Here are a couple of my favorite photographs hot off the camera from this weeks Yukon Flats Volleyball Tournament.
I'm planning on doing a more in depth post, but wanted to share a few gems first.
The prelude to the main event was a traditional game called "stick-pull". Rival students sit facing one another, feet touching, leaning forward grasping a stick. The first person to let go of the stick loses.
The winning school keeps the stick until the following year. Arctic Village won last year, so we brought the stick with us. After a tough battle Beaver won and gained control of the stick.
After two long days of volleyball the festivities ended with a fiddle dance. Trimble one of the Traditional Chiefs for the region, and esteemed fiddle player took center stage.
Belle and her son Mike hosted a
Dancing With the Spirit music camp run alongside the volleyball tournament. You might recognize them from last years post,
Music Camp.
Stay tuned for more photos and stories from this fun filled field trip.
