The Kocoum enjoy a variety of activities, including some for fun and some strictly for survival. The Kocoum play a rock-paper-scissors version of the game to settle disputes rather than going to war which was a civil way to settle potential conflict. Buffalo hunting is essential to the existence of the Kocoum, although; they sometimes hunt buffalo merely for sport. They also played a game called Chunke. It consisted of a stone shaped disk that was about 1–2 inches in length. The disk was thrown down a 200-foot corridor so that it could roll past the players at great speed. The disk would roll down the corridor, and players would throw wooden shafts at the moving disk. The object of the game was to strike the disk or prevent your opponents from hitting it.

Hey Brad, I got the impression that our culture doesn't actually play stick ball, but the rock, paper, scissor-like alternative. Is this what everyone else understands? please look at Alex's political organization page. He says the Kocoum got the idea for that game by encountering a culture that did play stick ball.
