How Did It All Come About?

 President and CEO - Bobby Letterman (Cherokee)
 played for many years with the Provo Blazers an All Indian
 Basketball Team. In 1982 They organized the Provo Indian
 Athletic Association, which later became the Indian
 Basketball Association. The Goal was to have different
 sports available for Native Americans to show their skills
 and abilities; To be recognized like their Hero - Jim Thorp.
   Then in 1995 Bobby became the Softball State Director
 and was surprised when attending the National Convention
 that there was every type of Specialty World Series with the
 only exception being that there was not a Native American
 one. He Decided that there definitely needed to be one as
 he knew many excellent Native American ball players. So
 in 1995 He held the First Native American World Series.
   That First year there were only 4 Teams in attendance.
 And from there it grew, and grew, and has been enjoyed by
 many. But his goals are not over with yet as he would like
 to see all sports played and to celebrate the many talents
 of the Native American Athlete.
   Also after his 25th year involved in Native American
 Sports Bobby Letterman started the NISA HALL OF FAME to
 again recognize the excellence of many athletes involved in
 the true love of Sports.
