Head pull is an Arctic Sport meant to test a competitor’s strength and endurance. After a leather belt is wrapped around both competitors’ heads, they pull back, similar to a tug-of-war. Like other Northern Games, it was played by everyone, even in confined spaces. It also helped build the strength needed to travel long distances in the fall and winter! #CBCSports #CBCIndigenous #AWG2026 #Whitehorse2026 #ArcticWinterGames
