The Skidegate Saints are more than a basketball team—they are champions carrying the pride and hopes of Haida Gwaii into each game. This season, however, brings challenges that could mark the end of their dynasty. As Desi, all star and dedicated community sports leader, Gaagwiis Jason Alsop, team captain and President of the Haida Nation, and Duane, father and underrated powerhouse, step onto the court, they face more than just athletic rivals. They juggle family responsibilities, political commitments, and the physical toll of age—all while striving to protect a legacy that has inspired their community.

The Saints’ journey reflects the larger Haida Nation, a people with an unbroken claim to sovereignty now seeking formal recognition from Canada. Will the Haida become the first Indigenous nation to gain true sovereignty? Can the Saints balance their personal and political responsibilities and still compete at the level they once did? And, as they fight to keep their dynasty alive, will age and responsibility prove too much to overcome?

Saints and Warriors is more than a sports documentary—it’s a story of pride, unity, and the unbreakable bonds of community. Through the Saints’ journey, this film captures a relatable and thrilling story of determination, with each game carrying the weight of their people’s history and hope. It’s a must-watch that brings audiences into the lives of those who continue to rise and lead, inspiring others to do the same.
