A game that was played over a wide stretch of western North America and is still very popular in certain areas is called slahal in Chinook jargon. It is a guessing game played with two pairs of bone cylinders and a number of sharpened counting sticks. These slahal bones are typical of the Salish area. Bones with a reputation of winning are highly prized. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
