EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and energy of a Native US Lacrosse game in the mid-1800s. The image, taken circa 1830, showcases a large crowd of Native Americans intently engaged in the traditional sport of lacrosse. The game, also known as "baggataway" or "the little brother of war," was an essential part of Native American culture for centuries, serving as a means of social interaction, conflict resolution, and physical training. The photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of Native American sports and their deep connection to the land and community. The players, dressed in traditional clothing, are seen in various stages of the game, with some in the act of passing, shooting, or blocking the ball. The intensity of their focus and the determination in their eyes are palpable, reflecting the deep significance of the game to their culture. The photograph also provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans during a time of great change. The game was played on open fields, often in the presence of European settlers, and served as a bridge between Native and European cultures. The photograph, therefore, not only captures the spirit of the game but also the resilience and adaptability of Native American communities in the face of colonialism and cultural change. Overall, this photograph is an invaluable historical document that sheds light on the vibrant and complex history of Native American lacrosse and the enduring importance of sports and community in Native American culture.
