Every player that steps on a field and grabs a sticks is part of something much bigger than themselves. It was great to work with @PLL to honor Indigenous Heritage weekend. So much fun and great energy, it’s hard to put it into words.

The Creators Game has given us all so much.

Indigenous Heritage Weekend was a special one 🧡

@rsgarnz earned some love from our friends at Lightning Stick society out of Lower Sioux Indian Community. Encouraging everyone to learn Dakota history and Dakota ball game. True warrior stuff.

Feeling the spirit here in Minnesota 🧡

After his five point performance, a fan gifted @rsgarnz50 a traditional wooden stick.

Proud to share the Creator’s Game.

“Representation of contemporary Native American was found to be almost completely absent from K-12 education, pop culture, news media, and politics….Only 13% of state history curriculum standards about Native Americans cover events after the year 1800.” 1/2

[TC Native Lacrosse @Tc_Native_Lax]

“…the project, ‘Reclaiming Native Truth’, released a groundbreaking report that reveals for the first time how the American public views Native Americans.”

Our boy @NPowless seen in the trailer for the new @netflix series “Tour de France.” Neilson (Oneida) was only 4 seconds off from leading the world’s toughest race and finished the 21-day race 13th overall, the top spot for an American rider.

@wlaxnut @laxmomproblems From our own perspective, the way that the game was a gift to us from higher powers to help us and how playing it reaffirms those connections….is what we dwell on more than how old the game is

[TC Native Lacrosse @Tc_Native_Lax]

@wlaxnut @laxmomproblems The image was painted in 1850, from sketch of game observed by US military officer Seth Eastman, a full 8 years before Minnesota became a state. European observations of the game in the upper Mississippi are at least 270 years old, easily predating the birth of the US.

We are so proud of all of the athletes who participated in the Junior Native Youth Olympics celebration!

For the first year, all eight elementary schools were represented, with 100 kids competing in traditional games like the two-foot high kick, seal hop and Inuit stick pull.

[TC Native Lacrosse @Tc_Native_Lax]

@rerunnat I went more negative ie. Fan dress/chants based in outdated and racist beliefs or tokenized References to Corporate charity work (surface level stuff vs true investment). I love competition and the game don’t get me wrong.

[TC Native Lacrosse @Tc_Native_Lax]

Very appropriate to have our friend Dr Lajimodiere speak to NLL on this topic. Anishinaabeg have played baaga’adowewin since the beginning of time and this Anishinaabekwe can shed important light into our complex history.

[Dr. Denise Lajimodiere @DLajimodiere]

Spoke about boarding schools on a National Lacrosse League webinar last night to a little over a hundred particpants. Also speaking was Ramona Klein, Samuel B Torres, Justin Gilbert, Commissioner Brett Frood, Teddy Jenner. Thank you Darren Sudman for the invitation. @NLL
