ABOUT THE GAMES

The Masters Indigenous Games (MIG) provides Indigenous adults, aged 20 years and older, the opportunity to compete against their peers in a variety of contemporary and traditional sporting activities. MIG is an opportunity to get physically active, engage with community and participate in competition. The Games bring together thousands of Indigenous athletes from around the world to compete in sport competitions, celebrate Indigenous wellness and showcase the rich diversity of cultures and traditions of the world’s Indigenous Peoples. 

 

In addition to the various sport competitions, the MIG provides participants and spectators the opportunity to celebrate and promote the various cultures of Indigenous peoples world-wide. A cultural festival (free and open to the public) showcasing Indigenous artists, performers, storytellers and vendors, in addition to interactive and immersive sport and cultural experiences, serves as an opportunity to create dialogue, promote greater understanding of the world’s Indigenous Peoples, and celebrate the power of sport and culture.
