Created by Arthur Boyd Houghton in 1871, this print is a testament to his artistic prowess and attention to detail. The image showcases various indigenous sports played by North American tribes, offering a glimpse into their physical activities and recreational pursuits. From lacrosse matches to archery contests, these games were not only sources of entertainment but also served as important rituals and displays of skill within tribal communities.
