Tewaaraton Award

Each year, the award recognizes one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy: the Mohawk, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Tuscarora tribes.

The award winners each receive a trophy of a bronze sculpture depicting a Mohawk native playing lacrosse.

It was designed and created by Frederick Kail with the assistance of Thomas Vennum, Jr., a Native American lacrosse historian and author.

This was a regional team which was composed of the best players from both private and public schools in the Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia area.

All awards are not only based on the student's athletic performance, but also on their merit, academic achievement, and ambition.
