Forms of acculturation between countries of the Circumpolar North can be obvious, or subtle. One area where where acculturation shows itself is in team sports: In Chukotka, its soccer; in Greenland, its team handball; in Canada, its hockey; and in Alaska, its basketball. These sports are imports from down south. They are not traditional Inuit games. We love these games. This is one acculturation that Alaskan Inuit support whole-heartedly. -- Quinhagak, 2015
