Cherokee Marbles

The Cherokee game of marbles is unlike any other. It's a social game that is said to date back hundreds of years. Some say it's is a lost art, but not in the Cherokee Nation. We catch up with groups of marbles players, who are keeping the game going for new generations.

My uncle gambled using marbles in the Appalachians, they used marbles instead of dominos and horse shoes which he did that too. I just had to tell my kid it's where skeet ball comes from. That she's seen played, 😊.
