About The Creator’s Game

Lacrosse: The Medicine Game of The America’s

“The game was given to us by the Creator — not just to entertain us, but to heal us.” — Haudenosaunee Oral Tradition

Long before it was played in stadiums or aired on national broadcasts, lacrosse was the heartbeat of Indigenous communities across North America. It wasn’t just a sport—it was a sacred tradition. Known among many Native nations as The Creator’s Game or The Medicine Game, lacrosse was a gift from the Creator, meant to bring healing, unity, and strength to the people.

Ancient tribes such as the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Cherokee, and Ojibwe played lacrosse not for fame or trophies, but as a spiritual ceremony. Entire communities would gather to watch or participate, with matches stretching for days, played across open fields that spanned miles. The game was often used to settle conflicts, heal the sick, and bring people together during times of hardship. It was medicine—not only for the body, but for the spirit and the Earth.

The players believed that when they stepped onto the field, they were playing for the Creator. Their movements, their energy, and their breath were offerings. The sticks they held were more than equipment; they were sacred tools crafted by hand from trees, carved with care and respect for the land. Every pass, every shot, was a prayer in motion.

Today, we honor that legacy.

At Creators Domain, we carry forward the spirit of The Medicine Game by choosing a different kind of field—one of sustainable action, healing choices, and reconnection with the Earth. We believe that every mindful purchase, every shift toward sustainability, is a modern-day act of medicine. Like the original players, we play for something greater than ourselves.
