Just a reminder to everyone in Laxgalts'ap that the Village Government Office will be closed on Friday November 11, 2017 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm for Remembrance Day. Take the time to reflect on all the Nisga'a Rangers that assisted in the protection of Canada's Pacific Northwest coast during the second world war. Honour our veterans of the modern conflicts, and take the time to thank their families for the sacrifice for our freedom today. Lets begin to encourage more of our young people to stand and honour the Aboriginal Veterans across Canada, especially in our community's.

I want to be the best Basketball is in Innes' blood. She's the second oldest of five children in her family. Her siblings play basketball, as did her parents. She often trains with her mother and younger sister and her older sister is also on her tribal team.... Innes was first exposed to basketball in elementary school. She was considered too young to play on her older sister's Indigenous team, but that lit a fire in her. Kristy Innes basketball 2 Greenville Timberwolves Kristy Innes (wearing white and black) defends Hesquiaht Storm's guard Memphis Dick's shot in the girls division semi-final at the 2017 BC Junior All Native in March. (Wawmeesh G. Hamilton) Her uncle Gerald taught her the game's fundamentals and she practiced until she was good enough to join the team. "I wanted to do this. I wanted to be better and I wanted to play with them," she said. "But I also knew I wanted to be the best." Today, she plays for the Charles Hays Secondary School junior girls team, the Rainmakers, in Prince Rupert, B.C. She also played for her First Nation team, the Timberwolves, who are this year's B.C. Junior All Native girls champions. Innes won the tournament MVP award, which was significant considering she is three years younger than her 17-year-old competitors. In June, she will join nine other teammates from First Nations across B.C., including some she competed against and beat, as a member of the Team B.C. U16 girls team going to to the Indigenous Games. This will be Innes' first time playing at the Games. She's eager to face players from other teams who, like her, are the best of the best in their regions. But going to Toronto also gives her a rare chance to travel. "I've never travelled out of B.C. before. I've never been to Toronto before. Basketball is pretty much the only way I get to travel," said Innes, whose grandmother is accompanying her to Toronto. The Indigenous Games gave Innes a goal to work toward. Now, she sees something else on the horizon - collegiate basketball. "I haven't figured out what I want to study for yet. When I figure out what it is that I want to do in college then I'll think more about college ball." Tribal pride
