Mission Statement

The 2015 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship will be the first ever international sporting event held on Indigenous lands. Thirteen nations will compete for the championship on September 18-27, 2015 in Syracuse, New York.

Description

For the first time ever, the FIL (Federation of International Lacrosse) will hold the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships at the home of the game: The Onondaga Nation. This is a significant milestone - the Haudenosaunee, will step onto the world stage and carry their flag, exercise the sovereignty of indigenous nations, share their culture, field their national team, welcome guest nations, and proudly host the game of their ancestors.

Thirteen Nations from around the world will journey to Onondaga to compete. The eyes of the world and all of Indian Country will descend on the Onondaga Nation in Upstate New York this September.

We have a need for lots of volunteers ages 10+ to assist with various aspects of the games and special events surrounding the games.
