The second day of the Senior Native Youth Olympics in Anchorage featured the Eskimo stick pull in the morning.
There’s also a version called the Indian stick pull and Elia Tulik from the Nelson Island community of Nightmute has competed in both.
He’s a junior this year and says he’s tried all the events but he qualified for the Indian stick pull which in a way he’s been practicing for a long time.
