What did the Kiowa play?

Answer 1

The Kiowas living in the Black Hills of South Dakota

were playing a precursor game to hockey

around the 1740's and maybe before that.

" Before 1750, the Kiowa lived in the Black Hills region, in present-day South

Dakota."(1)

"A form of Lacrosse was played on ice during the winter months. Two teams of

players used sticks with nets on one end to move a ball toward the goal."(1)

" There were other games, too. The children slid on the ice, or skated on it with skates

made of buffalo rib bones, in the winter."(2)
