Tiera Teesateskie, 23, waits on the sidelines of Unity Field for an annual stickball game to begin between the rival Cherokee communities of Big Cove, where Tiera lives, and Wolfetown. Stickball, “A-ne-jo-di: Little Brother of War,” began in prehistoric times as a way for tribes to settle disputes without going to war. October 7, 2016.
