Her Song is dedicated to the memory of Dotsie Marchand 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 Stick Game 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 the people who keep the Stick Games and those songs alive.
