(The nickname of the New Zealand Team) performed this ferocious, aggressive dance while facing a French team that stared bewildered by this intimidating display.
Conversely, there are few, if any players of indigenous descent on the Canadian Hockey teams. At least none that I know of. The Indians in Canada are hardly present at all in any prominent way. They seem to live in the margins of society, like an embarrassing relative that the family takes pains to avoid, a vast contrast to New Zealand. It is as if they live in a separate world than us, even if we are in the same country.
Bridging the Age Gap When I was younger, I didn’t get along with my sister at all. It might be the fact that we are both short tempered or the fact that we are twelve years apart, or simply the fact that we are siblings. We would compete for our parents’ affection and fight over the pettiest things, such as who gets the comfortable chair during dinner. One of our biggest fights was over who got the rocking chair on the balcony while our parents were at the grocery store. She saw me as the way-younger bratty, annoying sister whereas I saw her as tower of indifference and impregnability. My annoying antics were my only (if often futile) weapons to breach her defenses.
