Going into this course I really enjoy sports, so reading and listening how and what Native Americans did for amusement and sport was fascinating. They discovered Lacrosse which was a very viscous sport with the potential for people to die in some cases. The sport did bring the communities together for their shared amusement and it was amazing to understand what was done in order to play and what was done before games begun. With what rituals were done to actually playing the game, it had so much meaning because there was relevance for every boy to play by gaining strength and skill and becoming someone who is solidifying themselves as a true warrior for their community. The sport of lacrosse really gave the Native Americans a true identity and put Canada on the map.
