quotes : I wondered what would become of us there. I wondered if the spirit, the manitous, of Gods Lake would look upon us with pity and compas- sion, if we would flourish on this land that was ours alone.（Richard Wagamese 20 chapters 5)

explanations : This sentence is what Saul said and emphasizes his great anger towards the white people who moved to Canadian land and took away the freedom of the indigenous people. He also used "pity and compassion" to express the misery of himself and his nation.

quotes : "Do they hate me?"
"They don't hate you, Saul." 'Well, what, then?"
"They think it's their game."(Richard Wagamese 93 chapters 23)

explanation : Saul was so good at hockey that even white teams wanted him, but at the same time, they would never accept him. Hockey made him stand out in a white world, but it also caused him great pain in the form of discrimination. Just like the white world loves Saul for his hockey, but they hate him because he's good at "their" game.

quotes :
The press would not let me be. When I hit someone, it wasn't just a bodycheck; I was counting coup.
When I made a dash down the ice and brought the crowd to their feet, I was on a raid. If I inadvertently high-sticked someone during a tussle in the corner, I was taking scalps. When I did not react to getting a penalty, I was the stoic Indian.(Richard Wagamese 164 chapters 38)

explanation : Saul is reduced to a racial group of Indians. He was pigeonholed and stereotyped for playing hockey like other players.

quotes : Did they rape everyone?" I asked.
There was a long silence. In the distance I could hear the sounds of the mill and a train. I waited and they both looked at the floor.
"It doesn't have to be sexual to be rape, Saul," Martha said.
"When they invade your spirit, it's rape too," Fred said.(Richard Wagamese 210 chapters 52)

explanations : Fred and Martha Kelly were able to talk openly with Saul about his trauma, and instead of expressing shock at Saul's past, they shared their own grief and connected it to his past. This allowed them to understand how Saul was feeling, which he admitted in the article's final line: "That's how I felt. Invasion." In addition to their own personal experiences, Fred and Martha said his A past is shared by every residential school survivor, even those who were not sexually assaulted. This made Saul feel less alone and more like a member of his own community.
