Fight or submit : standing tall in two worlds / by Derrickson, Ronald M.,author.;
"In the opening to his memoir, Grand Chief Ron Derrickson says his "story is not a litany of complaints but a list of battles" that he has fought. And he promises he will not be overly pious in his telling of them. "As a businessman," he writes, "I like to give the straight goods." In Fight or Submit, Derrickson delivers on his promise and it turns out he has a hell of a story to tell. Born and raised in a tarpaper shack, he went on to become one of the most successful Indigenous businessmen in Canada. As a political leader, he served as Chief of the Westbank First Nation for a dozen years and was made a Grand Chief by the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs. Along the way, he has been the target of a full Royal Commission and an assassination attempt by a hitman hired by local whites. As Chief, he increased his community's revenues by 3500% and led his people into a war in the forest over logging rights. In 2015, he became an award-winning author when Unsettling Canada: A National Wake-Up Call, a book he co-authored with Arthur Manuel, won the Canadian History Association Literary Award. His second book co-authored with Manuel, Reconciliation Manifesto, won the B.C. Book Prize for non-fiction."--

Everyday hockey heroes. more uplifting stories celebrating our great game / by Lang, Jim,1965-author.;
"In this heartfelt collection of personal hockey stories, sports broadcaster and author Jim Lang brings together the remarkable voices of hockey players, coaches, families, and fans who have overcome adversity and are championing the game they love -- on and off the ice. Read about former Humboldt Broncos defenceman Logan Boulet, whose selfless organ donation helped six Canadians and motivated almost 150,000 people to register as donors in the following weeks. Meet players like Kelly Serbu, who didn't let his visual impairment stop him from playing hockey and is now raising awareness and funds for blind hockey programs, or Kim McCullough, who founded Total Female Hockey to empower other aspiring female players. Follow players and coaches of colour such as Jim Paek and Jason Payne who are helping to break down barriers, and the hockey parents who are working to make the game more accessible. These are the everyday heroes who are defying the odds and inspiring change. Featuring extraordinary stories of tireless advocates and unbelievable successes, Everyday Hockey Heroes, Volume III is a celebration of the great game of hockey and the heroes -- sung and unsung -- found on rinks and in arenas across the country."--
