Competitors from the 2023 Army National Guard Best Warrior Competition learned about Alaskan Native culture and hunting traditions by attempting some of the events featured in the Alaska Native Games and Native Youth Olympics on July 9, 2023 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. The events reflect a combination of signals used between hunters and villages, games played during winter to stay agile and physically fit, and the final event, the seal hop, was a tactic used by hunters in order to sneak up on their prey undetected.
