The Aboriginal Sport Circle is Canada's national voice for Indigenous sport, which brings together the interests of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit. Established in 1995, the Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) was created through a national consensus-building process, in response to the need for more accessible and equitable sport and recreation opportunities for Indigenous peoples.

The ASC is comprised of 13 members called the Provincial/Territorial Aboriginal Sport Bodies (P/TASB) including the Manitoba Aboriginal Sports & Recreation Council.

The North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) is the largest multi-sport and cultural event hosted in Canada and the United States specifically targeted for Indigenous/Native American populations.

In Canada it is a fundamental component of the Indigenous sport movement as it has effected positive change in the health and well being of Indigenous peoples. The NAIG Council is the International Governing Body for the North American Indigenous Games. It ensures the purposes and philosophies are reflected in all aspects of the Games. The NAIG Council works in a manner which is consistent with the cultural, spiritual and traditional values of the people it represents.

The MASRC manages and administers Team Manitoba for these Games. Click here to learn more about Team Manitoba.
