Stickball, also known as "Little Brother to War," is an ancient game played by native nations throughout eastern North America. Playing fields often covered several miles and participants were occasionally killed or severely injured. Cherokee stickball was used to settle disputes between towns and other tribes. Long ago, the Cherokee obtained land in present day Georgia by defeating the Creeks in a monumental stickball game. Stickball is still a part of religious ceremonies and used to settle certain issues. It is an honor to play the game and survive!
