I remember walking out on the boardwalk behind the Seminole Tribal and Historic Preservation Office when I came across three guys chiseling rocks and sharpening sticks. Normally, apart from Daniel Tommie making canoes at the hunting camp, no other demonstrators are regularly present, so I seized this opportunity to inquire and introduce myself. Upon asking, they gave me a breakdown of the traditional game of Chunkey, a recreation involving a discoidal stone rolled across the ground. At the same time, participants competed to throw a lance or spear where they thought the stone would stop rolling.
