Thank you for making this documentary. It is very informative, and well presented! I also appreciate the cultural and historical connections/information.

Thank you for making this video. I am going to share it with the Native American Senior Center in Phoenix, Arizona. We are hosting a traditional tribal hand games tournament on Saturday, October 15, 2016. We are calling for teams to register. Registration is only $20 and we will have prizes for everyone who comes. We will also have food, drinks, and arts and crafts for sale made for by the Native American seniors of Maricopa County. Thank you again for keeping this tradition alive and teaching us here on KZfaq. A he' hee! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this special tradition!

My parents took my brothers and I to laconner birch bay to see bone games canoe races and dances it was the best I'm full blooded native but grew up in Seattle so my parents kept us close to being proud .thank you

this is a great video. all of the culture is worth preserving. thank you for sharing the this explanation of the games and making it more understandable to those who have seen the games but didn't know what was going on.

I go to SIPI (it's a tribal college in ABQ, NM) and we just started playing this twice a week. It's really fun and a good bonding game for us even though we all come from different tribes across the nation. We are going to be challenging other schools in the area as well now.

This was awesome. Thanks so much. I'm learning Chinuk Wawa at Lane Community College in Eugene Oregon. I'd love the opportunity someday to see this game played.

Looks like great fun ! How beautiful: a game to replace bloodshed.

We only discovered these in 2001. These are the most fun! We just watch, but this great video reminds us.

Such tradition that goes way back and was used to settle wars. Lets hope that this and others to not get lost.

Thank you

We played this game in my First Nations anthropology class in the spring and I just found out that they're going to have a game in Stanley Park tomorrow for the Live City 125 event. Can't wait to see it! :)

Thank you, for this video.

We go to Makah Days in Neah Bay and just listen and watch. It's really exciting, but really soothing, too.

very nice thank you

Very well done. Thank you. It is sad that more don't play bone game (Slah Hal here) I've tried to get some people to play for fun local but non seem to be interested in learning. I will keep trying! :0)

Looked into it since I was interested in making some, but couldn't figure out what exactly was interesting about guessing which hand the bone was in. The psych out and bluffing of it makes way more sense compared to the really basic write-ups I found on this year's ago.

Slahal is what we call it. Much love from nooksack

This is a very creative game that requires very little equipment! A lot of strategy behind this game. :)

This looks like a really fun family game.

This is a fun game

bone games are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

👍👍

Some games even go on for the hole day and night

I would like to get permission to use this video in an Anthropology Museum exhibit at the University of Nevada Reno. Would you release the copyright for this use so that I can share it with all who come to the museum for the exhibit? The exhibit is called How the West was Fun and my display is on Native American games and leisure activities.

my dad and them play bonegame

Well done!

I always win this game. Since u was 7

Sad to see culture, ancient knowledge ,and traditions dwindle and wither throughout all of the hardships, genocide dgenocideesecrated land that non knowledge people wrongfully claim or "discovered" to say all this lightly

😡😡😡
