This should be on ABC sports prime time. This is a big missed opportunity not only for ABC but also a great chance to learn about the people who have always been connected to this land .

I really enjoyed this segment. I lived in Fort Richardson in Anchorage Alaska. I had the great opportunity to visit Eskimo villages and see the people, their culture and traditions. It was a very rewarding experience.

I would love to learn more about this and maybe even watch the games. Does anyone know where to do that before I go searching?
