190 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS _ [BTH. Ann. 24 
Hara. British Columbia. : 
Dr J. R. Swanton “ describes the throwing game: 
The Haida name for this game (gu’tgi q!A’atagan) means literally “ they 
throw the q!a’atagano, ‘ thing thrown up,’ to each other.” The ‘“ thing thrown 
up,” figure 5 [Swanton], was a piece of wood, bone, or ivory, about 3 inches 
high, with a base measuring, say, 14 by 14 inches, and most of the upper part 
cut away, leaving a thin flange extending upward on one side. It was held by 
the thin flange, with the thicker part up, and flipped over and over. If it fell 
upon either side, called q!a’dagano, marked o in figure 5 [Swanton], the oppo- 
nent took it; if on the long flat side, or on the concave side, it counted the one 
who threw it 1; if on the bottom, 2; or if on the smallest side, 4, as indicated 
in the figure. The game was usually played at camp, in the smokehouse, and 
the winner had the privilege of smearing the looser’s face with soot. It may be 
played by two or more, each for himself or by sides. :

Mr A. M. Stephen, in an unpublished manuscript, gives edehti as 
the Tewa name of a seldom-played man’s game corresponding with 
the Navaho woman’s game of tsittile. 
Ticua. Isleta, New Mexico. (Cat. no. 22726, Free Museum of 
Science and Art, University of Pennsylvania.) 
Two sets of three sticks each (figure 250), halves of twigs, flat on one 
side, and rounded, with inner bark on the other; length, 44 
inches. Collected by the writer in 1902. 
One stick in one of the sets has eleven diagonal notches across the 
rounded side. In the other set all the sticks are plain. They are 
used as dice in the game of patol. 
An Isleta boy, J. Crecencio Lucero, described to the writer the peo- 
ple of this pueblo as playing the game of patol, which they call in, 
their own language cuwee, with three sticks, puo, counting around a 
cirele of stones, hio.
