Eskimo games / compiled by William M. Zuk ; illustrated by Germaine Arnaktauyok ; edited by I.E. Fitzpatrick.: R44-83/1967E-PDF

"Eskimo Games is the result of a recommendation made by the Arctic District Curriculum Committee on Physical Education which met during the Summer of 1964 to develop a program in physical education especially designed for Arctic schools. The committee recognized the need for related resource materials to accompany the program, which would be helpful to the northern teacher. The author of this booklet, William M, Zuk, was a member of the Arctic Physical Education Curriculum Committee. During the Winter of 1965-66, when he was principal of the school at Igloolik, Mr. Zuk collected information on the games described in this little illustrated booklet and submitted his work for publication as a companion piece to the Arctic Physical Education Program. This booklet, Eskimo Games, is not intended to be a compendium on all or even many of the games played by our Eskimo people. Included are twenty-five carefully selected games in which obvious physical co-ordination skills are highly involved. This booklet was illustrated by Miss Germaine Arnaktauyok of Igloolik, a second year university student, during the Summer of 1967"--Foreword.
