When the Creator´s “Game” Spreads to the World
Original language description
Lacrosse, known generally as a stickball “game“ with its origin in the North America, has been an important component of life for a lot of Native Americans. Since the second half of the 19th century, this originally Native American game has spread among different groups of people and has developed various forms and meanings to them. In the second half of the 19th century, Canada and the United States adopted the game and it has spread to Great Britain and other countries of the former British Empire, such as Australia. During the second half of the 20th century, the game has spread to other countries in Europe and Asia (mainly Japan and South Korea) as well. Lacrosse is not only one of the currently fastest growing sports in an America , but it continues to grow all around the world. The different and various cosmologies and epistemologies may lead to different interpretations about its proper performance, contexts, rules, gender-lines, representation, and properties. One of the countries where lacrosse has specific meaning is the Czech Republic (or former Czechoslovakia). This chapter focuses on a sketch of the meanings and origins of lacrosse for different groups of contemporary players and also on its role in the so-called revitalization of Native cultures.
