Residential School Survivor. First Treaty Indigenous Player In The Nhl. All Of These Descriptions Are Truebut 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.
