Faith Cameron sits at the end of the dugout bench at one of the Kenora Recreation Centre's baseball diamonds, clipboard in-hand, as she calls out the names of the next three batters due up.
Cameron, an 18-year-old from Wabaseemoong First Nation in northwestern Ontario — also known as Whitedog — has only been playing softball for a couple of years, but she's in Kenora on an early September day, playing for, and helping coach, the Whitedog Thunderhawks. The team plays in the KCA Jays Care Rookie League, a two-month-long summer slow-pitch softball circuit featuring squads from eight First Nations in Treaty 3 territory.
