STORIES / Okara’shòn:’a
Fluttering yellow tape
It was the spirit of the wind, sending me a message: “It’s time. You need to take those steps, and you need to move forward.” Not just moving forward on this bridge but truly moving forward on my path.
Playing sports
I played all kinds of sports growing up and excelled in most of them, especially softball and football. Eventually, I began coaching men's and women's softball here in The Pines. In the 70s and 80s, we played a lot of softball games against different communities, like Kahnawà:ke.
Fan for life

Triple play
When they put the ballfield where it is now - next to the Kateri hospital - the patients would come there and watch. I played the outfield, I played shortstop, and I played third base. I even pulled a triple play.
