From the supplier: Much of contemporary sports have their origins in Native American games but little recognition is given to Native Americans for this.

Self-worth, self-discipline, self-reliance and skills in working cooperatively for the good of the tribe were developed by Native Americans through games. However, Native American women found that the values learned from game-playing were in conflict with values in the workplace which concentrated more on the 'self.'
