## Resource

Navajo youth are reigniting their love for basketball thanks to a free camp led by pro player Analyss Benally, with former Laker Andre Ingram lending his expertise to teach fundamentals to seventy kids in Shiprock. This resurgence, sparked by the movie Rez Ball, is helping kids like 13-year-old Orion Toledo Jr. and 14-year-old Shaundiinae Benally chase big dreams — even NBA glory — while reconnecting with a sport deeply rooted in their culture. Despite pandemic setbacks and modern distractions, coaches are rebuilding through role models like Benally, who’s not just teaching skills but inspiring confidence, community, and the belief that with dedication, anything is possible.
