== My Objective is to have my classmates be able to tell me about the origins of lacrosse and the differences between the modern tradition and the Native American version. The answer to my objective is that the game of lacrosse originated from the early Native Americans. Over time they developed three different forms of the sport. They were the Great Lakes, Iroquoian, and the Southeastern version. The style that slowly formed into the game of lacrosse we play today is the Iroquoian. The Native Americans were also known to play very aggressivly and obnoxiously when the games were in progress. Along with how they played, they played for many different reasons such as territorial disputes and ceremonial events, or curing processes. ==
