Me pēnei te tohu i te whārangi: NZ Folk Song * E Papa (stick game) The song E Papa Waiari, and its stick game directions, can be found on pages 74-77 as "Titi-Torea" in Games for Girl Scouts, published by Girl Scouts of the USA.
But this game is sometimes wrongly called "Lemmi sticks" by USA Girl Scouts. This name is derived from the term Lummi sticks which is the name given by whites to the traditional American gambling game of Slahal played by Lummi and other Salishan tribes on the Washington-Vancouver border. In her excellent 1975 monograph, ethnomusicologist Wendy B. Stuart says gambling songs have an integral part of the Salishan tribal tradition since aboriginal times and have been maintained and preserved by oral means. Slahal, or the bone game, is of interest because of the ancient music which accompanies it. Slahal requires two pairs of cylindrical bone sections to be concealed in the hands. Large amounts of money may be bet on the outcome of the game. Wendy B.
