So this is the same old story, different time in history.
As native people we’ll continue to run this ever lasting track of hurdles.
it’s timeless and exhausting but must continue to fight.
The colonizers don’t want Indigenous people to be native. Want us to be Canadian/American

and history have proven that. Residential schools, blood quantum’s, passports, ect.
they don’t want to acknowledge us for who we are.
And it’s indigenous land AGAIN..
I know I sound furious and that’s because I am.

This is all beside the fact that we’re talking lacrosse-our medicine game- the Creators Game, as in for all of creation to play. Time and time again my people have welcomed you all (American/Canadians/ European) into our culture into our home land only to have it exploited.

The 2022 Lacrosse Competition Games in Birmingham Alabama are a qualifier (as a sport) under the direction of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)
For the Olympic Games.

The make up of the IOC board is obviously not doubting our skills (Iroquois Nationals rank as One of the top 3 Teams best in lacrosse in the world.)
It can’t be our history( they already grandfathered us in and we’ve been competing since 1990, and internationally before then)

So they are essentially denying us our identity as a sovereign people. Again they are throwing our treaty’s in the trash.
