Big Grassy honours Leland Indian

By Joey Payeur, FF Times
By all accounts, Leland Indian’s life revolved around two things: looking after others and making the fastball diamond his second home.
From now on at the place he cherished and was in turn revered in himself, he will do exactly that in spirit.
A giant of a man in the way he lived his life, Indian’s presence will stand tall for as long as the ballpark on Big Grassy First Nation exists after the diamond was named in his honour this past Friday.
Leland Indian Ball Park was officially christened with the raising of the sign which bears his likeness in front of assembled family members and friends in advance of the second-annual Leland Indian Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament.
