turuokk

Turuokk is a traditional Inuit game played in the Arctic regions, particularly in Greenland and Canada. The game is played on a large, flat surface, typically a frozen lake or a specially prepared area of snow. It is played with a small, hard ball made of stone or metal, and two teams of players, each consisting of four to six members.

The objective of the game is to score points by hitting the ball into the opponent's goal, which is a small, elevated structure made of snow or ice. The game is played in two halves, each lasting about 20 minutes, with a short break in between. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Turuokk is a physically demanding game that requires a high level of skill and agility. Players must be able to run, jump, and hit the ball with precision. The game also requires a good understanding of the rules and strategies, as well as the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

The game has been an important part of Inuit culture for centuries, and it continues to be played today as a way to preserve and promote traditional Inuit values and skills. It is also a popular tourist attraction in the Arctic regions, as it offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience traditional Inuit culture and sports.
