Stomp Dances and Stickball Games

Yaaknii’

Historically, stomp dancing has its roots in the Green Corn Ceremony and harvest celebrations. Chickasaws believe that the fire at the center of the dance circle is the embodiment of Aba’ binni’li’ on earth and that the smoke carries prayers to Him. Stickball was originally played as a way to avoid war and settle conflicts. Today, Kapochcha’ to’li’ (or, “Little Brother of War”) is played on a field of roughly about 100 yards with a tall pole in the middle. Points are scored by hitting the pole with the ball. Stickball is and always has been played without protective padding, helmets, and in most cases without shoes. In contemporary stickball games, it is not unusual to see women playing. Stomp dance and stick ball demonstrations can be seen at the Chickasaw Cultural Center, located at 867 Cooper Memorial Dr., Sulphur, Okla. Traditional stomp dances and stickball tournaments also take place at Kullihoma, which is located 10 miles east of Ada, Okla., on Hwy. 1.
