Unknown to most Americans, hand game- also called stick game or bone game- is the most widely played Native gambling game in North America. Every year thousands of American Indians pack up thier lawn chairs and game sets, and hit the "hand game trail," competing on reservations throughout the west. The first and only feature documentary on the subject, this fascinating video explores the mythic and historic roots of contemporary gambling in Northwest Native America.
