Celebrating 43 years of First Nation Culture and Sport
Since 1974, Native athletes across Canada have been competing in a national softball competition called the, “Canadian Native Fastball Championships.” This event has become one of Canada’s most prestigious sporting events in Native communities attracting 1100 athletes and approximately 5,000 visitors annually. The games are funded entirely by First Nation communities and organizations. Each year, the games are moved from Province to Province.
During the tournament, the Canadian Native Fastball Association (CNFA), a non-profit group comprised of First Nation representatives across Canada: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, collectively determines which Native communities or organization will host the games in the following year.
The following is a list of the CNFA:
