Artefact Talks: Taking Higher Ground

Using guided questioning, students will learn about the racial barriers Hall of Famers Tom Longboat and Gaylord Powless overcame both in their life and sporting careers. Students will explore and reflect on how each Hall of Famer relied on role models and used elements of traditional Indigenous teachings to not only persevere, but also show integrity and sportsmanship in the face of adversity.
