- Two games: Ten Sticks, Fifty Sticks. (a) "Ten Sticks": 4 round short sticks, ca 7.0 cm long, painted red. Two have a piece of buckskin glued onto a groove in centre. Ten long sticks ca 22.5 cm long, bark peeled off in middle to pointed end. (b) "Fifty Sticks": Six knuckle bones threaded with buckskin, tied to a long pointed bone 21.0 cm. long. Fifty peeled sticks ca 26.5 cm long, tied together with cotton strip. Explanation of games by Archie Daniels: (a) "Ten Sticks" The famous hand game. One stick is marked. A gambling song is changed then the player tries to confuse his opponent by ways he plays the 2 sticks and after awhile "the guesser" his opponent will call to the player to guess. If he misses his guess of the marked stick by pointing which hand he has the marked stick he loses one mark and the player keeps on playing. 10 sticks are used for the end of the the game. Horses and other priceless items were betted. As many as can put up a bet can play taking sides of the players. Many killings have taken place as well in the older lawless days as any other games and killed for big stakes by the white people. See history (HU) for "Fifty Sticks"
