Play the stick game
The Tulalip Tribes invites the public to learn the traditional tribal stick game, also known as slahal or bone game, on Thursday.
Hourly sessions are planned from 3 to 7 p.m. in a tent behind the Tulalip Resort Casino.
Stick games predate recorded history as a traditional form of tribal trade, landholding and social networking.
A slahal tournament is planned for Saturday and Sunday on the Tulalip reservation and is open for the public to watch or play. The tournament begins with a ceremony at noon Saturday at the same location.
