Almost every Native Indian tribe had coup sticks. Coup sticks were generally decorated with beads and feathers, and used to prove one's courage by riding up to an enemy and striking him with the stick. This showed the Indian could have killed the other person but chose not to. It is a test of bravery not always resulting in someone's death.

How did tha Lakota use coup sticks?
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:
