    I have been told this is a bird whistle used in ceremonies ,also that it might be a gaming stick, I would very much like to know which and approx age, It has some age to it, very light and is just over 4 inches in length, BTW it no longer whistles, also if anyone can tie it to particular region or tribe that would be great, thank you all so much yet AGAIN bone4.jpg bone4.jpg bone6.jpg bonew.jpg bonewhistle.jpg bone4.jpg bone6.jpg bonew.jpg bonewhistle.jpg
