2023 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) will be held in Halifax, NS from July 15th - 23rd.
The vision of the NAIG is to improve the quality of life for Indigenous Peoples by supporting self-determined sports and cultural activities which encourage equal access to participation in the social / cultural / spiritual fabric of the community in which they reside and which respects Indigenous distinctiveness.
The 10th NAIG will host competitions in 16 sports within 21 venues across Halifax, Dartmouth, and Millbrook First Nation. It takes place July 15 - 23, 2023 and happens every 4 years.
NAIG 2023 will bring together more than 5,000 athletes, coaches, and team staff from 765+ Indigenous Nations celebrating, sharing, and reconnecting through sport and culture with the help of 3000 volunteers.
