Beginning with historical leaders (active in the late 1700s and 1800s) and including contemporary heroes, 14 individuals are highlighted. Included are sports stars (e.g., athlete Jim Thorpe, NHL goalie Carey Price), a celebrated First Nations soldier (Francis Pegahmagabow), an astronaut (John Herrington), and one of the first Indigenous physicians in the Victorian era (Dr. Susan Laflesche Picotte). While some of these leaders may be less well-known, brief biographies are included in the back matter which will orient readers and stimulate further enquiry and discussion for older students.
