The story began simply: The @IRQ_Nationals, a Native American #lacrosse team, had risen to No. 3 internationally but couldn't get invited to a major competition. Their plight quickly drew me beyond sport, into the realm of history & fable. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
The Iroquois Nationals represent the Haudenosaunee nations, the people credited with inventing lacrosse. Though many in the sport honor them, players face racist taunts & the team is often blocked by officials who won’t recognize them as a sovereign nation.
