This essay focuses on the struggle of Indigenous communities to assert their identity(ies) within a contested northeastern borderland and under the influence of the globalizing processes involving sport (Downey 2018). More particularly, it addresses the restricted agency of the Iroquois Nationals lacrosse team and its hopes of representing its own nation at the 2010 World Lacrosse Championship in the United Kingdom.
