I could rent a community hall for 700$ for a day, drinks food and parking places like 1000$ tops. And a whole week nothing over 7000$. Who the fuck is in charge really? 250.000$ for a week!? They must be flying people over in 1st class and putting them in Hiltons and Hummer limousines.

You guys should take a look at N.A.B.I .. Native American Basketball Invitational an annual basketball tournament for the youth native american basketball players takes place in Arizona.

It's hilarious that the All-Native basketball tournament is an event where the organizers are embezzling sponsorship dollars which come from LNG companies. Also, is this Peter Haugen guy even Native?

$250k cost to run the tournament? Multiple sponsorships including LNG yet the tounament is held in an average gymnasium ... hmmm ... I smell something fishy ... and it aint the local tuna!

Ball is life. This is dope.

........Smoke good lol

Check the books, for as long as that directors been working. Does it add up? Dude's got some greasy palms, either from your books or the big boy's with those tankers. Either way, gotta get that guy outta there.

what was the outcome of the Canadian government on LNG?

why do you have to blur out the game if it's being broadcast on TV?

NO LNG

Rez ball... Damn I wish I could go to this. I'm from Northern Alberta. Nothing like this over here.. just small tournaments. Played through out high-school. Even got scouted for UofA. I wanna be a part of something like this. I've always been one for positive sport competition between our people. If u knew me.. you'd know. I love ball.

Oh,basketball is a very popular sport here in brazil also,a sport based in the mesoamerican sport called tlachtl,the mayan ball,for those who dont know yet.

thank you for the coverage appreciate it

Do one of LNI

Hope this story gets big

Is the director First Nations?

“Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (Vice) (Truth) >-< (Vice) • “Respect and dignity, 2019?”

Still I was there!

together as one

from a journalistic/news point of view i was really disappointed. this started out w/ so much promise but ended so horribly. how are you not going to have any video footage of the tournament for the 2nd half of the video, or any interviews w/ Indigenous people at the tournament about LNG? *YES*, i saw the part around @9:00 & @10:30 where the tournament directors tell you no more video/interviews about *LNG*/*politics* at the tournament; *however* there are 100s of ways around that, including (but not limited too) : *1*. *guerilla journalism* (ever heard of it?) *2*. *undercover journalism* (ever heard of it?) *3*. *hidden cameras* (ever heard of it?) *4*. just hand your cameras off too people on the team (or other Indigenous people at the tournament) & have them record for you. you could even print out questions that they could read off & ask people in attendance. *5*. you could've even still stayed & recorded (discretely) under the guise that you've changed your original story idea & are now just focusing strictly on basketball & how it's bringing people together. at the very least it would've given you more/better footage. watching video of you watching video of a blurred out game is beyond stupid. don't call yourself a journalist if you can't figure out these basics of getting an important story out too the rest of the world.

It's happening right now in 2019 my two older sisters are playing my mom quite because of two sisters they told her she wasn't good enough

i live on Haida Gwaii

The amount of gas huffed at this event must of been huge

Just all my cuzzins

Damn do Marshallese mayday basketball in Oregon or Arkansas

thank you for using a song I wrote.

No matter where you live

All native tournament is for everyone to go watch the basketball games and you people wanna know why it so much money its because they have to pay for 2 gyms and get all the food and drinks for a week and a lot of people love to go watch basketball games for week and go meet the basketball players. Me and my family love watching the basketball games ❤ and I know lots of people love all native tournament too. Don't get butt hurt 😐 and sorry about my rant but some people needed to know about this

like NABI

Im in this video without my consent consider yourseld sued

Not true native American , you want to see "Rez Ball". You go and see the Southwest, Apaches, Navajos, Hopis, Pubelos, and more.

Basketball was invented by the mayans a version of basketball soccer

Some of these player's look white

can nobody dunk?

vice reporter had a clear liberal sympathetic agenda to the no-lng natives from the start. Ironic how at about 11:19 team captain says they came to just "play basketball", disregarding politics- lol, your the one team in the entire tourney who made this a political farce in the first place and make up over 80% of the footage in this biased documentary. Whether you support either side is irrelevant, but misinformation and biased ass reporting doesn't endorse or promote awareness or understanding of the matter. Hopefully others come in with an open and critical mind to this entire matter.

Touching homage watching natives get drunk at the end of it all...

This was pointless LNG was approved good by seafood good by land

Theirs more to life than sports on the rez any rez come on now

Praticaly it has just white guys in this vid, those days praticaly any single one can say who has some nativeamerican decendence.here in brazil,we are a mixblooded people,one in each three brazilians has some kind of indigenous decendence,n im so proud of my mixblooded heritage.

it's all about money and who wants it.hows that capitalism working out for you?

Saints lost lol

this is cute, vice, but who cares?
