This is the best summary I could come up with:
Lacrosse will be an Olympic sport in 2028 for the first time in more than a century, and President Biden said on Wednesday that he hopes to see a team of Native American nations competing under their own flag.
Biden threw his support behind the Haudenosaunee Confederacy competing as its own team during remarks at an annual Tribal Nations Summit hosted by the White House.
The Haudenosaunee Nationals won the bronze medal at the men's World Lacrosse Championships in June.
Lacrosse originated with Indigenous peoples of North America, dating back to the 12th century.
The Haudenosaunee Confederacy is made up of six nations – the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senecas, and Tuscarora – and spans from central New York into Canada.
In July, Haudenosaunee leaders met with the White House to make their case to field their own team.
