- Eskimo_yo-yo abstract "Eskimo yo-yo or Alaska yo-yo (also known as Alaskan yo-yo, Alaska Eskimo yo-yo, Alaskan Eskimo yo-yo, Alaskan Inuit Eskimo yo-yo, Alaska Native yo-yo, Inuit yo-yo, Inupiat yo-yo, Yup'ik yo-yo, Yupik yo-yo or Eskimo bolo, Mountain bolo) is a traditional two-balled bolas-like fur-covered two padded poi type yo-yo skill toy played by the Eskimo-speaking Alaska Natives, such as Inupiat, Siberian Yupik, and Yup'ik. The Eskimo yo-yo is regarded as one of the most simple, yet most complex, cultural artifact/toy in the world. The Eskimo yo-yo is a toy popular with Alaskans and tourists alike that involves rotating two sealskin balls suspended on caribou sinew strings in opposite directions. This traditional toy is two unequal lengths of twine, joined together, with hand-made leather objects (balls, bells, hearts) at the ends of the twine.The object of the Eskimo yo-yo is to make the balls circle in opposite directions at the same time. Each cord is a different length to allow the balls to pass without striking one another.An Eskimo yo-yo is a toy consisting of two objects attached to strings of slightly different lengths. The Player twirls the strings so that the objects circle in opposite directions. It is made in a variety of shapes, ranging from seals, ptarmigan feet and dolls, to miniature mukluks and simple balls. Many are plainly decorated; others display elaborate decorations, fine beadwork, and intricate details. The Eskimo yo-yo is bola, toy, and art form all rolled into one. One of their most popular forms of the Alaska Native art are yo-yos. Also, this is a popular tourist art found in gift shops across Alaska. Some shops carry only Native-made pieces, while others, according to Alysa Klistoff, carry imitation pieces made in China.Though a true history of the Eskimo yo-yo remains shrouded in mystery, Eskimos maintain that this game originated as an important and widely used hunting tool made simply with sinew and bones, the bola. Based on a bola design, in olden times tools like this were made of rocks tethered together with sinew and were used to catch birds. It possibly evolved on St. Lawrence Island from the similarly constructed sinew and rock bolas used in bird hunting.".
