Is snow snake played today? Who plays it?
The 2008 Arctic Winter Games included snow snake in the Dene (interior native) Games. Male and female junior and adult Dene snow snake competitions are scheduled for the 2010 Arctic Winter Games in Grande Prairie Alberta Canada. In addition, three Cub Scout groups in Burlington Wisconsin, an elementary class in Syracuse New York, a children’s museum in Boca Raton Florida, a natural history museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Chippewa Tribe in Minnesota and the Mohegan Tribe in Connecticut are using Snowsnake Racers as a teaching tool in programs that end with a snow snake competition. You can teach a lot of history and culture between shaping and racing snow snakes!
