History:
Founded by the Six Nations-Iroquois
Confederacy, the Iroquois Nationals
is proud to be the only indigenous
nation in the world participating
in international sports competition.
The Iroquois Nationals was established
following a request from the NCAA
to field a team for exhibition play
with Canada and the United States
NCAA national champions. The Haudenosaunee
Six Nations Confederacy then formed
a committee and decided to come up
with the National Iroquois field Lacrosse
team.
The Iroquois National aims to uplift
the self-image of its youth through
the tradition of lacrosse. The organization
is governed by a well-represented
board of directors from various territories
in the Iroquois confederacy. Among
its proud members include NCAA Lacrosse
Champions, NCAA LAX All-American honors,
lacrosse stick makers, and most notably,
a member of the U.S. and Canadian
Hall of Fame.
The Iroquois Nationals is deemed
as the next big thing in the lacrosse
sporting scene, with its rapid progression
among the international ranks. To
further recruit talented youth to
its roster, the Iroquois Nationals
has conducted various lacrosse clinics
for natives in New York, Wisconsin,
Colorado, and Canada.
