Jim
Boyd: Going
To The Stick Games
Going
To The Stick Games is available at Thunderwolf's
store. This is a concept recording with the entire CD
focusing on the Stick Game.
 Introduction
The Stick Game is a traditional game that is played by Northwest
area tribes and some tribes in British Columbia. It's a game
of chance, that at one time was used as an ice breaker between
tribes when they would gather. Today, these games are still
played.
This
game utilizes sticks, which act as scoring devices. There
are also a couple sets of bones. Each set of bones include
one with a stripe around it, and one without a stripe, which
is the bone the opposing team tries to guess as it is hiding
in the hand of a player on the opposing team. The team that
has the bones and can keep the opposing team from guessing
the correct bone wins sticks, until the game is finally won
by the winning of the Kick Stick.
There
are also the Stickgame songs. These songs are used to both
distract the other team, and to pump your team up during the
game. This recording is dedicated to those songs, and to the
people who keep the Stick Games alive.
