  • A War Between Stories: Leisure, Colonialism and My Struggles To
    A war between stories: Leisure, colonialism and my struggles to reconcile my Indigeneity by Daniel Henhawk A dissertation presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Recreation and Leisure Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Daniel Henhawk 2018 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Dr. Audrey Giles Professor, University of Ottawa Supervisor(s) Dr. Troy Glover Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Dr. Mark Havitz Professor, University of Waterloo Internal-external Member Dr. Craig Fortier Assistant Professor, Renison University College Other Member(s) Dr. Bryan Grimwood Associate Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This dissertation is concerned with oppression and “the reach of imperialism into our heads” (Smith, 2012, p. 63). It is concerned with the “war between stories” (Delgado, 2012, p.2419) between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples and thus the narrative character and the narrative space of such struggles. The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold. Firstly, to expose the tensions of oppression that surround leisure, sport and recreation in the Six Nations of the Grand River community through an Indigenous critique of the stories and narratives of three community leaders in the Six Nations community.

  • Capter 10 an Interview with Bob Hanna
    Chapter 10 An Interview with Bob Hanna Larry: I’m in the bowels of the Whitby Iroquois Pak arena. Today is Thursday June 22, 2005. I’m with Bob Hanna the coach, general manager, and player. Bob, where were you born, what was your height and weight, and which way did you shoot when you played? Bob: I was born in Fergus. I’m about 6’3” and played around 220-225 pounds. I shoot left. Larry: Where and when did you play your first lacrosse? Bob: I played my first lacrosse in Fergus. I think I was eleven or twelve when I first started playing organized lacrosse. Fergus was a real hotbed of lacrosse. I also played at school. Larry: Looking back at your career stats, I see you played three games for Mimico Mountaineers in 1953 as a 19-year-old. What you can remember about those games and the players you played with at the Senior A level? Bob: The first game I played with Mimico, five of us went from the Green Gaels to play against Peterborough. We played at the old Miller Bowl. Peterborough had won the Mann Cup the year before, and the Miller Bowl was sold out; 3 000 people, maybe 3 500. Peterborough had players like Lou Nickle,Curly Mason, Harry Wipper, and Moon Wootton playing goal. They beat us something like 31-3. 1 Larry: Do you remember the other four guys on the Green Gaels who went with you? Bob: Dennis McIntosh, Billy Davenport, maybe Charlie Ludlow, Gene Petroff, and myself.
