The Yup’ik natives held festivals where multiple villages gathered to celebrate and thank Ellarpiim Yua (Person of the Universe) for the gifts of harvest and gathering. While dancing in the excitement relatives would invite their teasing cousins to join in the fun and make light-hearted jokes by thier motions.

The bounties of the harvest and gathering were shared among all participants, including elders, widows, and those unable to provide for themselves.

After the celebration, the animals returned to Ellarpiim Yua, reporting that they were treated well by the humans. They asked for permission to return through hunting, fishing, and gathering to be part of another festival.

Pleased with the love and respect humans showed for one another, Ellarpiim Yua granted the fish and wildlife permission to celebrate life with humans again at the next harvest.
