Price · Sports Illustrated The American Game History and Hope in the Country of Lacrosse Award-winning Sports Illustrated writer S. L. Price's sweeping account of lacrosse — North America's oldest game, born of the Haudenosaunee, now its fastest-growing sport. By S. L. Price · Atlantic Monthly Press / Grove Atlantic · 2024 · hardcover with dust jacket · ISBN 978-0-8021-6473-5 About the Book Nearly a thousand years before it became a fixture at elite colleges, lacrosse was the Haudenosaunee's "Medicine Game" — a sacred contest to train warriors, settle disputes, and heal body and spirit. In The American Game, longtime Sports Illustrated writer S. L. Price tells the sport's sweeping, complicated story: its Indigenous origins, its co-option by the nineteenth-century elite, and its explosion into the fastest-growing sport in the United States. Price traces the fault lines of class, race, and gender that trail the game — from its "laxbro" image to the women's game now powering its boom — and at the heart of it sets the Haudenosaunee Nationals and their fight to play as their own nation, under their own flag. Seven years in the making, and threaded with figures from Jim Brown to Lyle Thompson to faithkeeper Oren Lyons. Worth Knowing For the first time since 1908, lacrosse returns to the Olympics at Los Angeles 2028 — and the Haudenosaunee Nationals are campaigning to compete under their own flag, putting the game's Indigenous roots back at center stage. The American Game was named a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly, NPR, Vogue, and Kirkus Reviews. The Creator's Game Lacrosse's sacred Haudenosaunee origins.
