At least two Indigenous players are set to take the field in America’s biggest game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the Kansas City NFL team will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII Feb. 11.

Both play on the Kansas City offensive line and are back to defend last year’s Super Bowl championships in center Creed Humphrey, Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and long snapper James Winchester, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Kansas City is a team on a dynastic run appearing in its fourth championship game in five seasons.

Kansas City took home the title in 2023 and is looking to be the first team since the 2003-04 New England Patriots to win back-to-back titles.

“It represents something bigger than myself. It represents the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and so many back home with my family and friends that I love and appreciate,” Winchester told ICT in 2023. “It’s such a cool thing to represent a nation and my family, so that’s probably what means the most to me to play in the Super Bowl.”
