Stick Gambling

21st Annual Yukon Stick Gambling Competition

This is what hand games look like in the Yukon and I was so amazed at the amount of young people who participate in these games along side the Elders. We talk about traditional knowledge as being importan for our younger generation today. Hand games is alive and well in most northern communities and I have witnessed it on several occasions. Is there a chance that we can we link traditional knowledge like hand games to modern curriculum in our classrooms?
