History
In 1987, an all-Iroquois women's team was formed and planned to play an exhibition game in Syracuse, New York.[2] The team lacking some backing from the elders was disbanded in 1988.[2][3] Lacrosse has been traditionally viewed as a men's sports among the Iroquois.[2]
A women's team was organized again at the 2005 Cup of Nations sports festival. The following year, a women's Iroquois team stood in front of the Six Nations Confederacy Council in Ontario asking for permission to field an international lacrosse team. The council approved the request with stipulations that the women's team cannot play under the name "Iroquois Nationals" which was used by the men's national team at the time and that a chief's representative would oversee the program.[2] The Haudenosaunee women's team was established in 2006.[3][4]
In 2008, the Iroquois Confederacy women's team, under the name Haudenosaunee, became a full member of the World Lacrosse.
In 2021, the Haudenosaunee Nationals organization was disbanded and the women's team was rebranded under the Iroquois Nationals organization. In June of 2022, the Nationals dropped Iroquois from their name, adopting the name the Haudenosaunee Nationals.[5]
