Napaataq
(or napartaq) is a traditional game that tests one's
harpooning skill. You need a flat board and a napaataq (a four to
six inch piece of wood with a nail embedded in it so the sharp part of the
nail sticks out of one end). The object is to make the nail stick in the
board so the napaataq stands up. But the tricky part is, you have
to release the napaataq in different ways, for example palm up, palm
down, balancing it on a fingernail, balancing it on an elbow, etc. After
successfully sticking the napaataq in the board from a sequence of
release points, the player completes the sequence backwards.
The first person back to the first release point wins. (Below, Andre
stuck the napaataq in the board after rolling it off the back of
his hand. It takes a lot of talent!)
