“I am so impressed and appreciative with what your society is doing! Traditional Games Society is helping everyone to understand the traditional ways and culture. It’s exposing the people, young and old, to ways that haven’t been practiced for many years. It's giving us a sense of belonging and pride because these ways come from our customs and traditions. ‘Pinamiya,’ thank you.”-Sonya Smoker
We are dedicated to research, restoration and re-introduction of Native American Indian games.
The efforts to revive and
reenact traditional games gave power to the life-affirming expression of “What
Holds Us Together.” Honoring the differences of each tribe’s expression was
seen through language, movement, and skills that renewed hope for a shared
survival.
Through workshops, special events and instructor certification, we are preserving a core element of the first people's culture and traditions.
