Alaska, with its home-team advantage, took home the most ulu medals. But the games' highest prize rewards team spirit, cooperation and fair play.
Team Alaska faces off against Team Northwest Territories in the final game for gold at the Arctic Winter Games. Alaska, in the gold uniforms, won 8-1.
Some call the Arctic Winter Games the Olympics of the North, because it features all of the traditional winter sports like skating and skiing, but also futsal, a form of indoor soccer, as well as gymnastics and table tennis. But the Dene Games and Indigenous Arctic sports, better known in Alaska as the Native Youth Olympics, are what make this a one-of-a-kind event.Majorie Tahbone says it’s exciting to hear and creates a space that is welcoming to Indigenous people.
Jack and Kathy Timm of Wasilla volunteered at the Curt Menard Memorial Sports Arena. They were part of an army of 2,000 volunteers. He says it was very impressive to see so many of the male hockey players from other Arctic nations dressed up in suits and ties when they weren’t in uniform, a sign of how important this event is to them.
