Great stuff. It is fascinating how similar stick and ball games evolved simultaneously over centuries around the world, and nice to see some overdue research on the North American indigenous contribution. Link to film?
Why would it be considered bravery? If it’s true then don’t be afraid to speak up. I love Native American culture and people. If only we’d listened to them all along this earth might be in better shape.
The oldest known hockey stick dates to the mid-1830s; it was made by William "Dilly" Moffatt (born 1829) from sugar maple wood and is now owned by the Canadian Museum of History. i estimated the Mi'kmaqs created the game before European Settlers also they Invented the Game LaCrosse as well
@@JBTriple8 There is a sport in Europe called bandy which is very similar to hockey which there is historical records of it being played already in the late 1700s (and its likely it was being played by Russians many generations before) Hockey was not invented by a single people
