Antonia Gonzales from National Native News, producer Emily Schwing, Jill Fratis from our flagship station KNBA, and the Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden bring us all the action from the 2025 Native Youth Olympic (NYO) Games. This program provides up-close interviews and discussions with NYO participants, leaders, and culture bearers.

This first of three episodes introduces the NYO Games in Anchorage, highlighting the vibrant energy, unique spirit of fair play where athletes coach competitors, and the deep connection to Alaska Native culture, tradition, and community spirit.
