EDITOR’S WELCOME
F
or the first time ever, we present
to you, the Sports’ issue.
To narrow down our focus
on outstanding Natives in sports
such as boxers Kali “KO” Reis and Derek Hinkey, and the ladies of Haskell
University, we decided to leave out all
of the typical sections; style, art, etc.
(With an exception to “Spring Breeze”, a
spring fashion editorial by our talented
photographer Ryan Young, because we
need some sort of fashion!)
This is a first in Native Max history,
but these talented athletes deserve
the spotlight! Reis traveled to Bermuda and brought back a championship
along with the spirit of her people once
held captive. Hinkey is a true warrior
who’s making a statement in the world
of boxing. And last but not least – the
unstoppable Lady Indians. Exceeding
expectations and limits, Jenine Coriz
and the rest of the team are dominating the courts and proving that strong
hearts and spirits should never be
underestimated.
As always, enjoy!
