Abstract
Two sections from this policy, published in 2005, are relevant to the NAIG and Indigenous sport in general; the first starting in the first section titled "Context" with the subheading "1.4 Sport and Aboriginal Peoples" and continuing to the end of the section. This portion relates to the vitality of sport and recreational activities to the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada from pre-contact to modern times. The second section relates to the North American Indigenous Games themselves by briefly going over the history through various organizations like the Aboriginal Sport Circle and policy changes such as 'The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples' recommendations from their multi-volume report.
