Head pull is an Inuit game where two people lie belly-down on the ground, pull each other’s heads, and try to move the opponent across a line. [1] [2] [3] [4] The game is played with a leather loop placed around the competitors’ heads as they face each other. [5] [6] The loop is placed above the ears, and the game becomes more difficult the higher the loop is placed. [3] The winner is the one who first pulls their opponent across the line, or if the loop slips off their opponent’s head. [3] It is an example of an Inuit game that requires little space, such as in small huts. [7]
Also, the competitors may face each other with their legs interlocked and pull their heads backwards until one of the competitors bends forward or gives up. [8] [9] This game is traditionally males only. [9]
It tends to be one of the more popular and competitive games during the Arctic Winter Games. [6]
In 2011, Canadian Governor General David Johnston participated in a head pull competition. [5]
