Games of chance were played by many of California's indigenous peoples. This gambling tray would have been used for huuchuish , a game of dice played exclusively by women in which eight walnut-shell dice were thrown and sticks were used to keep score. The dice, score sticks, and participants are depicted in the circular design woven into this tray.
