The first Mohawk woman from Canada to compete in the Olympic games, Horn-Miller has used her passion and experiences in sport to influence Indigenous and non-Indigenous leadership towards making sport and wellness community priorities.
As an Olympian and advocate, Horn-Miller has learned to straddle the two roles of Indigenous advocacy in the non-Indigenous world, as well as taking on human rights issues within her community. As part of the SAR keynote, she will share lessons and insights from this journey.
