Thank you for having the courage to speak up for yourself, and for us Ethan. As an indigenous person it meant ALOT to me to have you on the Oilers and I wish you and your family all the best 😁
This is awesome. Amazing way for ea sports for promoting and researching this topic and big shout out to Ethan bear for coming out and talking about this
Goes to show how humble we as a First Nation of Canada are and will forever be, Ethan has grown up to be a true leader in and out of the locker room and he didn't have to be drafted # 1 overall to show it. Much Love and RESPECT for our fellow Warrior keep up the good work Ethan hoka from Sturgeon Lake First Nation, Saskatchewan.
Love it! Sad that Edmonton oilers fans basically booed him out of the city sad that racism is still a big problem for natives and minorities alike. Love this Ethan Bear you're the best
@@ThisWholeWorld100 Well what else is it? Did you see the comments sent to him? It was racism pure and simple. Mean people like you made it about race - Ethan Bear didn't.
This video was so beautiful it made me cry. Love from Australia. Sport is supposed to bring us together, not separate us. Love will always be stronger then hate. Humanity will only reach it’s full potential when we finally come together as one.
welcome to the canucks,, i too am proud of my native routes. as a cree metis who shares my lineage with players like brian trottier and therian fluery, i love keeping track of all native players in the league. i'm sure that the way you react to adversity is sdmired but your community and by all canadians. may your future with the canucks be long and enjoyable.
Go get em Ethan! For us Oilers fans who were horrified at what you went through, and saddened to see you be traded and leave Edmonton. We wish you the most success and will be watching, smiling.
Yee yee don’t have to make assumptions asshole we as indigenous and First Nations ppl go through this type of shit all the time so ya people don’t be surprised when we start freaking lol
Hahahaha no he didn't. Sorry but I played for 20 plus years and never had a kid in a lockeroom be racist or anything. Ya I've seen players butt heads over hockey and play but this whole attention seeking shit is outta control
I absolutely love this! Such a brave spirit you are with the love of a great support group. My father in law always says those words "Love one another, respect one anotherl." 💓 My son's (who do not have social media) follow your career, the teachings you spread and you as an individual.
Prayers to The Elders go up for Ethan Bear. His Spirit is Blessed and he is highly favored to be a great leader of those who do not have the strength they need to see the Hope in Love!! Honorable Parents are Blessed by Honorable children. Ethan is a Blessing!
I am First Nation and I have a son who enjoys hockey he always goes to an outdoor rink and plays puts on his skates he’s also in a hockey team he is only 12 year old he also has a job on his free time he plays his guitar I am so proud of my son keeps himself busy even though it’s minus 36 outside he still goes to outdoor rink
Ethan Bear, I am so very very proud of you. Your courage and strength and spirit shows up in how you dealt with the unjust racist treatment you got. I tell kids in our Treaty 1 territory about you and how much I admire and respect you. Thank you for never forgetting who you are. Much respect to your family, wife, and community too!
To see a First Nation success story and to have them not look back to where they came from is very common to have people like Ethan Bear to give back and to represent not just to himself his family or his community but an entire world of people who who deal with racism in parts of there everyday living thank you sir love from Ocean Man First Nation
If it's any consolation, he knows he found himself a rock in his significant-other. Not many partners would have voluntarily come to the other's defence like that. Keep on doing what you love and giving joy to the future generation. I wish you played for our Sens. ; )
Ethan's a smart, respectable, strong young man. I give most of the credit to his amazing parents for this. He seems to have a wonderful fiancé, as well. He took on a problem and moved forward instead of becoming a victim. Great, great job, mom and dad!
i have a story about racism in the locker room, i had just joined a team, haven’t even played 1 game or been introduced yet. i was suiting and this guy starts telling a story of how over the long weekend that his house got robbed, but the funny thing was that all his liquor in the bar hadn’t been touched and that the liquor was very expensive, another player on the team blurts out well now you know it couldn’t of been indians and most of everyone started laughing, i don’t think they even noticed i was there. i went on to play for this team for a few years and everyone turned out to be good guys.
I am part Lakota. When God asked me what side of the blade are you on, I thought of iceskates and ice hockey and answered, in the side of the righteous, my words are my sword. I was born March 11th in Bethlehem. L'chaim
As hard as it is I find it quiet disgusting how there is uneducated racist people who think indigenous people are bad if you look back indigenous people greeted newcomers only for century of racism death and unjustice im pissed off how jealous people can turn a friendly guys world upside down just saying karma has a thing for payback to those racist immature people
I remembered that night ... There was no racism remarks... One person said looks somebody needs more training n shouldn't be playing like that... Im ndn n ndns dont know the diff. Between racism and stereo type...
When you're a shit player and you can't understand how you're shit so you say the people calling you a shit hockey player are racist cause it's easier that way.....
Us indigenous peoples should never have to put up with this racism we are warriors sent down we love and want peace but others don’t I love hockey because my Ojibwe people played for the boarding schools and it’s sad I am in tears seeing Ethan Bear getting hated one for being indigenous
Stop with the Trama crap.....being a 1st nation player blah blah ...NHL Is about talent an skill....if you got the goods ...you might make the big show.
lol he got racist comments online and got a 5 minute special forcefed down the throats of strangers minding their own business. i cant wait for society to stop revering "victims" and if being called something messed up online makes you a victim than every single person who has logged ln deserved the same attention
