Stickball: Little Brother of War

The ancient game of Stickball has been played by dozens of Native American tribes of North America for centuries. This video was produced in 1988 for the Muscogee Creek Nation of Oklahoma and depicts a modern version of the game as it is still played by traditional Indian people. NOTE: This video was first put up on this You Tube channel in 2014, but had a major glitch at about 9:30 into the program. That has been fixed. Thanks for your interest in my films on tribal culture, history and contemporary affairs.

Thank you for sharing. This is the first time I ever seen the game played. Thank you for sharing our tradition.

Produced in 1988? Really? They all look very much like the 70s. So, it's probably produced in 1978.

Yeah. Maybe "produced" means "compiled" using older footage?

some of them are probably my kinfolk. (mvto) thank you for this video.
