Waneek Horn-Miller (born November 30, 1975) is a Canadian former water polo player from the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory.[1] She was a member of the Canadian women's water polo team that won a gold medal at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg.[2] Horn-Miller also became the first Mohawk woman from Canada to ever compete in the Olympic games.[3] In 2019, she was awarded the Order of Sport, marking her induction into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in the athlete category.[4]
As a teenager, Horn-Miller became an iconic figure in First Nations issues in Canada when, at the end of the 78-day siege at the heart of the Oka Crisis, she was bayonetted by a Canadian soldier.[5]
