Young athletes from all 11 federally recognized tribes in Wisconsin are heading to Canada this weekend to compete in the North American Indigenous Games . The Forest County Potawatomi Community has a large contingent representing Team Wisconsin, with about a dozen athletes competing in volleyball, swimming, track and field, baseball and wrestling. 'It's so wonderful to be able to represent our tribe,' said Lucy Young, 14, who'll be playing volleyball for Team Wisconsin as a Potawatomi tribal member.
