More the 450 student-athletes participated in the 2019 Native Youth Olympics on April 25-27 in Anchorage. At NYO, athletes from communities across Alaska demonstrate strength, agility and skill in traditional Alaska Native contests, such as the Alaskan High Kick, Wrist Carry and Seal Hop, among others. The Games, designed to celebrate Alaska’s rich diversity, are open to students of all cultures. This statewide gathering fosters values such as teamwork, leadership and cross-cultural respect while also testing endurance, skill and balance of both mind and body. NYO’s 10 competitive events are influenced by the skills and abilities originally involved with subsistence activities passed along for generations.
Cook Inlet Tribal Council has proudly hosted NYO since 1986. Learn more about CITC at citci.org/
