Naomi Plant was a proud Anishnabekwe from Wiikwemikoong Unceded Territory. In 2016 she played for the first ever U-19 Indigenous British Columbia (BC) female box lacrosse team and the team earned a bronze medal at the 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG). She played on the Storm Select Society All Native team in 2018, won the silver medal in Six Nations, and placed third in the 2022 inaugural Women’s Box Lacrosse Tournament in San Jose.

Naomi played for the Aquinas College (MI) women's lacrosse team from 2020-2022. Her best season was in 2021 when she scored 15 goals and 16 assists over 10 games. In total, Plant scored 26 times and assisted 23 more over 29 games. She accumulated 29 ground balls, nine caused turnovers, and 28 draw controls.

Naomi played for Arlee High School (MT), was a captain in 2015 and received team awards each year, and she helped her team win three state championships. She was also awarded at State finals the all-star girl’s lacrosse team award three times. Naomi also played on the Flathead Indian Reservation 10 Sticks Lacrosse High School Boys’ Varsity Team.

Naomi had an underlying drive to help Indigenous youth through sports. Having relatives throughout Turtle Island, she helped with numerous box lacrosse camps for female players in British Columbia, driving long hours to attend. This helped increase knowledge of the game and female participation in BC’s interior. She also ran camps on her home reservation in Arlee, Montana. This was her way of giving back to the sport and inspiring the next generation of male and female players.

Her passion for sharing her knowledge of traditional sports wasn’t just refined to the Medicine Game, but also her passion for native games. She would teach these at several schools, cultural venues and community events. Some of these events and programs included Salish Cultural Camps, Patty and Willie Steven’s youth camp, Arlee School Native American Heritage Days, St. Ignatius Native American Heritage Days, Salish Institute lacrosse nights, and locally in her community.
