Introduction
  • Reviewing The History Of The Coup Stick
  • My Name Is Jordan Ray and I Will Be Explaining
    The History Of The Coup Stick

3
The Purpose of the Coup Stick
  • The purpose was to touch an enemy with his coup
    stick to prove his bravery, rather than shooting
    him from a long distance.

4
Why Native Americans Admired Using a Coup Stick
More Than Killing an Enemy
  • Bravery was an important part of Native American
    culture.
  • It meant a lot to show bravery to your tribe.
  • One of the greatest acts of bravery was to touch
    an enemy with a coup stick.
  • It was more important to do this as an act of
    bravery than to actually kill someone.

5
Ideas That Validate The Creation of a Coup Stick
  • Bravery was an important part of Native American
    Culture.
  • Was a disgrace to the enemy to be merely touched
    in battle.
  • Bravery was more important than killing an enemy.
  • It pointed out the bravest warriors out of the
    tribes.

6
What Coup Sticks are Used for Today, and Who
Uses Them.
  • Also called dance sticks today.
  • Used at Pow Wows today in performing traditional
    dances.
  • Native Americans still use them today.

7
What Alternative Would I Suggest to the Native
Americans Instead of Using a Coup Stick.
  • I would suggest fighting one on one.
  • This would prove the strongest and the bravest.
  • Every time you win a battle you receive a feather
    for your coup stick.
  • The strongest warrior would have the most
    feathers.

THE END
  • This ends my presentation on the history of the
    coup stick.
  • Hope you enjoyed it.
