 HickokSports.com - History - Lacrosse
Lacrosse in the U. Lacrosse had pretty well died out in the northern United States by the middle of the nineteenth century, but it was revived in upstate New York during the late 1860s by the Onondaga tribe, influenced by the St. Regis tribe, which was among those still active in Canada.

Lacrosse was a demonstration sport at the Olympics in 1928, 1932, and 1948, and an exhibition tournament was held at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1980.
