Indigo has issued its list of top ten books for 2021 and “Call Me Indian” by Fred Sasakamoose has made the list.

A committee of Indigo staff read 5,000 books throughout the year and cast 4,000 votes, before discussing their favourites and deliberating for 20 hours to determine the best ten list.

Sasakamoose, one of the first Indigenous players in the NHL, died November 24th, 2020 from complications due to COVID-19. He passed away before his book was released in May of this year.

The former Chicago forward was 86 years old.
