A new film documents a group of Native American high school girls who defy tradition by playing—and excelling at—lacrosse. “Keepers of the Game” reveals both the obstacles and triumphs of the team and the girls individually. We talk with the director of the documentary about making the film and the reception it’s receiving with audiences and critics. We’ll also explore the history of lacrosse and what it means for girls to take up the sport.

Tsieboo Herne (Mohawk) – college student and featured in Keepers of the Game
