Nalukatuk #2

Today was basically the same thing (as Monday’s Nalukatuk) but after the blanket toss and the candy we had Eskimo dancing. It was amazingly the same thing, the women would bob up and down by bending their knees and move their arms like they’re swimming, and the men would stomp their feet to the beat of the drums, and move their arms. The drums were made of seal skin for the surface wood formed in a circle for the seal skin to hold on to. And for the drum sticks they use a thin stick with duck tape on the top and bottom of the stick so it won’t split in two. They hit that and sing in Eskimo while the men and women go to a specific area and dance. The purpose of dancing is to show how brave you are. Grandma says the men love to do that.
