Can You Do This? | Hopedale Inuit Demonstrate a Traditional Game

Our first stop is at the DHSD building, which is the Nunatsiavut Government Department of Health and Social Development. So we're going to head this way, and then I'll give you some info when we get there, maybe easier. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Tails wagging. There's programs for parents. This is really nice inside. They're going to be participating in windgames. Oh, okay. Okay. And there's some water. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Thank you. They have all kinds of goodies for us, too. Everybody, get in the car. Morning. My name is David Dorsey. I'm in my nephew's tribe. I've been wanting to do an English game. We call it Maccabi for a game. There are many things that you gain from this. One of the things I learned from my parents, from my son-in-law, most of them were like friends, and there's a guy, I want to show a couple, I want to show a few of them, and maybe my nephew will try this one first. Thank you very much. This one is a push-up, right? Right. This one, you will have it like this. You can't touch how we are both. You can't touch how we are, but I'll be right there. Oh, wow. It's serious, Rico. Yeah, right. The lab work is going to stay on until it's done and the other fellow on that side. So there'll be about three to four of them on one side and three to four on the other side. So I'm going to take a big one here for you and one over here for you. Oh God, that's really strong. Can we have you bend your arms? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's alright. Pushing this mostly part of your throat with these screws. But this one, this is your mouth and the back of it. But your feet, your feet come in the back. Your feet, your feet come in the back. Oh, my feet's back, is it? Yeah. Try it again. Oh! Pushing him. Oh, he wins. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Hello. Hello. Oh wow. I would probably break my hip. Thank you. Thank you. I have to pick it up. Plop. Plop again through your arm's tooth. Can you clap your hands? I can't believe all of that. Oh, my God. It's like Rocky Balboa. Oh, wow. Oh, he's going to try to clap his knees while they do it. Jeez. It landed right on my nose. Thank you for that. Oh. Oh. Okay. Oh, oh, owie knuckles, yeah. Often using like toothpicks and all that, yeah. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Well, I can do that. I started out when I was six or seven years old. I watched my parents, I watched my mother, I watched them and I learned. He is the head of games. Is the camera still on mute? Like when they do their sports meets and stuff like that, that's still part of the competition. And the owl prop and seal prop. What is a seal prop? Oh man, I need a replacement. I took care of the broom. Oh, man. Yeah, cleaning the broom.
