This young lady comes from beautiful family and all of us here in Anchorage are very proud of her!
So proud of her and everyone! Wow that's a high kick I can't even do one push up!
These Indie Alaska videos are wonderful. As an Alaskan now living in Japan, these bring me back home. This is doing a true public service. Keep up the good work and interesting stories!
So nice to see the real Alaska in these Indie Alaska videos. Keep it up. They're great. This one is so good. It conveys the spirit of NYO... one of the most amazing cultural and athletic games in the world.
When you be a peace with yourself there is no limit to what you can achieve!
Look for Nicolas Devens, our second oldest, in future competitions. He broke the Valdez High school record at 81" in this event. He will most likely be going to Arctic winter games. This girl is awesome with an awesome attitude. Nice video.
I miss my baby sister 🥺
congrats Autumn!
We met Autumn Ridley in June. She is a most lovely young woman.She is completing high school in Anchorage and working as a guide at Alaska Native Heritage Center there.
This sport looks really cool
