cULIN] HOOP AND POLE 427 
Similar ceremonies or games were practised by the cliff-dwellers, 
as is attested by a number of objects from Mancos canyon, Colorado, 
in the Free Museum of Science and Art of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania. Figure 553 represents a corncob shuttlecock stuck with a 
grouse feather; figure 554 a feather dart, with a hard-wood point to 
which a hawk feather is secured by a wrapping of yucca fiber; and 
figure 555 a ball of coarse yucca stems, the latter identified by Mr 
Cushing as used in the “ arrow-spearing game,” all from this locality. 
Fic. 551. O&qél manas throwing darts into netted hoops; Hopi Indians, Oraibi, Arizona; from

The use of the miniature netted shield as a protective amulet is 
widely distributed. J. G. Kohl describes a wooden ring over which 
thongs are drawn as a cradle amulet among the Chippewa at 
Apostle islands, Wisconsin, and an actual cradle charm from the 
Chippewa, exhibited in the Columbian Exposition at Chicago, was 
practically identical with the miniature netted shields of the Zuni 
and the Hopi. The Hupa employ a similar charm (figure 556) on 
« Kitchi-Gami, Wanderings round Lake Superior, p. 8, Lordon, 1860.
