Description
In the mountains of northern Algeria, the arrival of spring is celebrated with "Thakourth," an ancestral game similar to hockey. Locals say the game is a way to lay to rest grudges and settle latent disputes that may have festered between some Berber villagers. "This game was inherited from our ancestors long ago. It is played by our Berber tribes (...) We play in a spirit of brotherhood," says young Thakourth player Sid-Ahmed Yettou. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
