The Community Implications of Aboriginal Peoples'Hockey in Canada
At the beginning of the founding of Canada,nationalists promoted Canadian hockey to be the status of national symbol and myth by cultural appropriation and national imagination.While Canada successfully accomplished its"national imagination",the spiritual and cultural significance committed to hockey by aboriginal peoples had been seriously distorted.From the perspective of aboriginal peoples in North America,the game serves as a sacred ceremony of respecting gods and ancestors,but aboriginal peoples'hockey,filled with profound national emotion and resistance to colonial conquest,is closer to reality,all of which reveal its community implication.Restoring the community meaning of aboriginal peoples'hockey is not only a way to examine Canada's colonial history and colonial rules,but also opens a new perspective for the development of multi-cultures and the construction of a community of shared future for mankind.
