Oct 23, 2024 | 9:29 AM

Growing up around political and ceremonial leaders, Caige Starr had a path, charged with promise, set before him from an early age.

“He was always at his grandfather’s side,” said his mother, Tara Thompson.

“He was privy to conversations before he probably even knew what he was listening to.”

Caige,19, has begun his own path of leadership as the newly elected Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Youth Chief.
