On February 1st, Professor Allan Downey, chair of the Indigenous studies program, released his first full-length monograph: The Creator’s Game: Lacrosse, Identity, and Indigenous Nationhood. The text examines how lacrosse, a game that historically has been a central element of many Indigenous cultures for centuries, has come to play an important role in the shifting politics of Indigenous efforts to assert self-determination.
