The Atlanta Braves honor, respect, and value the Native American community. The culture and history of Native Americans have a monumental impact not just on the Atlanta Braves, but our state, region, and the entire country.
The Braves organization has built an active and supportive partnership with Native American leaders and communities in our region. Through these relationships, our organization has gained valuable insight and supports efforts to increase awareness of Native American culture and history.
As an organization, the Atlanta Braves are committed to:
A formal Native American Working Group has been created with various national leaders to collaborate on culture, history, education, outreach and recognition. Their guidance and advice on our relationship, interaction, and communication with Native American tribes and leaders has been invaluable to our organization.
The Atlanta Braves and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians established their long-lasting partnership in 2000. As part of that relationship, the Atlanta Braves have partnered with the EBCI’s Atlanta Braves Cultural Committee on programs and events designed to educate and showcase their culture to our fans, as well as provide support to key EBCI initiatives.
We collaborate closely with the Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns to help protect Native American history and support economic development efforts within the Georgian Indian communities.
In partnership with members of the Native American community, the Braves have developed initiatives throughout our region that highlight the enduring vibrancy, historical, contemporary relevance, and ongoing contribution of our Native American brothers and sisters.
