Native Americans began playing lacrosse as a spiritual and social activity more than 1,000 years ago. Their lacrosse sticks were made of wood and had sacred meaning. But many Indigenous stick artisans went out of business when plastic and aluminum replaced wood in the 1970s. Alfie Jacques, however, managed to stay afloat. He's crafted more than 80,000 sticks by hand, and he's one of the last people who knows how to make them this way. He is Onondaga, one of the Haudenosaunee nations that invente

The Poe Center - Raleigh, NC on Instagram: "Did you know that Native Americans created the first version of lacrosse? 🥍 The original game was called “The Creator’s Game” and had important spiritual ties to indigenous practices. 🌳Tribes such as the Oneidas and Haudenosaunee used this game as a way to honor nature, exercise their bodies, and entertain others. While this is different from the modern-day sport, Native American tribes such as the Oneidas and Haudenosaunee still play the original ga
