As part of the club's celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day, whitecapsfc.com caught up with Terry Felix, who broke ground in 1983 when he became the first Indigenous person to play professional soccer in North America when he joined the Vancouver Whitecaps.
A member of the Sts'Ailes, Felix currently resides in the Coast Salish First Nation community on the west bank of the Harrison River between Mission and Harrison Hot Springs.
He talks about his Whitecaps days, the active role he plays in his community and his family today, and a lesson each Canadian must remind themselves as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day this weekend.
