Alaska’s Native Voice: Live from NYO 2026 Day 3

KNBA’s Rhonda McBride and Jill Fratis bring us all the action from the 2026 Native Youth Olympic (NYO) Games. This program provides up-close interviews and discussions with NYO participants, leaders, and culture bearers. The program features interviews with athletes, coaches, NYO leaders and veteran athletes. The traditional games, which were originally depended on for survival, continue to develop the strength and skill of generations of Alaskan Native people. The NYO carries on the games by encouraging young people to strive for their personal best. This episode highlights the vibrant energy, unique spirit of fair play where athletes coach competitors, and the deep connection to Alaska Native culture, tradition, and community spirit.
