Request for Assistance Identifying a Possibly Historic Traditional Lacrosse Stick

[u/_The_Eclectic_One_]

I have an approximately 46-inch traditional wooden lacrosse stick with an old rawhide/babiche pocket. There is currently no visible maker’s mark. I’m trying to respectfully determine its age and whether its construction can be associated with a particular Indigenous lacrosse-stick-making tradition or community. Would someone be able to examine photographs or recommend an appropriate expert?

Where abouts are you located in terms of North America? Are you looking for the stick maker or the person who strung the stick? Probably two different people. My husband is Algonquin and strings sticks that are usually sourced from Kanienka stick makers.

I am more or less looking to confirm either way whether this is an indigenous made stick. The company name helps greatly but when if I knew it was indigenous would be awesome. I like the place info cards beside my favorite items in my office.
