Keywords

💡Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a team sport with deep cultural and spiritual roots in Native American traditions. It was originally played as a means of healing and community bonding, involving strength, endurance, and spirituality. The video traces its history from Native American origins to its evolution as a mainstream sport in Canada, highlighting the changes in rules and cultural significance over time.

💡Healing

Healing refers to the spiritual and physical restoration that lacrosse provided for Native American communities. The game was historically played to strengthen the community's 'medicines,' especially when someone fell ill, symbolizing a connection between physical exertion and spiritual well-being. This concept of healing underpins the original purpose of the game in the narrative.

💡Creator

The 'Creator' in the script refers to the spiritual force or deity believed by Native Americans to have given them the game of lacrosse. The sport is depicted as a gift from the Creator, played with reverence to connect with nature and spiritual guides, such as powerful animals, making it more than just a physical game.

💡Boundaries

In the early form of lacrosse, the game had 'no boundaries,' reflecting its freedom and spiritual significance. The lack of physical limits symbolized the open connection between nature, the players, and the spiritual realm. This changed as non-Native people adapted the sport, imposing boundaries and formal rules, which restricted the original cultural expression.

💡George Beers

George Beers was a lacrosse player and enthusiast who formalized the rules of modern lacrosse in the 19th century. His role in changing the game—introducing boundaries, reducing team sizes, and organizing formal competitions—marked a significant shift from the traditional Native American version of the sport to one more structured and competitive for non-Native audiences.

💡Professionalism

Professionalism refers to the exclusion of Native teams from championship play in the 1880s, as they were labeled 'professionals' by non-Native rule makers. This exclusion was a turning point in the narrative, highlighting racial discrimination and the removal of Native peoples from the mainstream development of their own sport, despite their deep connection to it.

💡Man Cup

The Man Cup is a prestigious trophy donated by Donald Man for the senior lacrosse championship. Its mention in the video underscores lacrosse's popularity during the early 20th century, when top lacrosse players earned more than even baseball stars like Ty Cobb. The trophy symbolizes the sport's legacy and competition at the highest levels.

💡Plastic vs. Wooden Sticks

The contrast between plastic and wooden sticks in lacrosse reflects a broader theme of tradition versus modernity. Wooden sticks, handcrafted by Native artisans, are depicted as more connected to the original spirit of the game, offering players better control and feel. In contrast, plastic sticks symbolize the commercialization and modernization of the sport, leading some to argue that they diminish its authenticity.

💡Box Lacrosse

Box Lacrosse refers to the indoor version of the sport that emerged in the 1930s. Played in hockey arenas during the summer, it represented a shift from the traditional, outdoor version of lacrosse. While it became a popular professional sport, it also signified a departure from the spiritual roots and open-field nature of the original game.

💡Cultural Assimilation

Cultural assimilation is a recurring theme in the script, particularly in the way lacrosse was adapted by non-Native people. Native players were marginalized and forced to conform to non-Native rules, languages, and identities in order to participate in their own game. The exclusion of Native teams from championships and the imposition of professional labels reflect broader efforts to assimilate Native culture into mainstream Canadian society.

Tupperware with the with the wooden

Harry some of the words he knew didn't

fit in with the parts of the of the of

the play the role that he was playing

and everybody burst out laughing when

they'd hear him say something

most of the people in in there could

understand Mohawk didn't hits what he

was trying to talk but he'd put it in

the wrong place that's

all Ross pus plays on the Peter Bro Team

they win the man cup four years in a row

in the early

1950s but as a team's only native he

endures abuse from all sides beginning

with his own teammates

but we got together afterwards and and

they were telling me how mean they

treated me when I first went to

Peterburg and just right off the face

off said crack me to you know my legs

and everything and they wondered whether

I was yellow or

not um by hit me not me me not

retaliating but uh I wanted to make the

team I way I didn't go up there to fight

they say that lacrosse is such a violent

game and it's this and it's that and uh

it's not violent when uh I I wish they

wouldn't use that word and and put it in

any type of a sport because a game

played properly is never violent it's

the people that play the game that make

it that way I had played I call it good

lacrosse senior a lacrosse for years and

then my family was following me around

at different places you know Huntsville

and Peter bro after they started to go

into school my wife said that's enough

I'm not traveling anymore education is

more important cross so I was going to

be a little different I was going to try

and start a team down

here so when I came home I talked to

several of players and I talked to some

parents of players and I talked to some

Elders

Old-Timers by the time I got a feeling

of whether they would help me or support

the thing I was astounded how much they

were interested the players respected

him and he he knew how to coach

obviously and he had two winning teams

they won two Canadian senior B

championships uh a coach couldn't have

done any more than

that most of Ross and Wilma palace's 13

children ended up with an interest in

Lacrosse but one Gaylord showed early

promise as a champion Gaylord played

Junior lacrosse for 4 years

with yosua green Gales during a period

when the team won seven straight mental

Cup championships he was twice voted

most valuable player in the final

series of all the players that I've seen

i' say Gaylord paus was certainly the

most skilled player and uh he was worth

the price of admission alone and his

ball handling and his passing and the

fact that he he was such a clean player

he took so much abuse and he had the

size that he could have retaliated and

and and been a physical force that way

too but he didn't he took that and uh he

was he was just a fine team

player every game he sto every year when

the season started we had to buy him two

braces two new braces for his knees so

finally I said to him one year I said

gayl you know when of those knees are

going to get better he says I don't wear

the braces because I got bad knees I

wear the braces I get so many slashes

that the braces just you know the steel

down the both sides keep those you know

those waxs off my my shin bones and my

my

kneecaps follow

through I felt like I was knocked around

quite a bit but I didn't feel like I was

any better than anyone else I think

whenever you have the ball as amount of

time I had you're going to get take the

knock and and if you don't want the

knock don't touch the ball simple as

that I used to tell your dad and all the

players I'd leave my stick out so

they're going to shift when I play with

my

grandsons um I can't move around being

handicapped and wearing braces all over

the place

now I can't move around to show them

what I'd like to show him and gay and I

are are the only two in Canada father

and son in the player bracket of the

Hall of Fame where and then I find

out over here that uh Christopher that's

his name to make the Hall of Fame but

that's how that's how you practice I was

stuff like that and our hobbies and my

hobbies are lacrosse and stuff like that
