<p><strong>Winner of the Canada Reads People's Choice award and the First Nations Communities Reads program and short-listed for the International IMPAC DUBLIN Literary Award.</strong></p><p><strong>A Globe and Mail top 100 book of 2012</strong></p><p>Saul Indian Horse is dying. Tucked away in a hospice high above the clash and clang of a big city, he embarks on a marvellous journey of imagination back through the life he led as a northern Ojibway, with all its sorrows and joys.</p><p>With compassion and insight, author <strong>Richard Wagamese</strong> traces through his fictional characters the decline of a culture and a cultural way. For Saul, taken forcibly from the land and his family when he's sent to residential school, salvation comes for a while through his incredible gifts as a hockey player. But in the harsh realities of 1960s Canada, he battles obdurate racism and the spirit-destroying effects of cultural alienation and displacement.</p><p><strong><em>Indian Horse</em></strong> unfolds against the bleak loveliness of northern Ontario, all rock, marsh, bog and cedar. <strong>Wagamese</strong> writes with a spare beauty, penetrating the heart of a remarkable Ojibway man.
