Striking Sticks

Striking Sticks
The only instrument used by the Mississippi Choctaw in accompanying their songs is a pair of striking sticks. The sticks are not round, but slightly flattened on two sides, affording suitable surfaces for striking together. This form of percussionn is not common among the Indians but was noted among the Menominee in connection with "magic power".
