Manage episode 344506185 series 1079761
This week on Addressing Alaskans we’re hearing from Nick ‘Iligutchiak’ Hanson, better known as ” The Eskimo Ninja” from the T.V. show “American Ninja Warrior.” Hanson was the first Inuit to compete on the physically demanding show requiring contestants to maneuver through a high-tech obstacle course. His experiences growing up around substance abuse and mental illness in rural Alaska made him want to share his story, bridge cultural divides, and inspire the next generation.
Hanson is joined by friend and fellow “ninja” Grant McCartney, “The Island Ninja.”
This program was presented by the Alaska World Affairs Council and is moderated by AWAC President and CEO Lise Falskow.
