Exhibition Opening - What's the Score? American Indians in Sports

March 24, 2010 6:00 PM

What’s the Score? American Indians in Sports
Through October 17, 2010
Sports played a prominent role in the traditional life of most Indian communities. Games such as shinny, lacrosse, footracing, archery, swimming, hoop and pole, and various types of football taught survival skills. This exhibition offers a look at Indian sports through the years, including traditional, boarding school, reservation, and professional sports. Notable Indian athletes, local reservation teams, and heroes such as Cahuilla baseball player, Jack Tortes Meyers, catcher for the New York Giants, are spotlighted.

This exhibition is sponsored by Robert & Renona Pennington.
