Anejodi – traditional sports from North America
The North America's oldest sport, Anejodi, which translated from Cherokee means "little brother of war" - a sport that was used to condition Native American warriors.
The illustration above was drawn by Jacques LeMoyne in 1591, after he observed the Timucua People of present day Florida. His description reads as follows, "The young men... they played a certain ball game in the following manner. A post was erected in the middle of an area... on the top of which was a rectangular wooden frame woven from rushes, and the one who managed to hit it with a ball was awarded a prize" (Library of Congress).
