Lance Run
In the weeks leading up to the Opening Ceremonies of the Regina 2014 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) that was held on July 20, 2014, the Host Society began the ceremonial transfer of the Official Lance of Regina 2014 NAIG from Prince Albert to Regina, Saskatchewan. The purpose was to honour the traditional ceremonies and spirituality of the Games, as well as to increase awareness and excitement for the Games by having youth athletes embark on a cross-provincial journey – travelling through urban and rural – Indigenous and Non-Indigenous communities.
In an effort to increase the excitement of the Games, the Lance-Run was promoted throughout all the communities it travelled through, for a full list of dates, locations and events please see the schedule below:
