Rooted in Indigenous culture, tradition and ceremony, Rookie League is a true community-builder, bringing together Elders and youth and everyone in between to promote mental health, healing and reconciliation. Recognized by the Assembly of First Nations, the program has expanded into other treaty areas and our dream is the establishment of a National Indigenous Rookie League.\u201d<br \/><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0&#8211;\u00a0 \u00a0Chief Lorraine Cobiness, Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Rookie League program has had such a positive impact on kids in our community. We\u2019ve seen children gain confidence, develop leadership skills, feel a sense of belonging and take massive strides in reaching their potential through the program. Kids have also been able to build positive relationships with other kids and positive adults.
