Every experience brings with it a piece of our life, it is up to us to grasp it, make it ours, and live to the full the teachings that have arisen from it. But it takes courage to accept them, sometimes they are able to annihilate you, to bend you, to the point of turning you into an unknown being that you knew nothing about. A being able to really choose what to experience, a being able to go where no one had dared to go before, a being who understood that life must be lived to the end, accepting every consequence, overcoming every obstacle, falling and rising continually, because what has always belonged to us cannot be taken from us, and it is not possible that it is hidden from us. We have had the gift of free will, it is our helm, it is up to us to direct it where we want it to arrive, only to us. Today, that boy I was, gave way to the man I am. My name is Luke Bouer, and this is my story.

“Neither the highly commercialized nature of professional sports today nor the more casual attitude prevailing in amateur activities captures the essence of Indian sport,” writes Joseph B. Oxendine. Through sport, Indians sought blessings from a higher spirit. Sport that evolved from religious rites retained a spiritual dimension, as seen in the attitude and manner of preparing and participating. In American Indian Sports Heritage, Oxendine discusses the history and importance in everyday life of ball games (especially lacrosse), running, archery, swimming, snow snake, hoop-and-pole, and games of chance. Indians gained nationwide visibility as athletes in baseball and football; the teams at boarding schools such as the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania and the Haskell Institute in Kansas were especially famous. Oxendine describes the apex of Indian sports during the first three decades of the twentieth century and chronicles the decline since. He looks at the career of the legendary Jim Thorpe and provides brief biographies of other Indian athletes before and after 1930.
