Until 1998 the team was known as the Akwesasne Thunder. The Thunder played at the Senior B level and were 2-time Presidents Cup (box lacrosse) national champions (1995 and 1997). The Thunder won league championships four consecutive times (1994-97) before the move to Senior A.

The Indians played in the 1999 Major Series Lacrosse championship series, losing to the Brampton Excelsiors in five games.

The club folded after a story-filled 2009[1] season.
