Nunavut Sivuniksavut student Gabriel Takpalok Klengenberg performs the high kick with bar holder Olaf Christensen at Rideau Hall, the Governor General of Canada’s residence, in Ottawa on Jan. 28. The traditional games demonstration was part of a larger performance by NS students at the Governor General’s winter celebration, an annual outdoor party which includes skating, concessions and a tour of Rideau Hall. Students drummed and sang for members of the public who attended and offered information on the Arctic and Inuktitut culture. (PHOTO COURTESY OF NS)
