SNOW SNAKES originate from various First Nation Communities from around the world. Where ever there was snow a Snow Snake game was played. The Snow Snakes range from four inches to four and a half feet in length. The Snake in the picture was used by the Ojibway and Cree Nations. The Iroquois national game was Snow Snakes. Inuit and Dene peoples had a different version of Snow Snakes, theirs were made of bone. The bone Snow Snake resembles the handle of a curling rock. The Snakes used in the Canadian Shield and Plains were tossed as far as one mile across frozen lakes and were recorded as travelling as fast as 140 miles per hour. The Original Snow Snake was usually a hard wood and depending on the First Nations community the game and the shape of the Snake would change.
