"Chunkey," an Indigenous American sport ("one of the most popular sports in [Indigenous] North America," Graeber and Wengrow note
"a complex and highly co-ordinated affair in which running players tried to throw poles as close as possible to a rolling wheel or ball without actually touching it"
however, it is also a lesson in the rise of social hierarchies--"the game became increasingly monopolized by an exclusive elite," more of a "spectator sport" (at least in the region of Cahokia, today the Mississippi floodplain, where the game originated)
