This absolutely awesome sport originated with the North American Indians. The french explorers of the Great Lakes area saw the Indians played it and named it la crosse after the french name for a bishop's crook, which is what the original sticks looked like.

∙ 14y agoLacrosse came about, in the 1400's. Indians created this sport, they would play for days, over many miles. They played this for exercise, for something to do other than be at war, and to see which Indian was the strongest. Since this sport is contact, you had to be very strong. If you were not strong enough, you would eventually be injured, or give up. There are nicknames for this sport, one of them being, the most common, lax.
