On January 7 2022 for Friday Night Live at the Barclays Center, Patty Mills along with the Brooklyn Nets hosted Owl S.D. Smith, a local Ramapough Lenape Nation elder for a living land acknowledgement and Redhawk Native American Arts Council for a special cultural performance.

What an incredible 12 months for Patty Mills. Olympic flag bearer in Tokyo, the heart of the Boomers, and the leader of the Boomers culture, Mills was the driving force on and off the court behind the team's Tokyo bronze medal - a medal so sweet for Mills who had been agonisingly close at Olympic and World Cup level before. His personal performances went to a new level as 'Boomers Patty' was on display, and the joy and emotion after the bronze medal win over Slovenia was there for all to see.

The Australian Olympic Team will be represented by four-time Olympians Patty Mills and Cate Campbell at the Opening Ceremony. Mills will become the first Indigenous Australian to carry the flag into the Olympic Games.

Three-time Olympian, NBA Champion and proud Indigenous Australian Patty Mills announced today the formation of the Team Mills Foundation, a not for profit organisation dedicated to supporting and championing culture, diversity, women and underprivileged families and enacting positive change for the environment worldwide.
