The Ancient History of Lacrosse
The modern sport of lacrosse is derived from a game created by the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) centuries ago. The game was not only a form of entertainment and physical conditioning, but also revered as a religious celebration. The Oneida Indian Nation is committed to preserving the history of lacrosse while also encouraging participation in the modern game by its young people. This video profiles Oneida Member Ron Patterson, a master craftsmen and teacher of the ancient tradition of lacrosse stick-carving.
