Description: |
For many cultures around the world, games were important to pass the time. Many Native American cultures had some form of this type of ring and pin game. Considered a woman’s game, the object is to catch the bone “rings” with the needle. The beaded hoops on the end of the cord were added as weights. This particular game dates from the 1930s and originated in the Northern Plains region of the United States. |
