"When I was younger I cared about being the center of attention, being up on stage and in the spotlight. And as I've gotten older and become a Mom I've realized that actually listening, having the ability to uplift those around you by giving them a microphone that lifts up every single song in your community, that's what's so important."

Former pro basketball player Michael Linklater, Nehiyaw (Cree) descending from the Thunderchild First Nation, is an inspiration for future Indigenous athletes like him. Read More
Believing that he would become a pro basketball player wasn't something the outside world always validated. But his belief and willingness to stay in the gym went hand-in-hand in accomplishing his goals of playing at the post-secondary level and eventually as a professional.

"I think it's become cliché term where if we can believe, we can achieve. But it really is important that this next generation coming up has a lot of role models ahead of them that have demonstrated to them that it's possible. We have so many players in the NBA who are of Indigenous descent, players playing professionally and in the post-secondary level. So it's going to be most important for the next generation to believe in themselves." Show Less
