I thought I knew the bloody saga of Frog Lake. Then I learned another side of the story
A deadly encounter in 1885, between Cree warriors and settlers in Alberta, is part of my heritage. But a recent discovery has cast the events in a new light

John Damien was a respected and well-liked Ontario racetrack official.
Then in 1975, he was told he needed to resign from his job because he was homosexual.
He spent the last years of his life fighting for justice, even as he lost everything.
This is his story.
