MIL history

History
Mohawk International Lacrosse is the last remaining manufacturer of Lacrosse Sticks on the Akwesasne Reservation. The sport of lacrosse has been played by the Mohawk people for several hundred years, even before the 1500's. Over the centuries, the art of Manufacturing a lacrosse stick has been passed down from one generation of Mohawk craftspeople to another.

Since 1928, lacrosse sticks have been commercially manufactured in Akwesasne. At one point, Akwesasne manufactured 97 percent of the World's output of lacrosse sticks. With the introduction of plastic sticks the demand for wooden lacrosse sticks from Akwesasne, dwindled.

Today, the situation is much different. Lacrosse has taken off as a worldwide sport and lacrosse stick manufacturing is a vibrant growing industry. Even the wooden lacrosse stick, which Akwesasne is known for, is once again in demand.

Mohawk International Lacrosse is the company to turn to for lacrosse sticks (wooden or plastic). We invented the game, why not let us design the sticks.
