Chiefs and Champions - Roger Adolph (excerpt)

Roger Adolph got into a fight playing basketball at the Kamloops Indian Residential School . If you want to fight, he was told, get in the ring. Roger did, but the coach told him that he didn t quite have what it takes. Those words empowered him even more to succeed. He won the Golden Gloves in 1964, 1965, and 1966, in Tacoma, Portland , and Seattle then turned pro. After two and a half years in England , Roger ended his professional boxing career and returned home. A member of the St at imic Nation, from the Xaxli p reserve, near Lillooet , B.C., Chief Roger Adolph has served his community for more almost 20 years.
