Native American youth have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, alcoholism and suicide than any other ethnic group in the United States. They are not receiving the appropriate nutrition or time for physical activity, which is leading to an unhealthy lifestyle well into adulthood. Previous studies have shown that participation in sport can help alleviate many of the aforementioned problems currently ailing Native American youth, but none have been conducted on this specific ethnic group. The purpose of this study was to identify factors and cultural influences on Native American youth participation in sport. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the sport participation levels classified by tribe, age, and gender, and cultural expectations and beliefs concerning sport.
