play shinny on four Sundays in April, an old tradition. It's kind of
like field hockey, with curved sticks and two teams with goals at opposite
ends of the field. The ball is special and kept by the Martin
Blueback family, the head of which officiates at the games. Most of the
players (all men, but of all ages) make their own sticks. There are
rules, but it can be a very rough game. Uncle Parrish (my consultant)
told me that at one time (within his memory) the Gives Water family held a
shinny game every year that could be very rough, with the brothers-in-law
playing against the sisters-in-law, but that's the only instance I've heard of
women playing.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

basing this on cultural contact, such as the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

the Choctaw. Or, was there some type of ball game played among other

usually ended in the sacrificing (beheading) of one or the other team. I
haven't acquainted myself with all its rules although they apparently couldn't
use their arms or legs in touching the ball and they apparently had some type of
hoop they could put the ball through for extra points (a la basketball).
I don't think the Mayan ball game had a North American counterpart though,
