Synopsis Games of the North American Indians: Games of chance by : Stewart Culin
Games figured prominently in the myths of North American Indian tribes, and also in their ceremonies for bringing rain and fertility and combating misfortune. In his classic study, originally published in 1907 as a report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Stewart Culin divided the games played by Indian men and women into two general types. Volume 1 of this Bison Books edition takes up games of chance, involving guessing and throwing dice. Culin was able to show that the games of North American tribes were remarkably similar in method and purpose. He found that games using dice of various materials—wood, cane, bone, animal teeth, fruit stones—existed among 130 tribes belonging to 30 linguistic groups. The games are described in detail in this volume, and so are the popular guessing games drawing on sticks and wooden disks and involving hidden objects. Volume 2 is just as absorbing in its elaboration of skills like archery and games like snow-snake, in which darts or javelins were hurled over snow or ice. Played throughout the continent north of Mexico were the hoop and pole game and its miniature, solitaire form called ring and pin, here illustrated. With equal authority Culin discusses ball games: racket, shinny, football, and hot ball. He includes accounts of "minor amusements": shuttlecock, tipcat, quoits, popgun, bean shooter, and cat's cradle. Originally published in 1907, Stewart Culin's comprehensive work reveals a side of American Indian culture still only rarely shown. An experienced observer, Culin was curator of ethnology at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences and the author of books about games in other cultures.

Synopsis Games of the North American Indians (Classic Reprint) by : Stewart Culin
Excerpt from Games of the North American Indians The death of Major J. W. Powell, Director of the Bureau, occurred at Haven, Me., on September 23, 1902. This event profoundly affected the interests of the Bureau, and closed an epoch in the history of the science of man. The wisdom of the foundation laid by Director Powell is everywhere recognized, and the impetus given to anthropological studies by his work must continue to be felt long after the present initial stage of the science has ripened into knowledge which shall help to regulate and direct the future development of the human race.
