Brett Bucktooth, a member of the Haudenosaunee Nationals Lacrosse team and Syracuse University’s 2004 national championship team, visit Times Square, New York, Monday, July 12, 2010. The 23 players on the Haudenosaunee lacrosse team cannot fly to England for what’s considered the Olympics of the sport because the U.S. government won’t allow them to re-enter the country on Haudenosaunee nation passports. “This is a world championship. I am hoping there is a resolution to this problem quickly,” said Bucktooth. Bebeto Matthews/AP Photo
