Abstract
This is a longer video which focuses on the 1993 Games held in Prince Albert. It goes into depth on the various aspects of Indigeneity which can be elevated through sport and friendly competition. We are introduced to many people from the Games that year, including Eugene Arcand who helped to form the NAIG council following those Games, as well as some of the youth athletes who explain where they are from and why they feel pride competing for their home nations. We are also shown the various cultural showcases from various nations, mainly the West Coast nations and the Plains nations. Indigenous artists also are shown having the chance to stimulate their own economy with the influx of people in the city. It is said that there was much learning of the various Indigenous cultures that were in the city at that time, and many shots of the areas around Carlton and other schools in which competitions were held. Eugene speaks about the remarkable success of the Games and how we owe it to the youth to continue to improve on that, as has been seen in the years following those Games.
