) Martin eventually contacted Bill Quackenbush, a representative of the Cultural Preservation Office, and in cooperation with the City of Madison Parks Department they arranged for an introductory event to take place this Friday afternoon. Men and women and boys and girls of all ages are invited to participate, and Quackenbush will be on hand to give lessons and explain the rules and procedures to prospective players. “This is something that was probably played around here previously by Ho-Chunks that lived here,” Martin said. “It’s a game that’s indigenous to here … it’s not only learning something about the culture that is indigenous to Madison, but it’s also fun.”
