Native All-American football game returns to Minneapolis in December
The Native All-American football game will return to U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Dec. 14, according to ICT. The event, featuring Indigenous high school football players from across the country, marks the fourth year of partnership between the National Football League and the Native American Athletic Foundation.
Executive Director Michael Stopp said the foundation aims to use sports to develop future leaders in Indian Country and will also host a flag football clinic for Native girls on Dec. 13. Brett Taber, Minnesota Vikings vice president of social impact, said the team values its partnership with Native communities in Minnesota and surrounding states. Former NFL players Ahman Green and Levi Horn will serve as head coaches, and Randy Fine will act as athletic director.
