Women’s lacrosse NAIG inclusion ‘amazing’ for Sask. teen
Saskatchewan girls made history at the 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) as they were among the first to compete in the new 19 and under women’s Box Lacrosse category.
“It means everything to say that. Not many people can say that you’ve been a part of something like that and making history,” said 15-year-old Annakah Ratt from Prince Albert.
The ninth annual NAIG was held in Toronto from July 16-23, 2017.
The teen has been playing lacrosse for the past two years. She said she got into the sport after watching her two younger brothers compete, and now the game has become a daily part of life.
