Head pull

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.

[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.

[6] In 2011, Canadian Governor General David Johnston participated in a head pull competition.
