EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Chunkey Stone, a remarkable artifact that dates back to the 13th or 14th century in America. Created by an unknown artist, this Kaolin stone originates from a game believed to have originated around 600 AD. The Mississippian culture is said to be associated with this particular stone, reportedly found near the Kaskaskia River in Randolph County, Illinois. The image captures the essence of American Indian heritage art and offers a glimpse into pastimes enjoyed by indigenous communities. The Chunkey Stone represents an ancient hoop and stick game that was popular during this era. Its vibrant color and intricate design highlight its significance as both an object of leisure and cultural importance. Displayed within the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Americas collection, this photograph invites viewers to appreciate North America's rich native history. It serves as a reminder of our country's diverse origins and pays homage to Native American traditions that have shaped our nation. As we admire this mineral masterpiece, it is important to acknowledge the contributions made by these indigenous cultures while respecting their sovereignty and land rights. This image stands as a testament to their enduring legacy in shaping not only local communities but also North American society as a whole.
