2023 North American Indigenous Games

The 2023 North American Indigenous Games were held in Halifax, Nova Scotia from July 16 to 23. It featured 5000 athletes from 756 Indigenous nations competing in 16 sports across 21 venues, who also shared and celebrated their cultures.

Bidding process
Halifax, also known for the games by its Mi’kmaq name, K'jipuktuk, won the initial 2020 North American Indigenous Games bidding process in 2018. This made it the first city in Atlantic Canada to host the games. They were postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, then rescheduled for 2023.

Funding
The Government of Canada provided $8.363 million in funding through various departmental streams. The Government of Nova Scotia announced a $3.5 million package when Halifax won the bid in 2018.

Broadcasting
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation streamed coverage of the games on its CBC Gem app throughout the week.
