Games

For Igloolik Inuit, traditional games are not only a source of entertainment but also an opportunity to bring the community together. They play a major role in strengthening the social fabric by helping the different generations get to know each other and by encouraging the older generation to pass on their knowledge to the younger ones. These times of sharing and togetherness brighten daily life by offering people a chance to see who is stronger or tougher in a fun way. The games highlight qualities like strength, agility, or endurance, all of which are developed through day-to-day activities.
