Volunteers Keep the Games Alive | Anchorage News

The World Eskimo-Indian Olympics are in full swing in Fairbanks, Alaska, with day two bringing thrilling traditional games, dazzling regalia, and heartfelt community spirit. This year’s event shines thanks to a devoted volunteer family from Pennsylvania, who’ve returned annually for over a decade—deeply moved by the culture and warmth they’ve found. For one couple, it’s even their 20th wedding anniversary, celebrated among the very people they’ve come to love. These unsung heroes keep the games running smoothly, from setup to first aid, letting athletes and traditions take center stage. It’s more than a competition—it’s a living, breathing celebration of heritage, resilience, and the power of community.
