Skye Anderson Competes for Ontario at Indigenous Games
Skye Anderson earned a spot to represent Ontario in the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in volleyball, for the Cowichan 2008 Games which was held in the Cowichan Valley, B.C., from August 3-10.
Before the competition she expressed her apprehensions. “I’m really nervous,” said the 17-year-old Alderville teen. “I don’t really know what to expect.”Her goal was “to have fun playing volleyball against teams in the NAIG”.
The NAIG is the largest of its kind in North America. Ms. Anderson was one of 5,000 junior athletes participating in the 16 contemporary and traditional sporting events. There were 13 Canadian provincial and territorial teams and over 20 state teams from the U.S.
Her Ontario team won a silver medal losing three closely contested games against a stronger Saskatchewan team (23-25 21-25 23-25).
