Merge
[edit]I think we should merge the ILF and IFWLA articles to here. At this point I have essentially copy and pasted those pages here. Any reason to keep these legacy pages separate? Mitico (talk) 15:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

First Nations as sovereign nations
[edit]"It is the only international sport organization to recognize First Nations bands and Native American tribes as sovereign nations."
Is there any citation that supports this claim? The fact that the Haudenosaunee are members is not enough. FIFA and World Rugby don't recognise Scotland and Wales as "sovereign nations" despite them having their own organisations and teams represented. BananaBork (talk) 08:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Team Articles — First Nations Lacrosse Association & Haudenosaunee Nationals
[edit]This is more an issue with World Lacrosse articles in general rather than this one in particular, but this is where it’ll be seen. In articles on World Lacrosse, the Haudenosaunee Nationals are redirected to the First Nations Lacrosse Association, which the article claims oversees the Nationals teams. However, I could find no evidence in either the FLNA’s or Nationals’ websites that they are in any way affiliated. In fact, the Nationals website directly contradicts this notion, saying that they are under their own body, the Haudenosaunee Nationals Lacrosse Organization, with their own board of directors and board of trustees. In my opinion, it would be best if the Haudenosaunee Nationals had an overarching article for their organization to redirect to, and remove all mentions of the Nationals from the FNLA article and stop redirecting to it.
