Call Me Indian: From the Trauma of Residential School to Becoming the NHL's First Treaty Indigenous Player - Fred SasakamooseFred Sasakamoose, torn from his home at the age of seven, endured the horrors of residential school for a decade before becoming one of 120 players in the most elite hockey league in the world.

Fred Sasakamoose, torn from his home at the age of seven, endured the horrors of residential school for a decade before becoming one of 120 players in the most elite hockey league in the world. He has been heralded as the first Indigenous player with Treaty status in the NHL, making his official debut as a 1954 Chicago Black Hawks player on Hockey Night in Canada. Sasakamoose played against such legends as Gordie Howe, Jean Béliveau, and Maurice Richard. After twelve games, he returned home.

When people tell Sasakamoose's story, this is usually where they end it. They say he left the NHL to return to the family and culture that the Canadian government had ripped away from him. That returning to his family and home was more important to him than an NHL career. But there was much more to his decision than that. Understanding Sasakamoose's choice means acknowledging the dislocation and treatment of generations of Indigenous peoples. It means considering how a man who spent his childhood as a ward of the government would hear those supposedly golden words: "You are Black Hawks property."
 
Sasakamoose's story was far from over once his NHL days concluded. He continued to play for another decade in leagues around Western Canada. He became a band councillor, served as Chief, and paved a way for youth to find solace and meaning in sports for generations to come. This isn't just a hockey story; Sasakamoose's groundbreaking memoir sheds piercing light on Canadian history and Indigenous politics, and follows this extraordinary man's journey to reclaim pride in an identity and a heritage that had previously been used against him.

Best sunscreen brand! Fair, sensitive-skinned and rely on this
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Alba Botanica is my favorite brand for sunscreen products and it checks all the boxes on my list: Excellent long lasting coverage, fine mist spray and easy coverage cream versions, great for my sensitive skin (no breakouts- I do NOT use it on my face though), the Hawaiian fragrance is pleasant, it’s reef safe (a big one for me as a snorkel/dive aficionado), and organic ingredients. The large size lasts 5 full days when on a boat all day in the Carribbean, and I only apply it twice (once in morning, and again midday.) I have fair skin, and I never burn. The spray version is, by nature of its aerosol capacity, a bit drying on the skin, but this is to be expected, and it creates a long lasting barrier. The cream version is a wonderful emollient, although not quite as long lasting. Best deal is only in the summer season at CostCo for a 2 pack... in my searches, Amazon has the best deal otherwise.

Good, good, good — highly recommend!
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 96 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This Babyganics 3X detergent checks all the right boxes for me. It cleans really well, even on tough baby stains, yet it's super gentle — no harsh smell or irritation. I appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and made with safer ingredients, so I can feel confident using it on baby clothes, towels, and the whole family’s laundry. Plus, it’s concentrated, so the bottle lasts. If you want a reliable, baby-safe detergent you actually enjoy using — this is it.

With a newborn in the house, we needed a laundry detergent that was gentle, effective, and safe for the whole family. Babyganics 3X Baby Laundry Detergent has been our hero in the laundry room. Our baby has sensitive skin, and this detergent has been a game-changer. It's gentle, hypoallergenic, and free from any harsh chemicals. Our baby's skin has remained soft and irritation-free, which is a huge relief for us as parents. But the best part is that it's not just for baby clothes. We use it for the entire family's laundry, and it's been fantastic. The 3X concentration goes a long way, and it effectively removes stains and leaves our clothes smelling fresh and clean. The peace of mind this detergent provides is invaluable. It's safe, and we don't have to worry about any residue or harmful substances in our laundry. In conclusion, Babyganics 3X Baby Laundry Detergent has earned its place as a household essential for us. It's a laundry detergent that truly cares for sensitive skin and keeps our entire family's clothes clean and safe. We highly recommend it to all families, especially those with newborns or anyone with sensitive skin. It's a 5-star laundry solution!
