2002 North American Indigenous Games
For thousands of years, Aboriginal people have held games
across North America. Historical records show many modern sports were derived
from traditional indigenous games. What is not well known, is that these early
games taught personal and social values and traditional ceremonies; the
curriculum for their way of life. Today’s modern games continues the practice
of teaching each generation the values and qualities so important for meeting
the responsibilities of adulthood. July 25–August 4, Winnipeg will host the
2002 North American Indigenous Games; an Aboriginal multi-sport and cultural
celebration anticipated to be the largest gathering of its kind in Canadian
history. Sixteen different sports, three traditional Aboriginal and 13
non-traditional, will draw up to 7,000 First Nation, Métis, Inuit and Native
American participants ranging in age from 13 years to adult and including
participants with disabilities. Up to 3,000 cultural performers will entertain
and educate throughout the games. To learn more about the games, to volunteer
or to catch the wave of activity building around the games, call the Games
Host Society at 927-2002 or visit the Game’s website at
