Traditional Native Games

Cherokee Nation hosted the Traditional Native Games at Sequoyah’s Cabin Museum on Saturday May 19th. This is the thirteenth year for the competition and this year there will be a change to the finals. Hatchet throwing was a big draw this year and there were several competitors trying for the first time. Participants competed against one another in Cherokee marbles, horseshoes, blowgun, corn stalk shoot, and chunkey. In addition to the traditional games, Sequoyah Day was also held at the Sequoyah Cabin Museum. The family friendly event was a day of traditional Cherokee art, music, and activities for the kids.
