Create Native American Game Sticks

Learn about traditional Native American games, and make a simple set of game sticks to take home!

Many games played today have their origins in Native American cultures. Join us to learn about traditional games played by a number of California tribes.

We’ll see traditional game sticks, and then will create our own simplified version, drawing simple geometric designs on craft sticks.
