On Wednesday, May 1, Ten Sticks Lacrosse will be launching a rapid fire crowd-funding rally on Indiegogo, “Ten Days for Ten Sticks.”
TDTS will fund trips to send the entire team to the state championship playoffs in Bozeman, and four of our players on a pilgrimage from the Flathead Indian Reservation to the motherland of lacrosse, The Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. There they will compete against and learn from the people who gave us this game.
Funds will also support Phase 1 of a short documentary film that captures the stories of the first 10 teenage boys from the Flathead Indian Reservation who have stepped forward to bring this traditional Native game to the kids in their community.
Campaign backers can receive unique traditional Native game sets that are harvested and hand carved by our players and community members. Follow along with us as our crowd-funding campaign will travel to games and the ever-important River Honoring 2013, where Ten Sticks players will spend two days sharing lacrosse with hundreds of fourth-graders from all over the Flathead Indian Reservation. Join us at tenstickslacrosse.org.
