Which sport was first played by Aboriginals?

  1. Hockey

  2. Curling

  3. Lacrosse

  4. Football

The correct answer is: Lacrosse

Lacrosse was initially a sport played by Aboriginals, particularly Native American and Native Canadian tribes, before it was popularized by Europeans. Although there is evidence of early versions of hockey, curling, and football being played by Aboriginals as well, lacrosse was the first sport to have been specifically created and played by them. Therefore, while the other options may also have been played by Aboriginals, they were not the first sport played by them.
