Empowered Youth Development Initiatives Presents....
 

Friday, June 6th and Saturday, June 7, 2025 

Oneida Hotel and Conference Center; Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA

The North American Indigenous Athletics Hall of Fame will recognize the 2025 inductee class as well as other annual inductees in an exclusive ceremony and lunch on Saturday, June 7, 2025.

 

There were 54 inductees and 300 guests at the first banquet on September 9, 2023 at the Canterbury Park Expo Center, Shakopee, MN, USA.

 

Last September 16,  2024 there were 55 inductees and 450 guests at the Oneida Hotel and Conference Center, Green Bay, WI, USA.

 

By honoring and celebrating the empowered journey of these individuals and teams, the hope is their stories may inspire future generations to follow their dreams in athletics.

 

Please join us in our efforts to honor and recognize the elite indigenous athletics leaders in North America by becoming a hall of fame, table or drawing sponsor for the 2025 North American Indigenous Athletics Hall of Fame Banquet.

 

All proceeds will offset the event expenses including providing gifts to the inductees.
