Echoes of the Ancestors: Oakhill Stickball
Directed by Colby LuperS10 • E7 May 1, 2025
Cherokees have played stickball from time immemorial. Over the course of American history, colonization and forced assimilation stripped so much from Cherokee people. Today, the youth of Oakhill, a small Cherokee community near Jay, Oklahoma, yearn for cultural connection. They've answered the call of their ancestors and are proudly building the tradition of Oakhill stickball.
