chase his dream and play. Bad is when the settlers used their power to abuse the children in every way they could think of. To push religion on the children and taking who they are away.

The power is with the people who survived in the residential school. It’s because they been all through this stuff and they trying to survive that’s where they have powers. Saul has powers because he teaches himself hockey and he became the best player. He has powers because he was in residential school and he played hockey and he became the best. Better than “white kids”.

Indian horse shows, the life before the residential schools, during, and after. Before the schools, the First Nations people we’re loving life, hunting, fishing and dancing. But the whites take that all away. During the residential schools when sully first got there. He was treated no less than a human. But when he started too grow up around the age of nine or ten. A father built a hockey rink for the older kids. Sully couldnt play, but than he asked too clean the rink every morning. He did so and got too play hockey. This teaches that indigenous people can do just as much as white people. Hockey could be added into their beliefs just as much as anything.

It’s where the took saul’s friend outside they beat him up no body stand up for him white kids beat him. Other connection  is if white mans didn’t want to play with him he maybe wants to back home because is not treated well like others.

# data[].attributes.body
My thought on what wasn’t really discussed or wasn’t discussed at all was how this whole matter was viewed. All these Indigenous kids were being taken away from their families, no white folks tried to help and say that it was wrong, instead they stood by and let it happen. Another example is how at the bar after the Moose’s won the hockey game these white men approached them. The white men beat their captain up and no one tried to stop him, not even the rest of the team. I also think this shows the power and fear white men have put over Indigenous people’s.

The purpose of Saul telling his story is a form of coping for himself, so he can heal from his past. And  to help other Indigenous people that went through similar experiences. Canadians can benefit from this story because this is a good example of how the government isnt always what they say they are. Canadians can learn that racism isnt worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
Power is shown throughout the film in many different occasions and instances. An example is the residential school and the students that attended, the staff had complete control over the students and they tell them what they can and can’t do. Another example is when Saul was playing hockey, the coach never penalized a white player when he deserved it but he penalized Saul when he didn’t really do anything to be penalized. The other hockey players also trampled over him in every game, sometimes even his own team never supported him, they only tried to bring him down and make him feel like garbage. It’s clear in the movie that only white people seemed to have power while indigenous people were treated like less than people, which is unacceptable.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I feel like none of the previous questions discussed that I feel like should have been was at the very beginning of the movie when Saul’s parents just abandoned him. There was never a question that asked “Do you think Saul’s parents should have left him with his grandmother?” I feel like that there should have been a question about that because no parents should abandon their child, no matter what.

The purpose of Saul Indian Horses story was to tell the people what indigenous went through and told us what happened when he tried to go for his dreams. Canadians could benefit from this because it shows how much racism there is and they could stop racism

“Indian horse” shows the importance of indigenous culture by getting Saul to always reflect back on stuff they did in his real family. From the residential schools now he will be scared for life from the abuse.

During this show there were many times it showed power for example when they were at the bar the the on guy was beat up then peed on. There was also when they r in residential schools be told what to do then being abused if it wasn’t don the “right” way.

That Saul had to teach him self how to play hockey and then the aboriginal didn’t have to use helmet just the white people

It is a glimpse into Canadian Settlers and Indigenous relations because both groups play hockey, the settlers dont like playing the Indigenous people. The crowd would favour the settlers and put down the Indigenous people, the referees would also take the settlers side in any situation and give Indigenous worse consequences. I think this is a good example because it represents the relations between Indigenous people when they were kicked off their land by Settlers.

Saul shows the importance of family when he stays with his grandmother after she passes away. He also shows this when he attempts to keep his rock that his brother gave him but the Nuns took it away. He showed respect to the Toronto hockey team even though they didn't respect him. Saul also appreciated the white team that adopted him and showed affection to them.

The power is represented throughout the entire movie. The priests and Nuns had control over the Indigenous children in the residential schools, they were not allowed to speak their own language. Physical force was used to "teach" the Indigenous children, and being raped was a common thing. The men at the bar who made the Indigenous people fight was a great example of power.

A comment that isnt being discussed is during the bar fight some of the white settlers weren't even paying attention to the situation which made it seem like a regular occurrence. This shows how racism was also a regular occurrence

It tells us what things were like back then. Not only with culture but sports and everything. It also represents how aboriginal people were treated and it was unfair to them. We benefit from hearing this to make change and be better

“Indian Horse” shows that they never gave up on eachother and that everyone around them was family to them. They all had their own ways from their families and they all have their own story of how their families were split. But some made new families with friends because of this

In my interpretation, the idea of putting the sport hockey in the film is to show the cultural divide between the indigenous people and the settlers. The crowd was a parallel to society's bigot opinion about the Indigenous people. The crowd being very unpleasant and gate keeping Saul to play hockey is similar to the bias that favors first nations not getting jobs because of their ethnicity.

It is very much important for the story to come from Saul perspective because it makes it more heartfelt due to it being his own experience and expressed by his own emotions. Furthermore, it is better that Saul told his story than it being passed second hand and told by non indigenous person. Canadians can learn to be more respectful and to be more appropriate from Saul's story. Additionally, people can look back and learn to be more open minded and change for better when hearing his experiences.

The importance of family was represented first in the movie when Saul cherished a memory of a stone that his late brother gave to him. To add furthermore, Saul's parents leaving led him to be confused or lost similar to what happened late in the movie when he left his "new family" to join the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Power was presented through Saul's actions and choices. Saul's will to play hockey even though he was being stereotyped and being given handicaps indicate that power can be gained through experience and having a good mindset. Saul also showed great deal of power when he met Father Gaston and not show any act of violence even though Father Gaston sexually assaulted him. Finally, Power was illustrated when Saul told his story and picked himself back up.

An overlooked topic in the movie was that society was conforming to the idea of discrimination whether it was female not being able to play sports and were taught "women chores" or that it was alright to verbally and physically abuse indigenous people because they are different.
