Notah Begay III Deserves Praise!
Levi Rickert, editor-in-chief in Native Condition. Discussion »
Tomorrow's Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge on the Oneida Indian Reservation, near Vernon, New York, will generate between $400,000 and $500,000 for programs in Indian Country.
Notah Begay III - Navajo/San Felipe/Isleta Pueblo
Notah Begay III deserves praise for what he is doing. Too often the media love to publicize the negative side of professional sports figures and celebrities. Notah Begay III is both to Indian Country.
Notah Begay III is a sports figure.
A four-time PGA Tour winner, Begay became only the third player in the history of professional golf to shoot a 59 in a professional event at the 1998 NIKE Dominion Open. One of only three players in modern history to win two PGA TOUR events in each of his first two seasons on tour, he earned the opportunity to represent the United States in the 2000 President's Cup, where he paired with Tiger Woods and compiled a 3-2 record, helping the US team to victory.
Notah Begay III is a celebrity within Indian Country.
Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Notah Begay III is the only full-blooded American Indian, Navajo/San Felipe/Isleta Pueblo, on the PGA TOUR. He has become equally well known as a committed and innovative educator and advocate for American Indian youth. In a three-year study commissioned by The Institute for International Sport, Begay was named as one of the Top 100 Worldwide Sports Educators and also was recognized by "Golf Magazine" as Philanthropist of the Year as part of the publication's 2009 Golf Innovators Awards.
Additionally, Begay serves as a Nike7 ambassador, a program that the Nike company to bring sport and all of its benefits to the American Indian and Aboriginal communities in the United States and Canada.
The mission of the NB3 Foundation is reduce the incidences of obesity and type 2 diabetes and advance the lives of Native American youth through sports, wellness and leadership programming in the forms of soccer, golf and nutrition programs.
Begay walks his talk.
He is a strong advocate of doing something about obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Last week he told the Native News Network: "Diabetes is to Indian Country what AIDS is to Africa." He is determined to make a difference through his foundation.
To date, the following tribal communities have benefited from the NB3 Foundation:
- Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico Creation of walking paths and a parking lot for the San Felipe Soccer Field and Community Park
- Seneca Nation, New York Support for Native junior golf, health and leadership initiatives
- Coquille Indian Tribe, Oregon Support for the Tribe's Southwestern Oregon Youth Golf Clinic and Summer Camp that promotes healthy lifestyles and leadership development
- Hopi Tribe, Arizona Support to enhance the Hopi Youth Soccer League
- Longhouse Media, Washington Support the production of a diabetes prevention and health video directed by American Indian student filmmakers
- Native American Rehabilitation Association, Oregon Support for a Diabetes Prevention Back-to-School Picnic to promote healthy lifestyles to children and families
- Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin Support for the Oneida Family Fitness program to build leadership skills in American Indian youth through the game of golf and youth peer-mentoring activities in association with the Indigenous Games
- Picuris Pueblo, New Mexico Support "Introduction to Disc Golf" training event for tribal youth to promote physical activity and obesity and diabetes prevention
- Pueblo of Cochiti, New Mexico Support for The Cochiti Youth Golf Program that promotes healthy lifestyles and leadership development through the fundamentals of golf
- Working on Wellness (WOW), New Mexico Support access to programming for all Taos Pueblo youth to play and compete in the Taos Youth Soccer League
- Zuni Youth Enrichment Project, New Mexico Support for the XYEP Youth Soccer Program, making participation in organized soccer teams possible for Zuni children
- To'Hajiilee Community School, Navajo Nation, New Mexico Support for physical fitness, nutrition education and leadership development programming for the Middle and High School golf teams
- Standing Rock High School, Fort Yates, North Dakota Equipment and program support for the Standing Rock High School Girl's golf team
- Haskell Indian Nations University Men's Golf Program Apparel for men's golf team
- Keres Learning Center, Cochiti Pueblo, New Mexico General operating support for culturally-based youth programming
- San Felipe Education Program Support for awards and recognition of San Felipe High School graduates
Begay obviously had some great "home schooling" when it comes one basic American Indian principle that is passed down from generation to generation: You give back to community. The old joke is if you give an Indian a quarter, he / she will find five ways to split it up to help family and friends - sometimes to their own detriment. In Indian Country, it is about community.
Begay obviously has more than a quarter. What is nice about Begay is, he gets it!
