 tribal; as explained by the Indians 

 themselves, divisions called Chumteya

 same term in turn to their southern 

 neighbors, and so on. See also Chumidok,

Chunkey. The name commonly used 

 by the early tradei'S to designate a man's 

 game formerly popular among the Gulf 

 tribes and probably general in the S. , e. of 

 the Mississippi. It was played with a stone 

 disk and a pole which had a crook at one 

 end. The disk was rolled ahead, and the 

 object was to slide the pole after it in 

 such a way that the disk would rest in 

 the curve of the crook when both came 

 to a stop. It was usually played in the 

 larger towns upon a piece of ground regu- 

 larly prepared for the purpose, called 

 by the traders the " chunkey yard," 

 or "chunk yard," adjoining the town 



square, or central plaza, in which the most 

 important jjublic ceremonies were per- 

 formed. In the W. a somewhat similar 

 game Avas played with a netted wheel and 

 a pair of throwing sticks. The name ap- 

 pears to come from the Catawba or some 

 other language of Carolina, where Lawson, 

 in 1701, mentions it under the name 

 chenco. For diagrams of the Creek town 

 square, with chunkey yard, see Gatschet,
