EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a drawing of an ancient Native American game known as the cattail game. Created by Louis Schellenbach in 1928, this illustration offers a glimpse into the recreational activities enjoyed by Arikara Native American children during that era. The intricate diagram depicts two young boys engrossed in the game, their hands skillfully maneuvering reeds to create patterns and shapes. The cattail plant, which grows abundantly in marshy areas, serves as both inspiration and essential material for this traditional pastime. As we delve into history through this artwork, we witness the early ingenuity and creativity of these indigenous children. Their ability to transform natural resources into entertainment speaks volumes about their connection with nature and resourcefulness. Louis Schellenbach's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen; he masterfully captures the essence of playfulness within each child's expression. This drawing not only immortalizes a specific moment but also preserves cultural heritage for generations to come. Displayed proudly within The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this remarkable piece transports us back in time while reminding us of the importance of preserving our diverse cultural traditions. It serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability exhibited by Native American communities throughout history.
