Synopsis
The athletes of the Alaska Native Games aren't just returning to their cultural roots. They never left them. Learn the histories of twenty-five Native Games that have been taught from generation to generation for centuries. Discover how each one is uniquely tied to some aspect of surviving in a harsh environment. Then take the challenge, no matter where you live, and try them, too! The ancestors of today's Alaska Native people routinely pitted their strongest, most agile, and fastest men and women against those from neighboring villages or tribes. Those traditional Games never changed, only the venues-from cramped sod gathering places to modern gyms and arenas. Alaska Native athletes hold dear their traditional values of honoring elders, responsibility to tribe, sportsmanship, humor, patience, and hunter success. With this book, you're invited into their world. Jump in and test yourself! Book jacket., The athletes of the Alaska Native games aren't just returning to their roots. They've never left them. In this beautifully illustrated book, readers learn the history of twenty-five Native games that have been handed down through generations, how each one relates to the subsistence lifestyle, and how you can try them yourself, regardless of where you live. As Tricia Nuyaqik Brown shows, even though today's competitions are a big media event in Alaska, the games themselves are really no different from those of long ago. Ancestral communities once pitted their strongest, their most agile, their fastest men and women against those from neighboring villages or tribal groups. Those games never died, but rather than gathering in a sod meeting place, competitions are now held in gyms and arenas. Each game today can be linked to some aspect of surviving in a harsh environment, of drawing sustenance from the land and sea. From the Seal Hop to the Bench Reach to the Four-Man Carry, these ancient games still require athletes to be in top physical condition and possess sharp mental focus. They hold dear the traditional Native values of honoring the elders, responsibility to tribe, sportsmanship, humor, patience, and hunter success. This book offers an engaging introduction to these games and their history, inviting people to jump in and try them for themselves, The athletes of the Alaska Native games aren't just returning to their roots.

The item was as described; great pre-owned condition. Appreciated that the seller was open to returns. It allowed me to try the item (for fit). Unfortunately the jacket was too large and I ended up returning it. The seller was very responsive… mailed the item as soon as I made the purchase AND provided the refund expeditiously upon receiving the returned item. Excellent seller!
