Lacrosse is a game originally played by Native American peoples. While different tribes played many versions of the game, the game styles typically fell into one of three groups: the southeastern, Great Lakes, and Iroquoian.
Southeastern tribes played with two sticks about two and a half feet long. The deerskin ball was cupped between the sticks. Great Lakes tribes used one three-foot-long stick with a pocket at the end, and Iroquoian tribes played with a slightly longer stick with webbing and a small cup. The game today looks most similar to the style of Lacrosse played by the Iroquois people.
Lacrosse was named by early French settlers, though there are no records of non-native people playing lacrosse until the mid-nineteenth century. The game became popular in Canada, and is now one of the fastest-growing sports.
