It is known that the Inuit territory is beautiful, as are the people. What was not readily known were the types of Winter Games the Inuit athletes played. Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) presented the documentary Games of the North, Playing for Survival which was aired on PBS. The athletes who competed in these games used their spiritual, mental and physical abilities to endure the competition.
The Artic Winter Games included the regular sports such as basketball, skiing, hockey. What is astounding are the unusual games such as the Knuckle Hop and Head Pull.
A must read. If you have any unusual games or sports you’d like to tell us about, we’d love to hear from you.
