SPORT MANITOBA
The Manitoba Aboriginal Sport & Recreation Council is recognized by Sport Manitoba as the bridge between the existing partners in the sport delivery system and Manitoba’s Aboriginal communities. Sport Manitoba works with the Council to research the barriers that prevent Aboriginal people’s participation in sport, develop a strategy to assist in reduction of barriers within the existing sport structures, work with PSO’s and Coaching Manitoba to provide educational and upgrading opportunities for Aboriginal coaches and officials and provide more accessible programs and opportunities for Aboriginal youth to participate in sport in Manitoba.
NORTH AMERICAN INDIGENOUS GAMES (NAIG) COUNCIL
The NAIG is the largest multi-sport and cultural event hosted in Canada and United States specifically targeted for Aboriginal/Native American populations. In Canada it is a fundamental component of the Aboriginal sport movement as it has effected positive change in the health and well being of Aboriginal peoples. The NAIG Council is the International Governing Body for the North American Indigenous Games. It ensures the purposes and philosophies are reflected in all aspects of the Games. The NAIG Council works in a manner, which is consistent with the cultural, spiritual and traditional values of the people it represents.
ABORIGINAL SPORT CIRCLE
The Aboriginal Sport Circle is Canada’s National Voice for Aboriginal sport. The Aboriginal Sport Circle brings together the interests of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. The ASC was established in 1995 in response to the need for more equitable accessible sport and recreational opportunities for Aboriginal peoples. The MASRC is one of 14 Provincial/Territorial Aboriginal Sport Bodies (P/T ASB), which represent the grassroots sport and recreation interests of Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
