For many who went to this past weekend's Traditional Games, it felt a lot like the games before COVID-19. The dance group Woosh.ji.een was back for their usual opening performance, there was an audience again and more people came to compete.

Athletes, coaches and spectators gather on the Thunder Mountain High School gym floor during the Woosh.ji.een dance group performance at the Traditional Games in Juneau, Alaska on April 2, 2022. The team isn’t new, but it hadn’t competed in an event for a few years before COVID. The team struggled to find coaches. But then during the pandemic, Toloff’s cousin got a job as a head coach for the team and Toloff offered to help and got involved in NYO again.
A lot of athletes look forward to training for NYO and going to competitions. The events are more than just the games, Toloff said. They are also about the culture, the dancing, the food and seeing your community come together. It was during the 2020 Traditional Games that everyone found out that the Arctic Winter Games were canceled“These are things we look forward to all year, and never thought that it would just be canceled,” said Kyle Worl, a wellness coordinator at Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska.
