Each Tribe chose their best player to represent them and formed a team. Both tribes decided it would be best to play the game on the land they were disputing over. After a few weeks of preparation, the day had finally come for the game to take place. The medicine man came and invoked the proper blessings and everyone was ready to start playing. The game was started by the Choctaw gaining one point after hitting the pole. The Cherokee then scored nine points by hitting the wooden fish three times. The game went back and forth for three days and was very close but in the end the Choctaw took the victory with a total of 74 points. 

As time went by,  Wampums grew in popularity and one day Europeans have decided to create a savings composition called a “bank”.  Where everyone from Cape Cod South to New York had access to. As the banks opening day was getting closer as time passes by,  all the Native tribes were excited to deposit all their Wampums to keep them in a safe and sound place.  On opening day on the 27th of August,  a family of hard working Native Americans walked into Cherokee State Bank to deposit their Wampums and make an account.  Unfortunately, the banks’ clerk that was behind the desk rejected the families currency because they, “were counterfeit,” as stated by the banks manager.  “Why can’t we deposit our Wampums when Europeans can?” asked a native mother walking in with her family. She was responded with silence. One male shared his important opinion, “we spend hours of our days to scavenge and carve our wampums in the ocean, how can they possibly be counterfeit, why are we being treated like total savages.” Everyone is asking questions yet there are no answers to be found. Are the wampums counterfeit or is there a discrimination party involved?
