Summary:
"A gift from the
Creator
- that is where it all began. The
game
of
lacrosse
has been a central element of many
Indigenous
cultures for centuries, but once non-Indigenous players entered the sport, it became a site of appropriation - then reclamation - of
Indigenous
identities. Focusing on the history of
lacrosse
in
Indigenous
communities from the 1860s to the 1990s, The
Creator
's
Game
explores Indigenous-non-Indigenous relations and
Indigenous
identity
formation. While the
game
was being stripped of its cultural and ceremonial significance and being appropriated to construct a new
identity
for the nation-state of Canada, it was also being used by
Indigenous
peoples for multiple ends: to resist residential school experiences; initiate pan-Indigenous political mobilization; and articulate
Indigenous
sovereignty and
nationhood
on the world stage. The multilayered story of
lacrosse
serves as a potent illustration of how
identity
and
nationhood
are formed and reformed. Engaging and innovative, The
Creator
's
Game
provides a unique view of
Indigenous
self-determination in the face of settler-colonialism."--From publisher.
