What material was used for the ball in Indigenous lacrosse before hard rubber balls were introduced?

In Indigenous lacrosse, which evolved from the traditional game of baggataway, balls were historically crafted from indigenous materials rather than the hard rubber used in modern versions. While specific materials varied by region and culture, early balls used in such games were frequently made from animal parts, such as leather or hide, and were often stuffed with various materials to achieve the desired size and weight.12
