It Was Used By Children (Such As Southern Children Us Doll Houses) Each One Has A Specific Identity, Igloo Walls, Dog, Mother, Father, Child, Etc. It Was Used By Adults A Game. The Adults Would Meet And Each Adult Would Bring Something As A Prize. I Do Not Know The Rules, Value Of Pieces Or How It Is Played. Although I Was Told The Adults Would Take Turns Picking A Piece, From The Pile. When All The Pieces Had Been Distributed The Game Began. I Used This Drum When I Taught About The Inuit At The Many Schools And Groups I Visited.
