Seminole children playing traditional stickball
- Date
- Description
- Five color slides. The traditional stick ball game, played by many Southeastern indigenous peoples, dates back to Precolumbian times. The game consists of a small ball made of deer hide which is struck with sticks (similar to LaCrosse in Europe) to strike a pole -- or an object on top of the pole. The game often is embued with religious and political meanings. Similar images can be found in S 1577, v. 49 and v 48. The images were created in part for use in an exhibit on Seminole culture at the Museum of Florida History.
