Coffee & Culture - Traditional Games of NL


Date: Feb 28
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Where: Theatre

Join Robin McGrath for a talk that will describe and consider the purposes and functions of some of the provinces traditional Innu, Inuit and Settler games and pastimes. The violent histories of piddley, flick, hoist-your-sails-and-run, the murderous capabilities of atinakan (Innu checkers), and the eroticism of Inuit strong figures, tell us much about our histories, our cultures, and our collective values.
