eae GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS _ [ETH. Ann. 24 
MOQUELUMNAN STOCK 
Apiacue. Big creek, north of Groveland, Tuolumne county, Cali- 
fornia. 
Doctor Hudson describes the following game under the name of 
sawa puchuma (sawa, stone; puchuma, to lift or cast with the top of 
the foot) : 
A pecked stone ball, about 3 inches in diameter, is cast with the top of the 
right foot. The left foot must not get out of position. The one who can throw 
it farthest wins. 
Batu JUGGLING 
The sport or game of throwing two or more balls into the air at 
the same time has been observed among the Eskimo and an adjacent 
Algonquian tribe, among the Bannock, Shoshoni and Ute (Sho- 
shonean), and among the Zuni. There is no indication that it was 
borrowed from the whites, and further investigation will doubtless 
result in its discovery in other parts of the continent. 
ALGONQUIAN STOCK 
Nascarer. Ungava, Labrador. 
Mr Lucien M. Turner? says: 
While walking out the girls generally toss stones or chips in the air and 
strive to keep at least two of them up at once. The Eskimo often practice this 
also, and, as it appears to be a general source of amusement among the Innuit, 
I suspect that the Indian borrowed it from them. 
ESKIMAUAN STOCK 
Eskimo (CentrRAL). Cumberland sound, Baflin land, Franklin. 
Dr Franz Boas” says: 
A third game of ball, called igdlukitaqtung, is played with small balls tossed 
up alternately from the right to the left, one always being in the air. 
Esximo (Ira). Smith sound, Greenland. 
Dr A. L. Kroeber ° says: 
The Adlet among them also juggle, some with as many as five pebbles at once. 
SHASTAN STOCK 
Acnomawti. Pit river, California. 
Dr J. W. Hudson describes these Indians as casting up lenticularly- 
shaped stones over and over, juggling.
