Children run toward the goal during a game of double ball at Friday’s celebration. The game requires players to use sticks to pick up the double ball, which is two balls made of hide stuffed with buffalo hair and connected by fabric. Once a player has the double ball on their stick, they evade other players to run down the field to their goal and try to fling the balls over a bar. CSKT tribal member Frank Old Horn said there are many different origin stories about the game, but many say warriors used to play double ball to prepare for battle. According to Old Horn, the original fields were up to two miles long, which rewarded endurance, coordination and agility. Photo by Sarah Mosquera / Montana Free Press
