Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines mainstream media coverage of the Iroquois Nationals’ withdrawal from the 2010 men’s World Lacrosse Championship as a result of failing to meet the requirements of US and UK immigration authorities. While the team’s refusal to use either US or Canadian passports in international travels raised important questions about Indigenous sovereignty in settler states, mainstream media largely framed the incident as an issue readily resolvable by short-term bureaucratic and technical solutions. The findings shed some light on the limitations of this coverage but also highlight the value of sport as a site where the underlying tensions within settler colonial states manifest.
