They were accompanied by a professional photographer from the National Film Board’s Still Photography Division, who documented the experience. The tour was intended to demonstrate the success of the residential school system to the broader Canadian public and introduce the Black Hawks to “civilizing” activities that showed the ideals and benefits of assimilating into Canadian society. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tour left a complex legacy. For some of the boys, it was the beginning of a lifelong love of hockey. But, at the same time, playing hockey became less about the sport and more about escaping the brutal living conditions and abuse at the residential school. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eBeyond the Rink, Behind the Image\u003c\/em\u003e, Alexandra Giancarlo, Janice Forsyth, and Braden Te Hiwi collaborate with three surviving team members—Kelly Bull, Chris Cromarty, and David Wesley—to share their stories behind the 1951 tour photos. This book recontextualizes and repatriates photos from the tour and from their everyday lives at school, bringing together Indigenous studies and visual sociology to reveal the complicated role of sports in residential school histories. Accessible and moving, the Survivors’ stories commemorate the team’s stellar hockey record and athletic prowess while exposing important truths about “Canada’s Game” and how it shaped ideas about the nation. By considering their past, the Survivors imagine a better way forward not just for themselves, their families, and their communities, but for Canada as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface: Tea with Kelly (by Janice Forsyth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Picturing the Past\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch to Hide\tLearning from the Black Hawks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: The Whole Story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Photographs?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting at the Beginning\tReclaiming Stories, Restor(y)ing Self and Community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: The Truth about Photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographing Indigenous People: An Exploitative History\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicturing Modern Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographing Indigenous Children at School\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Promoting the “\u003cbr\u003eGood Work”\u003cbr\u003e of Schooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs of Sports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Surviving Pelican Lake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA School or a “\u003cbr\u003eWorkhouse”\u003cbr\u003e?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysical Education\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“\u003cbr\u003eA Danger:”\u003cbr\u003e Health and Illness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrder and Discipline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Hockey Will Make Things Better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Unlikely Champions: The Black Hawks, 1948–\u003cbr\u003e1951\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Symbolism of Indigenous Boys Playing “\u003cbr\u003eCanada’\u003cbr\u003es Game”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 6: A Means of Escape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 7: Visual Repatriation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpilogue: Picturing the Future (by Alexandra Giancarlo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Manitoba Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739566108952,"sku":"9781772841060","price":16.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-the-rink-behind-the-image-reclaiming-the-story-of-a-residential-school-hockey-team-paperback-softback-9781772841060","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
