To elaborate, the North American Indians in the Great Lakes area were the first to be observed playing the game by the french. Second 'La crosse' was the name given to the game by Jean-de-Br�beuf because of the resemblence of the stick to a Bishop's crozier aka Acrosse. Modern Lacrosse's first uniform rules were written by Dr. George Beers.
