• The purpose of the coup stick was to show the
  bravery of a tribe member.

Why Native Americans liked using a coup stick
instead of killing an enemy

• The indians would have some kind of scoring chart
  and they would get more points if they ran up and
  hit a person with their coup stick instead of
  killing them with a bow and arrow.

What ideas validate the creation of a coup stick

• It shows bravery instead of violence.
• It organizes counting coup within a tribe and who
  ever had the most counting coup was usually the
  head chief of the tribe.

What are coup sticks used for today, and who uses
them

• Coup sticks are used for powwows. Powwows are
  like a Native American get together.
• The Salish indians use the coup sticks. The
  Salish indians are from Canada.

5
What alternative would you suggest to the Native
Americans instead of using a coup stick

• I would suggest a war club for them to use
  because it was one of their tools and it was a
  great tool in all of the wars.

6
What changes would you make for the creation of
your own coup stick

• I would add clear beads for my birthstone, blue
  feathers for the color of my eyes, and red paint
  decorations for my favorite color.
