Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina is a tight-knit community of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, still practicing one of their cultural traditions: the game of stickball. In 2000, nearly 100 women from the community took the field to play, showing the matriarchal spirit the Cherokee are known for.
