There are many websites and books written about the history of lacrosse.
The more you read, the more you will see that Lacrosse is a true American sport. We all see how American sports have become an important part of our culture and has helped define who we are. To the Native American, Lacrosse was even more a part of who they were than football or baseball is to our society today. To some, playing the sport of lacrosse gives them a connection to the young Indian warrior who played this game five hundred years ago.
