Why does MidMaine Lacrosse name events using Native American words?

Why does MidMaine Lacrosse name events using 
Native American words?

Modern day lacrosse descends from and resembles games played by various Native American Original First Peoples.  These include games called: 

dehuntshigwa’es in Onondage (“men hit a rounded object”), 

da-nah-wah’uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee (“little war”), 

begadwe in Mohawk language (“little brother of war”), 

baaga’adowe in Ojibwe (“bump hips”) 

kabucha in Choctaw.

MidMaine Lacrosse, in respect to the origins of the game of lacrosse, names many of our festivals and events using words from Native American languages.
