Onondaga: The Lacrosse Stick Makers (Video)


An Onondaga father and son make lacrosse sticks in the traditional way. Filmmaker Jack Ofield filmed famed stick maker Alfie Jacques while he was only in his 20’s. It’s a remarkable video that sends us right to that moment in time. Alfie’s father Lou Jacques makes a cameo. Among divulging methods of stick making Alfie also adds integral lessons that cover a life span. “If u can do what you want in life, have a good time… it’s alright”, Alfie proclaims. Reminds us how pure this sport truly is and how special each and everyone of us are to be a part of it.
