I just ordered a field stick from him; can’t wait to throw with my grand kids. It’s a great game and I know the stick will be perfect. Made with pride and honor
Mr. Lewis Mitchell, I am an admirer of your craft. I recently learned about the cultural significance of the wooden traditional lacrosse stick to the Indigenous people. I am sorry it took me so long to learn this, but I never played lacrosse nor am I a sport watching fan. However it is my conclusion that only indigenous people be the caretakers of the wooden traditional lacrosse stick, and all wooden sticks be returned to the Indigenous people, because I have observed that non indigenous people do not show the respect that this item deserves. I do think it is ok for non indigenous people to assist in this return as long as the transfer is less than 30 days. Bc this is a worthy cause for me, and so far I only been able to assist in the return of a few, it’s only been a few months since I started. So if you see some old white guy buying wooden traditional lacrosse sticks, I do use a case to transport them after purchase and so far only held possession of one for 5 days. I do think that if Lacrosse was declared a religion bc non indigenous people have many religion’s to choose from, then Indigenous people can use the wooden lacrosse stick as religious icons and would be protected under the Criminal Code of Canada. Then anyone who intentionally harms or destroy a wooden lacrosse stick can and will be charged for a criminal offence. I say this after watching Larry Bird using a wooden lacrosse stick to smash items in his house for a utube video. He didn’t use a baseball bat, hockey stick, or golf club, bc they are white peoples game. No Larry Bird used a wooden lacrosse stick, bc he didn’t think there would be any consequences. I wrote to his booking agent to file this complaint. This is 2024 enough of the racist crap, grow up people.
