A First For Indian Country
This golf tournament is a first of its kind, entirely funded and operated by Indian Nations (title sponsors include San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians of California and Oneida Indian Nation of New York) and will support Begay's mission of bringing Native American people together to benefit Indian youth. The NB3 Challenge further demonstrates how tribes are coming together to help improve the country's economy, create jobs and educate the nation’s first people. Additionally, the tournament allows tribes who have experienced economic prosperity with an opportunity to give back to their communities where help is needed most – among Native children growing up on reservations.

“As the Americans slaughter millions of turkeys every year for the celebration of their deliverance, the Indians, who should be celebrated as saviors, have long been slaughtered. There was even a time when a white man was paid a very decent price for every Indian scalp he could produce.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“I am willing to pledge myself that if the time should ever come that the voluntary agencies of the country together with the local and state governments are unable to find resources with which to prevent hunger and suffering ... I will ask the aid of every resource of the Federal Government.... I have the faith in the American people that such a day will not come.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
