Indigenous Sports
Indigenous sports refer to traditional games and physical activities practiced by Indigenous peoples around the world. These sports often hold cultural significance and are tied to the community's history, values, and identity. Examples include Lacrosse among Native American tribes and Māori games like Ki-o-rahi in New Zealand.
Many Indigenous sports emphasize teamwork, skill, and connection to the land. They serve as a way to preserve cultural heritage and promote community engagement. Events like the World Indigenous Games celebrate these traditions, allowing Indigenous athletes to showcase their talents and share their cultural stories with a broader audience.
