[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1310954, member: 97"] Yeah they often give it to members of opposing teams- to honor them for their sportsmanship and hard work at play...The young lady that gave this one to Leinie is a Sophomore from the Poplar Indians team- and she honored Leinie by saying it was because of her being able to learn by watching her play and encourage her by seeing her hard playing ability... In our District 3 of the 5 teams in the District are made up of a majority native American players... My granddaughter has also played on teams with or against many of these girls during the summer months in tournaments thru-out the state.. Leinie was the only team member to get one on her team- but one of the members of our boys team was also presented one... He is the young man in the lower left of the prayer circle with the beautiful white, red, and black quilt wrapped over his shoulders... After 60+ years of watching these ceremonies I am still in awe of this ongoing tradition- and the friendship, sportsmanship, and culture exchange it promotes... [/QUOTE]
