Former NAIG Athlete now Head Coach for Team SK Lacrosse

Keenan Cummings, who played lacrosse for Team Saskatchewan at the NAIG in Denver 2006, is detailed in this article about his transition into coaching lacrosse for them at the Regina NAIG in 2014. He speaks about his coaching at NAIG being the highest level of certification at that point, as well as his methods which use the medicine wheel philosophy of a holistic four-section model. Keenan focuses on the physical, mental, emotional, and cultural well-being of his players and how it will translate into the overall experience of being at the Games for them. He also shares that lacrosse has been a healthy outlet for him, and that he was actually the only Indigenous lacrosse coach at that year's Games.
