Abstract:

Among the Cherokees and other tribes, the game of stickball has been for generations part ceremony, part organized combat, and a true test of athletic skill. Native Americans count it as one of their favorite and most revered recreational activities. The game brought tribes together for a competitive game of skill and strategy. Hodge discusses the pre-game ceremonies and how the Cherokees played the game.
