Carleton Alumna Waneek Horn-Miller Speaks to CBC About the Power of Sport
Carleton University alumna, former Ravens water polo star, and Canada Sports Hall of Famer Waneek Horn-Miller spoke to the CBC’s Beyond the Win about her experiences during the 1990 Oka Crisis.
Horn-Miller, a Mohawk of Kahnawake, was seriously injured during the conflict after being stabbed by a bayonet. In this interview, she spoke about the power of sport, how it helped her recover from her injuries, and how it can play a role in Canada’s reconciliation efforts with Indigenous communities.
“Sport had played such a huge part in my life,” said Horn-Miller.
“On a personal level…it has helped me get through some of the hardest points.”
