The North American Indigenous Games have become the foundation to what is now considered a legacy of sporting excellence, and personal development for all indigenous participants, but more importantly for the youth. The active participation in sporting and cultural events provides the Aboriginal youth of today an opportunity to showcase their talents to their community and the community at large. Participation in sports reflects the pursuit of excellence, fairness and ethics, inclusion and participation. These values are what will make our youth better leaders for tomorrow and will help them to maintain the rich history and cultural traditions of our people. Our youth, with our encouragement and support, will continue to stand strong, brave and true. Francis Flett Grand Chief |
