If a player succeeded in spearing the hoop, he was lashed by his opponent with a willow whip. If, however, the spearman retrieved his spear, the hoop and the whip, his team would get the next throw of the hoop. | Compton, Brian Douglas, 1993, Upper North Wakashan and Southern Tsimshian Ethnobotany: The Knowledge and Usage of Plants..., Ph.D. Dissertation, University of British Columbia, page 288 |
