Lacrosse has been a central element of Indigenous cultures for
centuries, but once non-Indigenous players entered the sport, it
became a site of appropriation - then reclamation - of Indigenous
identities. The Creator's Game focuses on the history of lacrosse
in Indigenous communities from the 1860s to the 1990s, exploring
Indigenous-non-Indigenous relations and Indigenous identity
formation. While the game was being appropriated in the process of
constructing a new identity for the nation-state of Canada, it was
also being used by Indigenous peoples to resist residential school
experiences, initiate pan-Indigenous political mobilization, and
articulate Indigenous sovereignty. This engaging and innovative
book provides a unique view of Indigenous self-determination and
nationhood in the face of settler-colonialism.
The Book describes in detail how the letters that Jack the Ripper
wrote to the police and others who had an interest in the murders,
contained a message. The message was also found on the chalk
writing on the wall, the enigmatic, the Junes are the men that will
not be blamed for nothing. This was found soon after and near to
where the fifth victim, Catherine Eddowe's body was discovered.
Just below the writing, lying on the ground, was a piece of
Catherines apron, still wet with blood. This was the murders way of
showing that he had written the words above the apron. When the
words are decoded, the message contained shows that they were
written by the English impressionist painter Walter Richard Sickert
who was born on May 31st 1860 in Munich, Germany, and died on
Janurary 22nd 1942 in Bath, England. For many years Sickert was a
close friend of the writer, Oscar Wilde until Wilde was sent to
prison. When Wilde was released from prison, Sickert eschewed him.
Wildes novel, the picture of Dorian Gray, written in 1890 when they
were still friends, confirms in a coded message that Wilde knew
that Sickert was Jack the Ripper.
