This is another game of athletic prowess and balance. Balance is needed while negotiating the rotten ice during breakup. ARM PULL Two athletes position themselves facing each other so that their legs are positioned where one leg crosses over opposite leg of the other competitor. Two out of three attempts will declare a winner. After each attempt, the players switch arms and legs.
Brute strength is revered when bringing the quarry out of the hole in the ice.
Several walrus skins are used for this event. The skin has holes on the edges so that rope can be looped through all the way around and used for handle grips. One person gets in the middle of the skin and stands there while being tossed. This is quite similar to a trampoline, with the only difference being that people are the springs and they can move to catch an errant jumper. The Nalakatuk is done in the whaling communities in the spring if there has been a successful whaling season.
