This Is Our Story
This organization was formed to provide an organized sports league for Indigenous youth in Northwestern Ontario while bridging the gap between the ancestral practice of archery and our modern communities.
Founded by Harold J C Angeconeb, a North American Indigenous Games athlete and lifelong coach, his mission is to create the next generation of athletes that will help to spark the fire of health and wellness within his homeland regions while also reclaiming archery as an indigenous cultural tradition and practice.
