EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into Native American history and culture. The image, titled "NATI2A-00170" features a Choctaw or Creek ball-player engaged in an intense game of lacrosse, using traditional Native American lacrosse sticks. This hand-colored woodcut is based on an illustration from the 19th century. The scene captures the essence of recreation and sportsmanship among indigenous peoples in the southern region of the United States during this era. Lacrosse, known as "la crosse" to these tribes, was not only a popular pastime but also held significant cultural importance. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when North America was still being shaped by its native inhabitants. The Choctaw and Creek tribes were prominent in Mississippi and Alabama, contributing greatly to the rich tapestry of Southern heritage. Through this artful depiction, we gain insight into how sports played a role in fostering community bonds and preserving tribal traditions. It serves as a reminder that Native Americans had their own unique forms of recreation long before European settlers arrived on these shores. This remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and the historical significance it represents – shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of our nation's past: the vibrant sporting traditions of Native American cultures.
