They say baseball is just a sport, but for us, it’s a story. A story of heritage, resilience, and hope. On this Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the generations whose strength built the path we walk today. At Na7ive Na7ions, we’re dedicated to empowering Native youth, helping them rise in sports and in life while staying connected to the culture that grounds us. To every young athlete stepping up to the plate: your story matters. To every elder, family, and community: your wisdom lights the way. Together, we celebrate where we come from and the bright future we’re building. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousExcellence #Na7iveNa7ions #Culturethroughsport #RootedinCulture

During the 2025 Cal Ripken Major/70 World Series in Branson, Missouri, Na7ive Na7ions was honored with a special invitation to participate and open the ceremony on Osage land. DJ Carrasco, founder of Native Nations Baseball and former MLB ambassador, shares how this movement began, why cultural representation in sports matters, and what’s next for Native athletes on the national stage.

The first-ever Na7ive Na7ions Tournament brought tribal teams together and World Series legend Luis Gonzalez had some advice for the next generation. This is more than just a ball game, it is a way to foster growth in the community, providing ways for the kids and their families to have fun, and be who they are. #Na7iveNa7ions #YouthSports #Baseball #tribalnationsports #nativetwitter Watch the full segment: youtube.com/watch?v=2UkOaO…

How many mistakes does it take before you spiral? Learn how to stay focused, manage emotions, and stay on task, no matter what’s happening in the game. Week one brought the kind of coaching you can’t find in a playbook. Dr. Alley Dake, a mental performance coach who works with pro athletes, stepped onto our field to help our players level up their brain game. She’s volunteering her time to show our athletes that leadership, focus, and resilience start long before the first pitch ,and last long after the game ends. #indigenousexcellence #na7ivena7ions #tribalnationsports #indigenousathletes #nativeathlete #mentalperformance

Honored to welcome David Z. Bean, former Chairman of the Puyallup Tribe and Vice Chair of the Indian Gaming Association, to the field in Branson.

Grateful he took the time to stand with our team on this journey, lifting up the next generation of leaders through sport and community.  #indigenousexcellence #tribalnationsports #na7ivena7ions #triballeaders #meettheboard #nativeleaders #nativeathletes
