EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving depicts an intriguing moment in the history of Chilean indigenous culture, as a group of native people engage in a traditional game called Cineca. The vibrant image, brought to life through rich colors, transports us back in time to the South American continent. The Cineca game, also known as 'Chunca' or 'Cunca,' was a popular indigenous sport that involved the use of curved sticks to hit a small ball. The objective was to score goals by maneuvering the ball into the opposing team's goalpost. This game was an essential part of the social fabric for many indigenous communities across South America and was often played during celebrations and gatherings. The French engraving showcases a lively scene with several players in various stages of the game, their expressions reflecting the intensity and excitement of the moment. The intricate details of their clothing, hairstyles, and the curved sticks add authenticity to the scene, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Chilean indigenous people. The Cineca game, though not as widely known as other sports today, holds immense historical significance. It is a testament to the resilience and creativity of indigenous communities, who developed unique games and traditions that continue to inspire us. This engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of our world.
