CBS News: Iroquois team raises profile in ID fight. "We're trying to be as productive as possible. And now, the way history worked out, you live in the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world. The State Department has long accepted some casual use of tribal “passports” given a number of tribes’ geographic sprawl across the U.S.-Canada border (where until recently the paperwork burdens for travelers were minimal anyway). Too often, our passports are denied by the very countries that took our land. An informed opinion would recognize that the real problem here is of self-governance, if Haudenosaunee people want to be recognized as sovereigns, they need to keep up with international self-identification requirements, something that handwritten passports fail to do.

The Iroquois Nationals took part in their first international competition at the 1990 World Lacrosse Championship in Australia, finishing fifth out of five teams. The team, which represents the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, experienced passport procedural issues while trying to leave Canada for Israel on their Haudenosaunee passports. [2], These passports became an issue when the Iroquois Nationals attempted to enter England for the 2010 World Lacrosse Championship held in Manchester.
