Jogos dos Povos Indígenas
The Indian Games ( Portuguese Jogos dos Povos Indígenas ) are an initiative of the Comitê Intertribal (ITC) and with the support of the Brazilian Ministry of Sports, which took place annually in Brazil in 1996 for the first time and since 1999 , in which representatives of the country's indigenous peoples compete against each other in an Olympic style.
The Jogos were created on the initiative of the Indian leaders Marcos Terena and Carlos Terena, which were rejected until 1996. Only the newly appointed Brazilian Minister of Sport, Pelé, supported the previously unique large company, so that the Ministry of Sports also secured the financing.
