The Yup’ik natives held festivals where two or more villages would gather to celebrate and thank Ellarpiim Yua (Person of the Universe) for the gifts of harvest and gathering. These events were joyful reunions of families and relatives.

Neighboring villages would bring gifts such as useful utensils, hunting gear, fish traps, qayaqs, and dried fish, meat, seal oil, and more. It was believed that the fish and animals offered themselves as gifts from the Creator.

After the celebration, the animals would return to Ellarpiim Yua and report that they were treated well by the humans. They would ask for permission to return and celebrate again. Pleased with the love and respect humans showed to one another, Ellarpiim Yua would grant the fish and wildlife permission to celebrate life with humans once more.
