GATHERING STONES
GATHERING STONES - Small stones were used much like the "Jacks" of European children. One larger rock would be used as the tossing rock. That rock would be tossed into the air, then the same hand would gather an agreed number of other smaller stones into the same hand before catching the tossed rock. A miss would occur if the tossed rock hit the ground before being caught. The object of the game would be to gather as many small rocks as possible before catching the tossed rock. Rules varied between bands of the Blackfeet, Bloods and Peigans. A game of dexterity and skill. |
