NABI

The Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI) is the largest all-Native American high school basketball tournament in the country, empowering Indigenous youth through sports, education, and community engagement.

Founded in 2003, NABI provides a platform for Indigenous athletes to showcase their talents while proudly representing their culture. This week-long event has grown into a movement supporting Indigenous youth on and off the court, fostering leadership, teamwork, and opportunities.
