For some, fall means football (go Gamecocks). 🏈 But for Native Americans, it was all about chunkey. The game challenged players to throw a spear where they thought a disk-shaped stone rolled down a playing field would stop. Whoever’s spear landed closest won a point. The game built connection, relieved stress, and helped warriors hone their hunting skills.
To see chunkey stones for yourself, head to the South Carolina State Museum , where several are currently on display.*
