Stick dice - 2 sides (black marks one side, plain other side)
Making stick dice out of arundo cane. These pieces were used in popular games amongst West Coast tribes. Usually the "dice" were made from elderberry branches, but it's easier to make them from the invasive arundo.
All are facing up - 3 points
3 up 3 down - 1 point
All facing down - 2 points
If there are no more sticks you take a stick from someone else.

Little mouse story - scurrying storing gathering so there in a stock pile of food.
Roaring sound in his ears when he stops - other mice said ur crazy
Raccoon walked thru village - mouse asked raccoon if he heard sound? Raccoon said yes I hear - it's the great river. Raccoon said I can take u there, but mouse was scared.
He took him to river. Up to edge of water and saw himself. Now u know the medicine of the river.
They met frog - shared stories
Frog asked mouse- I live half in water and out of water, that is my medicine. Asked mouse what his medicine in? Mouse said I don't have medicine.
Mouse jumped high and saw mountain and then fell down into the water. He got angry at frog.
Frog said Is a little discomfort worth it to see the sacred mountain. Your new name is jumping mouse.
Jumping mouse went back to his village and was all wet.
Other mice looked at him weird.
He knew spots in the sky would capture mice. So he was scared to travel but he did carefully.
Went to a house and met a new mouse who had also been to the great river and they had lots in common. But this mouse said there is no such thing as sacred mountain.
He went on to the sacred mountain alone.
Choak cherry trees - he heard rumbling sound again.
And it was a buffalo. I am dying and I have seen my medicine. There is only one thing my medicine told me to seek wisdom from a mouse.
Now I shall die happily because I have seen a mouse. He shared his sight with wolf
Run along in my shadow and I will protect u to the sacred mountains. Took him to the bottom of mountain. But left him there to continue.
He met wolf and shared his sight with wolf. Jumping mouse was blind and went with wolf to mountain and sat guided by wolf. And wolf told him all he saw.
Saw nothing but felt everything. Something hit him from back and saw colors and someone told him to jump and grab the wind,
