Inuit throat singing game, teaching drumming and the high kick game.  The object of the throat singing game, called Katajjaq, is to make your partner laugh. She who laughs loses! The throat singers were at the 2012 Northern Lights conference in Ottawa, and the drumming and high kick were at the Winterlude 2012 next to the conference.  The drum is called the qilaut and the high kick (usually done with two feet, but the non-Inuit they were teaching did it with one) is akratcheak.
