Brescia, Bill
The guide, intended to aid students (grades four and above) in making their bodies a good home for their spirit, provides a variety of athletic activities and traditional Indian recipes for use in the classroom or in cultural programs. Apart from running (the major American Indian means of maintaining physical fitness), instructions are given for the following 16 tribal games: "kickball" (Yakima), "Wut Si Mo" (Paiute), "Tek'me pu'ku" (Moquelumnan), "Tinbin Terowako" (Bannock), "juggling" (Eskimo, Urock, Shoshone), "Tculikiwe'kut" (Pima), "Gamago" (Iroquois), "Paska Tanchi" (Choctaw), "sled" (Sioux), "stilts" (Hopi, Shoshone, Zuni), "hide-and-seek" (Makah, Twaba), "Tateka Yukmunpi" (Oglala Dakota, Teton Dakota), "double-ball game" (Menominees), "buzzzzzz" (Plains tribes), "knuckle hop" (Eskimo), and "stick pull" (Eskimo). Seventeen recipes from various tribes are provided, along with nutritional information, i.e., calories, carbohydrates, fats, protein, fiber, polyunsaturated fats, minerals, and vitamins. The guide encourages special attention to the pronunciation of words that appear from different Native languages. (AH)
