We, the undersigned, urge the UK Government to reconsider its ban on allowing indigenous people of North America - the Iroquois Nationals - to travel to the UK on their Haudenosaunee passports in order to participate in the World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester.
The petition just passed the 100 signature mark. I am documenting these names to include in a formal briefing package for the relevant UK government officials.

So much for fair play. It honestly breaks my heart that they are being blocked like this after all their hard work to get there.

UNBELIEVABLE. They have every right to use their own passports. Stop disrespecting their history and let them compete!
