Bristol Bay celebrates Indigenous culture online

Cauyarvik is the Yup'ik name for the month of November. It's a time for yuraq traditional dancing and singing. Celebrations are usually held in person, but the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed many events online.
Atkiq Ilutsik-Snyder, the culture camp project director for the Bristol Bay Native Corporation, said that while people may be physically distant and unable to travel, it is still important to continue the traditions and to celebrate online.
"It definitely feels different than how it would be if we were in person, but it is something," she said. "This pandemic has been really hard on everyone and our songs and dances really are healing."
