Call Me Indian: From the Trauma of Residential School to Becoming the NHL's First Treaty Indigenous
'Fred Sasakamoose played in the NHL before First Nations people had the right to vote in Canada. This page turner will have you cheering for 'Fast Freddy' as he faces off against huge challenges both on and off the ice--a great gift to every proud hockey fan, Canadian, and Indigenous person.' --Wab Kinew, Leader of the Manitoba NDP and author of The Reason You Walk Trailblazer. Residential school Survivor. First Treaty Indigenous player in the NHL. All of these descriptions are true--but none of them tell the whole story. 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 and teaching Foster Hewitt how to pronounce his name. Sasakamoose played against such legends as Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, 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 established athletic programs for kids. He paved a way for youth to find solace and meaning in sports for generations to come. Yet, threaded through these impressive accomplishments were periods of heartbreak and unimaginable tragedy--as well moments of passion and great joy. 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.

Después de veintitrés etapas y casi cinco mil kilómetros, al término del Tour de Francia de 1952, los aplausos del Parque de los Príncipes son todos para el maillot amarillo italiano, el dominador absoluto de la carrera: Fausto Coppi. Con el apoyo del equipo nacional en el que brillaban entre otros dos grandes del ciclismo italiano, Gino Bartali y Fiorenzo Magni, Coppi logró resistir a los ataques de los franceses, de los belgas y de los españoles y reponerse a una serie de desafortunados accidentes. Mario Fossati fue testigo de aquella hazaña. Enviado por La Gazzetta dello Sport, siguió la carrera desde una motocicleta y recopiló información en los hoteles donde se alojaban sus protagonistas. En el libro narra el triunfo de Coppi día tras día como si fuera un guion cinematográfico. Fossati no se limita a la descripción de las etapas sino que ofrece un retrato de todos sus protagonistas, analiza la rivalidad entre Coppi y Bartali, desvela las estrategias de Alfredo Binda, excampeón y capitán del equipo italiano, y recopila las palabras de Biagio Cavanna, el fisioterapeuta ciego, mentor de Coppi. Con un estilo tan elegante y potente como una escapada del Campeonísimo, uno de los maestros del periodismo italiano nos devuelve aquel ciclismo heroico, el deporte por excelencia, en el que una entera generación se vio reflejada.

'En mayo de 1949 Sicilia acoge la salida y las primeras dos etapas de la más prestigiosa competición del ciclismo nacional, el Giro de Italia. La trigésimo segunda edición fue memorable, entre otras cosas, porque tuvo a un cronista de excepción: Dino Buzzati. La competición se desarrolla en un contexto histórico particular: el progresivo acercamiento del Giro al sur de Italia, en la tierra del bandido Giuliano, para subrayar la renovada unidad nacional, teniendo como telón de fondo la reconstrucción posbélica de una Italia empobrecida y destrozada por la guerra. Dos semanas después de la tragedia del Gran Torino, desaparecido para siempre entre las nieblas de Superga, el 18 de mayo desembarcan en Palermo 102 ciclistas, y entre ellos, Dino Buzzati, corresponsal del Corriere della Sera. El escritor y periodista no se limita a la crónica deportiva, sino que construye un memorable retrato de aquella Italia eufórica e inquieta y de aquellos atletas que devolvieron algo de felicidad a un país que necesitaba olvidar. En la crónica de Buzzati no podían faltar Fausto Coppi y Gino Bartali, los gigantes del ciclismo italiano, cuya rivalidad adquiere tintes de alegoría bélica ofreciendo un ejemplo impecable de periodismo literario. Los veinticinco artículos pueden y deben leerse como un largo relato, donde el narrador acaba eclipsando al periodista, la percepción se entrelaza cada vez más con la imaginación y la descripción se transforma en una misteriosa y encantadora metáfora de la existencia. '

La vigésimo octava edición de la vuelta a España se celebró del 26 de abril al 13 de mayo de 1973, constó de un prólogo y diecisiete etapas. De Calpe salieron 80 ciclistas repartidos en 8 equipos.in duda alguna, la gran atracción fue la presencia, por primera vez en la Vuelta, del gran campeón Eddy Merckx que en su camino había ido sembrando rivales y que en esta edición coincidiría con dos de sus «enemigos íntimos» españoles: Luis Ocaña y José Manuel Fuente.Más de cuarenta años después de aquella Vuelta memorable, las crónicas de Simón Rufo nos ayudan a evocar con emoción y nostalgia aquel tiempo en que las carreras eran una fiesta deportiva que paralizaba a todo el país y el periodismo era el oficio que se encargaba de transformar las hazañas sobre las dos ruedas en algo épico.Y no se olvide: eran crónicas de urgencia y sin reposo, al ritmo implacable del cierre y de grandes tiradas, fueron un tiempo y unas peripecias que el gigante Eddy y el bravo Ocaña hicieron grandes e inolvidables.
