- Abstract
The 1970s could be considered a "golden age" for Native sport in Canada. During this decade, federal bureaucrats and politicians demonstrated a commitment to Native sport through the funding of various projects. The Native Sport and Recreation Program was central to this era; through it, Native organizers across the country were able to work towards their own vision of sport. Over the nine years of this program. Native organizers at times resisted, as well as reproduced, the primarily Euro-Canadian vision within which this program was conceived and administered. An examination of the program's history provides interesting insights into possibilities for Native sport, as well as shifting perceptions about Native sport and recreation within the federal government.
