“Physical Activity has the ability to empower, motivate and inspire and plays an important role in supporting the development of healthy, confident and resilient First Nations children, families and communities...
…Our Elders remind us about our teachings and values which help us understand the importance of being strong in mind, spirit and body. Discipline, hard-work, and inner strength continue to be highly valued personal characteristics in our communities and our Nations.
Physical Activity is an act of Nation-building. The fierce rivalries that arise between Nations in Basketball, Lahal, Soccer, Lacrosse, Canoe Pulling and in many other competitive activities are a source of Nation Pride. We show up, we wear our colours and we either soar with victory or are crushed by defeat. Nations continue to build upon their reputations of excellence, these Nations are feared and admired, and their children are supported to continue the tradition.”
-from the Introduction of “Active Spirit Active History – A culture of sports, activity and well-being among BC First Nations” Dr. Rosalin Hanna, First Nations Health Council. Vancouver BC 2010.
