More Native Athletes Needed At The Highest Levels!
We, at the Native Expressions blog, are not getting much feedback on the topics we bring up. So lets try something else...with Native athletes dominating the basketball courts & blazing trails to multiple cross-country titles across Montana and Wyoming, why do we not see more college Native athletes at the Division I or II levels? Indian Country in Montana, which is only about 6% of the Montana population has won roughly 36% of boys basketball championships since the 80s. What needs to be done to better the situation? How can we support our Native athletes better? Please share your thoughts...

Yes,I often wondered the same thing why so many of our talented athletes wind up as alcohol and drug statistics. My believe for this is so many of these young people come from dysfunctional families. They do not receive the nuturing support necessary from their families to use their talents given to them by The Creator to help themselves so they can help their People.
