Racism has a large impact on people whether it’s physical abuse or mental abuse. We can see the mental affect it has on Saul when he moves up in hockey. He just wants to play the game but the white teams don’t see him as an equal, they insult him and his heritage. This ruins the game for Saul and turns him into something he isn’t. These insults have a lasting impact on him and he starts to become what they say he is, The Rampaging Redskin. The mental abuse that happens through racism really hurts people and isolates them. Instead of being seen as a good hockey player he is seen only as an Indian, he feels alone and ashamed of his culture. The people who face racism tend to feel as though they are inferior and unequal. Another example of this is in “Do you Remember the Evacuation.” The protagonist of the story is still looked down upon even though they are Canadian. People who face racism find many different ways to cope and heal but sadly this can often be drinking. While it may help them forget they often become addicted to the drinking and see it as their only escape. Meanwhile they are only making things worse. Racism affects many people and these affects can pass on throughout the generations just as it has on the First Nations.
