11. Hagoo – Unsmiling
In the language of the Tlingit Indians of Alaska, hagoo means “come here”.
Invitation to a stony-faced challenger to walk a laughing gauntlet without smiling.
Two lines, about three-feet apart. Two players, one from each team, stand at
opposite end of the line, bow and say, “Hagoo”. They walk toward each other, not
breaking eye contact nor their reserve. If they cannot keep their reserve, they join
the other team.
Prui
Want to find Prui? Everyone is blind folded. Mingle and shake hands and ask, “Prui?”
If there is an answer of “Prui?” you have not found Prui. When there is no answer of
Prui, you have found Prui, and can find hands to hold and open eyes. Games ends
when everyone has found Prui.
