ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Strong Museum is opening a new exhibit focused on the history of lacrosse.
The exhibit, called “Lacrosse: The Creator’s Game,” features unique artifacts and explores the sport’s history. It was created in partnership with the Rochester Knighthawks and the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum.
The display traces the history of lacrosse from its Indigenous origins and explores the historical prejudices and rules that excluded Native players during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It also highlights the evolution of the sport into its modern-day form.
“Anytime you can get a stick in a little kid’s hand, we can grow the game. That’s what we want. When our children are born, we give them that crib stick. We want, we encourage them to play anytime they can,” said Tonja Haugh, director of business development at the Rochester Knighthawks.
Haugh said the display honors the Seneca tradition and that lacrosse is more than a game; it is part of the Seneca Nation’s heritage.
The exhibit opens to the public on Saturday and will be up until February.
