Aboriginal Biographies: Athletes is one of the 2013 titles in Weigl Educational Publishers series about outstanding First Nation, Inuit, and Métis athletes. This title provides biographical details about the lives and careers of Tom Longboat Onondaga long distance runner; Colette Bourgonje Metis paralympic racer; Alwyn Morris Mohawk Olympic kayaker; Richard Peter Cowichan wheelchair basketball; Monica Pinette Metis pentathlete; and Jordin Tootoo Inuk hockey player. This 32-page resource offers elementary students with an introduction to an outstanding athlete who has made contributions to the sports of long distance running, hockey, pentathlon (horseback riding, swimming, running, shooting, and fencing), wheelchair racing, sit-ski racing, kayaking, and wheelchair basketball. Each person's story includes their family's story, details about their sports career, and their achievements and contributions to Canadian sports. Colour photographs, information text boxes, and a timeline. The book contains a helpful section about writing a biography activity, a glossary of terms, an index, and additional sources of information. A good balance of historical and contemporary sports figures. Recommended.
