Daniel Stonechild is the founder of FN Basketball Inc., an educator, coach, and former college athlete who played basketball at Briercrest College. With over 14 years of coaching experience, he is dedicated to providing Indigenous youth with elite basketball training while integrating cultural teachings that foster leadership, resilience, and personal growth.
Growing up in North Central Regina, Daniel saw the challenges Indigenous youth face in accessing sports and mentorship. This inspired him to create FN Basketball, a program that blends high-performance training with cultural education, including Cree language teachings, pipe ceremonies, and mentorship from Indigenous elders. His leadership has expanded FN Basketball into a mobile program that reaches both urban and reserve communities, empowering the next generation of Indigenous athletes on and off the court.
