throughout history.

Their living environments depended on what the

weather was like outside.

2 million Native Americans still live in the

United States today.

Native Americans & Sports

Native Americans invented the sport of lacrosse.

Native Americans often do not like sports because the name of the team or the mascot is racist. For example the name of the team: “Redskins” and “Indians.”

Many sports teams mimick Native American religious rituals.
