“I’m a proud Ojibwe. I was born and raised in Garden River First Nation—a small community in Northern Ontario.”
Born and raised in Garden River First Nations, right on Lake Superior, professional hockey player Jordan Nolan is a member of the Ojibwe tribe. Within the small community, the thunderbird is omnipresent, and is symbolically painted on buildings as “a protector for our people,” says Nolan. For him, the thunderbird not only inspires through its sheer strength, but also influences his style of play.
“The thunderbird’s power inspires me. It also forms beautiful artwork,” says Nolan. “And much like the thunderbird, I think of myself as a protector on the ice and take pride in my teammates.” (x)
