Stickball was developed as a way for Native American tribes to settle disputes without going to war. The game was extremely dangerous and often resulted in severe injury or death. Join Tall Tree and Squirrel as they demonstrate the games objectives and discuss the ancient methods used to produce the sticks and balls used to play the "no rules" game of war.
