6. Native American Fact – Lacrosse, as we know it today, originated with the Iroquois Nations, where it was traditionally called “stickball.” This game was played for centuries before the arrival of Europeans and often served as a major community event, lasting several days. Matches could include anywhere from 100 to 1,000 players from opposing villages or tribes. According to tradition, “stickball” or “lacrosse” was used as a peaceful way to settle disputes.
