I have played teams such as Six Nations several times in my lacrosse career so far. I also saw the Six Nations Jr A Arrows play in the Ontario finals and they were amazing. I often consider Natives to have been the best lacrosse players I've seen. But remember, they did invent the game. I even have a tattoo of a native larosse goalie stick on my back. Who would you say are the best Native players to have picked up a lax stick?
1. Delby Powless
I miss Kim Squire & Rod Squire on the Rock

Drew Bucktooth made the World Team as a 15yr old at the 1996 U/19 Championships....not sure what happened to him but he sure made me look stupid a few times!

Hands down the best Mohawk player of all time was Ross Powless. If you take the time to look at his accomplishments, you'll see why. Second would be his son Gaylord Powless...
Nowadays I would say Delby Powless, Gewas Schindler & Cory Bomberry...

I can't pick a single favourite. For current Iroquois players, my favourite pair to watch is Delby, and Kim Squire. Kim's got a few problems, but when he's got his head in the game, he can still make magic!

didn't he graduate from syracuse a couple years ago? he was underrated during the mp era, and was pretty nasty. his younger brother brett goes there now and i think he has another brother coming up.

ANY of the Native players in the past, present and future dominate the game since it's THEIR game to begin with! hehehehehehe. :thumbsup: It just all depends on which era and time period you want to talk about, that's all.
Anyways...... this is only my scoop.

I didnt see Drew Bucktooth play, but Brett played amazing in May trying to help lead Syracuse into the finals.
