Abstract
An article detailing the achievements of Team Saskatchewan's soccer teams at the 2017 NAIG in Toronto. Notable people mentioned include Kelly Villeneuve, executive director at Battlefords Youth Soccer, Inc. and alumni of NAIG Team Sask as a soccer player. He speaks about the lack of funding from government in the earlier Games and the noticeable difference in the more recent Games, as well as the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions' Calls to Action being a huge contributor to that boost in funds. The article also mentions Team BCs overall success in soccer, and how Team Sask was the only one at that Games to come close to them. Villeneuve also mentions how the Games are not just about the competition but foster a sense of well-being in Indigenous communities.
