To destroy the Americans with a heavy blow to the head
Coup d'etat means a sudden change of government by violent means.
Before contact with white Americans the many tribes of the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota used whatever was available in their own locality to make their tools. These included hide scrapers from buffalo bone, hammers (for meat and berries) from stone and wood, arrow-straighteners from buffalo bone, arrow smoothers from sandstone blocks, awls for sewing from bone splinters, knives of sharp flint or chert stone and so on. From the very first contact with white people, metal tools were a very common trade item. These included axes, knives, files, saws, hammers, sheet metal and many other items. The earlier bone hide scrapers were replaced with a metal blade attached to a wood or bone handle; metal awls replaced bone ones; metal trade knives replaced those of flint or chert. Stone hammers continued to be used for pounding meat and berries and arrows continued to be prepared using stone tools, but in general metal goods took over from the original types.

A coup stick
Are you talking about the stick they use to touch enimes before battle? (Counting coup) -- it was a coup stick.
The coup stick was primarily used by Native American tribes on the Great Plains, including the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Crow.
Coup sticks were confined to the Great Plains area where counting coup was considered an act of bravery. A coup could be counted by touching a living, fighting enemy with the hand, with a quirt (horse whip), with a bow or with a coup stick; stealing an enemy war horse was also considered a coup; among some tribes it was also a coup to be first to touch a dead enemy while his friends were trying to retrieve the corpse - in all cases there must be a significant risk involved, and importantly the coup must be witnessed by others who could confirm it.So coup sticks were not necessary for counting a coup, but many warriors did carry them. The Crows and the Blackfoot tribes used them perhaps more than any other tribes; among the Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Atsina, Sarsi, Assiniboin, Plains Cree and Plains Ojibwe they were carried less frequently by warriors who might use quirts or other objects instead.The Crow chief Plenty Coups recalled taking part in a fight against a war party of Pikuni Blackfoot who were protected by fallen trees; Plenty Coups sneaked up to their barricade, reached over and grabbed a coup stick belonging to one of the enemy, then struck him with it - this counted as a double coup, since he used the Blackfoot's own coup stick.See links below for images:
First I would like to note that the Sioux were not the only tribe to use the Coup Stick. Also note that the concept has been perverted by European settlers. "Counting Coup" was a method of battle used by many of the horse tribes. It consisted of using the stick to tap or touch an opponent during battle. To prove a concept, of : "I could have killed you but chose not to" (as a basic example). Rank was assigned by the danger involved in each act. European settlers would often attack after this was done, and this is dishonorable and often resulted in an all out attack against the settlers.

American Indians counted coup in combat. Touching the enemy with your spear or hatchet and that earned you points. Warriors had a coup stick which was decorated with feathers and scalps.
