Blanket Toss - World Eskimo-Indian Olympics 2016
Generally the nalukataq (blanket toss) is done for celebration, but at WEIO it has been made into a fun competitive event as well. Entrants are judged on height, style, and landing. Participants here must be very trusting and brave, as most of the people "pulling" the blanket are volunteers from the audience, strangers who may not even have ever participated in a blanket toss before!
