Looking at the Arctic Winter Games and the North American Indigenous Games territorial selection process, the North American Indigenous Games are not getting the same treatment when it comes to funding from the department. Even when they asked for $200,000 for the upcoming process, the department has cut it back to $125,000. Compared to the amount that the Arctic Winter Games got of just over $364,000, why are we not treating them similarly, especially since NAIG process is one helping the small community athletes get a chance to participate at an international event?
