HANDGAME WORKSHOP
Handgames, or stickgames are a traditional game played by many tribes throughout Native America. The game is played with humor, spirituality and power beyond contemporary understanding. The importance of this game traditionally far exceeds the knowledge taught in western society. This demonstration will teach Native youth about traditions and the cultural aspects as well as spirituality of the game, which is sometimes forgotten today. The game also teaches young people to avoid negativity and to keep a positive outlook and clean mind, body and spirit to achieve success for your people. Subjects such as culture, abuse of drugs and alcohol as well as one another is taught and youth learn that success in traditional culture must be achieved with purity and respect.
