Explore the rich and complex history of lacrosse with "The Creator’s Game: Lacrosse, Identity, and Indigenous Nationhood." This enlightening lacrosse book talks about the significance of lacrosse within Indigenous cultures from the 1860s to the 1990s, highlighting the sport's role in Indigenous identity formation and resistance. 

Lacrosse, a sacred game with deep roots in Indigenous communities, faced appropriation as non-Indigenous players entered the sport. "The Creator’s Game" examines this dynamic, detailing how lacrosse was co-opted in the creation of a national identity for Canada while simultaneously serving as a tool for Indigenous peoples to resist oppressive systems like residential schools, foster pan-Indigenous political movements, and assert sovereignty.

Key themes include:

  • The historical role of lacrosse in Indigenous cultures.

  • The appropriation and reclamation of lacrosse by non-Indigenous and Indigenous communities.

  • The use of lacrosse as a form of resistance and political mobilization.

  • The impact of lacrosse on Indigenous self-determination and nationhood.
