content: LEDGER, CATALOG CARD AND SI ARCHIVE DISTRIBUTION DOCUMENTS SAY SENT TO SALEM, MA. 1886. HOWEVER, PART OF THIS ARTIFACT IS STILL IN THE COLLECTIONS. Described, p. 489, in "Games of the North American Indians" by Stewart Culin, Hoop and Pole Game chapter, in BAE 24th Annual Report. Culin indicates a stick or arrow with a feather at one end and a corncob at the other was sent to the Peabody Museum, Salem, MA. Based on the description of the game in Culin, who describes the game as analogous to the hoop and pole game, the object still in the Smithsonian collections as of 2010 appears to be the split target stick (used in this form of the game instead of a hoop) at which the feathered game arrows are thrown.
