Na7ive Na7ions At the Babe Ruth World Series

From historic firsts to national momentum—this is the beginning of something bigger than baseball.

History Made. Futures in Motion.

In August 2025, Team Na7ive Na7ions became the first-ever all-Native team to compete on the national Babe Ruth World Series stage.

Over 15 athletes representing tribal nations across the U.S. suited up not just to play—but to show up for their communities, culture, and future generations.

They held their own against powerhouse programs from across the globe. They carried the weight of history—and the hope of what’s possible next.

This Was More Than a Tournament

This was a movement in the making.

Athletes trained with sport psychologists, nutrition coaches, and mentors who looked like them. They told their stories, learned to lead, and showed the world that Indigenous youth belong on every field.

6 games. Countless lessons. And a moment that can’t be undone.
