~ Trade Paperback, Media Tie-In Cover

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 racism and the spirit-destroying effects of cultural alienation and displacement.

Indian Horse unfolds against the bleak loveliness of northern Ontario, all rock, marsh, bog and cedar.  Wagamese writes with compassion and beauty as he traces the decline of a culture, and illustrates the heart of a remarkable Ojibway man.
