Podium sweep by trio of Alaska Native mushers highlight Iditarod 51
, marking the first time ever a Redington has been victorious in the iconic race.
“There’s not a lot of Alaska Native teams in the race to begin with,” Kaiser said, who is Yup’ik, shortly after crossing under the Burled Arch. “Three out of four in the top three is almost unheard of, you know. It’s like the earlier days of the race, where there was more participation from rural and Native teams. But I think it’s great, and hopefully, inspiring to another generation of kids in rural Alaska or anywhere.
“Having Ryan, third-generation, and his mom from Unalakleet,” Burmeister said. “Bringing that in our top three, with Iditarod this year, Ryan, Pete and Richie are Alaska Natives. It’s one of the most special things for the event. And it shows that we can still do it.”
