North Dakota & upper Midwest Sioux have an athletic legacy
Throughout North Dakota and the upper Midwest, the Sioux way of life has been greatly impacted by sports.
For the Sioux, games were a spiritual tradition that was woven into the fabric of their heritage. The Sioux Mask of Honor Icon represents much more than a game played with a mask and sticks. Games was considered to be a gift from the Creator. A gift that was played for the Creator’s enjoyment and to heal and restore harmony to the people and the Natural World.
