Answer 1

The initiative to build skateparks in the Indian reserves aims to introduce sports practice in the reserve, creating healthy habits and providing the possibility for young people to participate in a recreational, attractive, fun activity that promotes social and individual well-being.

In addition, the initiative seeks to promote the growth of indigenous leaders in this sports field, bringing diversity and inclusion to the sport and promoting a career option for the indigenous people, who are exposed to few sports and professional resources.
