From the name of this game, fa'-sho'-li-we, or " wood-caues" (wood-cane game), its 

 origin may be referred to the Zunian game of Sho'-li-icc or "canes," the actual canes 

 ol which are replaced with wood in Ta'-sho'-li-tve. 



Mr. Cusliiiig informs me that a basket game, similar to that described 

 as existing' among tbe Arapaho, Cheyenne, Sioux, etc., is also played 

 in Zufii under the name of Thathi pa-Ui-we^ or ''Tablet bounce basket 

 game."
