As a sport, national competitions arose in the course of the labor activity of the peoples of the North and received official recognition in the 60s of the last century. Today, national sports, both in the NAO and in other northern regions of the country, are aimed primarily at maintaining the historical basis of indigenous peoples, preserving and developing their culture and traditions.
