Traditional Games

The Interviews


The girls, on the other hand, used to have a game of their own. In particular they would juggle. If they had not already learned how to juggle, they would be practising. Some could use three toss stones, while others could not. We as boys also tried our hand at it. Some had no difficulty using three toss stones, but for most of us we could not do it with the three toss stones.

There was another game that the girls used to play as well, which was PIKLIRTAUTINIQ (jumping from the kneeling position to land on the feet without any aid and repeating the process). I never did learn how to do for I could not carry my weight. The girls used to do that without any difficulty at all. There was another game called SITTUQTAQ (cossack dancing).
