ASRCNL will make final decisions regarding which sport teams will be included in the Team Indigenous NL contingent and where ID/selection camps will be held. Expressions of Interest received by Dec. 15 will help guide these decisions. Athletes can only participate in one sport at the NAIG but can try out for more than one sport.
Athlete costs will be determined and a later date and may be subsidized from funding support provided by Provincial Government partnerships, Aboriginal Governments, First Nation Councils and/or corporate sponsorship or other sponsors.
ASRCNL will endeavor to reduce individual costs by as much as possible however all applicants who participate in the tryout process will be expected to cover a portion of associated costs.
If self identified indigenous athletes are not a recognized member of any of the Indigenous Nations/Governments, an approved Declaration of Indigenous Ancestry is required, however they would be ineligible for funding support from Aboriginal Governments/First Nation Councils.
