with what’s currently happening to ethan bear, i think white hockey fans really need to sit down and think about how fucking colonized hockey is. this is a sport that was used as an assimilation tactic in residential schools during the ethnic genocide of the indigenous peoples of canada. there are so many accounts from indigenous peoples firsthand explaining that they use hockey as a tool in their liberation. ethan bear has a right to play this sport that he loves and he deserves to be respected while he plays it. turning around and spewing racial slurs and harassing him on social media with racist stereotypes shows and enforces the settler colonialist ties in hockey. do better.

Some of the 'talk' about 'empowering . . . men'-- at least in the academy-- has yet to occur, I think for several reasons. The first thing is recovering traditional male roles and responsibilities and relating them to contemporary reserve and urban realities is an arduous process that needs to be undertaken across a multitude of living, evolving Indigenous nations throughout Canada. Basically, it is too difficult. Thus, in the academic context, we find several admissions like Michael A. Robidoux's, that a researcher has chosen to analyze 'First Nations masculinity as understood and described by  Early European inhabitants of Northern America' rather than by First Nations themselves, thereby 'avoid[ing] trying to provide some definitive notions of what First Nations masculinity entails.

The questions probed topics such as self-worth and gender relations. The end result is Masculindians: Conversations About indigenous Manhood which is being launched on Thursday March 6 at McNally Robinson Books in Winnipeg.
