The game of lacrosse is a gift from the Creator, given to the
American Indians in the long ago. But Travis Skinaway doesn't know
the full story of the game: he only knows that he struggles to
catch the ball and tends to throw it over the other boys' heads.
Maybe he's not built right to run the field. His teammates and
coach seem to think he's hopeless, anyway.
Travis is ready to hang up his gear, but then his grandfather
appears in a dream, explaining to him that lacrosse is a spiritual
quest, just like a prayer, a song, or a dance. Mom doesn't believe
Travis's story, but Grandma knows: she says dreamtime is just as
real as awake time.
Grandpa continues to visit Travis, sharing details about the
different styles of play, the types of equipment, the various
traditions among the tribes. Wearing his grandfather's gear, Travis
gains confidence as he practices with the team. When opportunity
strikes at the big game, he carries the durable weight of tradition
onto the field with him, celebrating skills handed down through
generations.
Co-owner of Redbird Media and Design, Art Coulson (Cherokee) is an
award-winning writer and editor with decades of experience playing
lacrosse. Robert DesJarlait (Anishinaabe, Red Lake), cofounder of
Protect Our Manoomin, is an artist and activist who illustrated
Meridel LeSueur's "Sparrow Hawk."
