Traditional Arctic Sports demonstration at Canada Northern House

Some demonstrations of traditional Arctic sports at the Canada Northern House during the Vancouver 2010 Paralympics Games. From Canada Northern House home webpage ( www.canadasnorth.com)
Traditional Games originated from the time when northern aboriginal people were semi-nomadic. Played for both fun and survival, these games developed strength, endurance, and resistance to pain. The people were tested and prepared for the hard life on the land. Today they are played in competition and to celebrate culture between different regions of the North.
