Baggattaway
Once, before the sunrise, they had a game. Until they were removed to the sidelines for a long, silent age in which their last numbers are inert as upright fossils. How the blood of these fossils would be stirred up if even a single inning of baggattaway (lacrosse) could be played again. Chippewa sons Birch Charlevoix and Neil Longbow LaSalle intend to stir up that Native blood. Drawing the rancor of Indian haters and the lacrosse establishment, they fight to honor their game, to institute Indian rules for the Lacrosse World Cup of 2010.

I love this book! Spoiler alert: I felt very upset about the ending at first but it was so good to discuss this with the author after. It is not meant to leave you all sunshine and rainbows. Maybe it's meant to teach us to understand the honor deserved, the hard road traveled and the truth that it's irreversible. I highly recommend this book as it is an adventure to read and truly an original piece of writing! The stylized sections both challenge the reader and help allow the reader a different plane on which to connect with and appreciate the story. My only criticism is that this is not an easy book to read, but I believe it is a story certainly worth the work!
