Traditional competition meets global celebration

As part of the World Cup celebrations, we will host a traditional Stick Game tournament - bringing together community, culture, and friendly competition. Historically used for everything from entertainment to trade to conflict resolution, stick game is a vital piece of Coast Salish tradition. Accompanied by singing and drumming, stick game embodies the joy, strategy, and resilience that have united Coast Salish people for generations.
