370 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS  [erH. ann. 24 
The closed ends are also differently marked. Except for the slight 
variations in the markings they are identical with the preceding sets 
from Santa Clara. They are described by the collector and donor, 
Dr T. P. Martin, of Taos, as used in the game of cafute. 
The sticks, in the same order as the preceding ones, receive the following 
uames: Cinchow (colloquial for cinchado), girthed; mulata (mulato), tawny ; 
una, one; dos, two. 
The object concealed is a small stick or sometimes a nail. An Indian takes 
the four sticks and, placing them under his blanket, conceals the small stick in 
one of the openings. He then withdraws them and lays them on the ground 
with the openings either buried in a pile of dirt or pointed toward him. An 
opposing player, who sits opposite the one who conceals the object, then chooses 
one. If he selects the tube on his right and it contains the object, he pays the 
dealer 10 grains of corn, beads, or whatever the game is played for. If he selects 
the second and it contains the object, he pays 6 to the dealer. If he selects the 
chinchow and it contains the object, the dealer pays him 4. If he selects the mu- 
lata and finds the object, he takes up the sticks and becomes the dealer; the 
former dealer becomes the player, and the game continues.

Dr Franz Boas* describes a game called mokoa: 
This game was introduced from the Nootka. It is played between tribes. 
An object is given to a member of one tribe, who hides it. Then four members 
of another tribe must guess where it is. They are allowed to guess four times. 
If they miss every time, they have lost. This game is played for very high 
stakes.
