Forget the World Cup--It's the World Lacrosse Championship

++The Iroquois Nation, all 150,000 of them,now is a Superpower in World Lacrosse. The Iroquois Nation team romped over Australia 16 to 5 for third place in the championship. 

++They battled champion Canada to a 8-8 tie and then lost by a goal. Previously,they lost to the United States team by 18 to 5.

++Even though they invented the game as a spiritual exercise a thousand years ago,the American Indians had been excluded from competition for years. White teams complain that they use their traditional hickory sticks which lead to injuries.
