Different stages.
One driving force.

Each summer, Native Legends brings athletes, families, and communities together for competition in seven sports. At the heart of the event is our annual honoree, a Native Legend whose impact reaches far beyond the playing field. Honorees may come from medicine, education, military service, the arts, tribal leadership, law, science, business, or any path where they have made a lasting difference. They are the healers, teachers, warriors, artists, and trailblazers who opened doors for others.

Each year's games are played in that Legend's honor, so every athlete who competes carries their story forward. By pairing sport with the recognition of a remarkable life, Native Legends shows young people the many ways they can lead, serve, and inspire.
