Indigenous Lacrosse
Baaga'adowewin is an Indigenous stick and ball game that has its origins on Madeline Island in Lake Superior. Historically, this was a men's game, but it now welcomes all genders. In the last decade, the game has seen a major revitalization with several communities picking it back up, creating a whole generation of kids who have always had lacrosse.
We regularly host games on the UMD campus and throughout the Duluth school district. We offer skill building, community games, and a meal. Follow our social media for scheduled games!
