Then I read this paragraph:
Quote:
In their venture north, the Mirror Lake students were also immersed in an unfamiliar setting. The seventh-graders went ice fishing for sheefish, learned native dancing, made swan sculptures out of caribou antlers and sewed traditional cloth parkas called kuspuks. They learned a body slamming game called buckbuck.
Apparently Fat Albert, Junior Barnes, and the rest were playing a traditional Alaskan Eskimo game all this time? I never would have guessed. Hah. I grew up on those old records. Good times!
