Printup is among three winners who have been selected to direct and create short virtual reality videos based on Indigenous culture. Printup chose to focus on something close to his cultural background: lacrosse.
Printup explains that the Haudenosaunee and Iroquois people created lacrosse, which they believe was passed down from their Creator, and it was both a past time and a way to settle squabbles and wars. Printup explains that Haudenosaunee males are given lacrosse sticks at birth, a sacred keepsake.
