Every other year, the people gather in Nulato to attend the week-long [[Stick Dance]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/>  It is celebrated on the years that it is not held in [[Kaltag, Alaska]]. People from all over the [[Athabascan]] region gather in the small village to attend the sacred dance that is done to celebrate the lives of lost loved ones and to appreciate the people that helped the family through the mourning process. This ceremony was started by a couple that lost their family in a tragic accident centuries ago. Friday night of the stick dance is the largest and most powerful night of that week, on this particular night the attendees sing 14 sacred songs and dance. This particular dance is called in the Athabascan language Meyegha Doh Sealyihe (the dance before the stick dance) after this dance they put a decorated stick up in the center of the gathering place and chant while going around the stick (chants- Heeyo Heeyo Heeyo Hey Heeyo Heeyo Heeyo Hey).  Nulato residents are predominantly [[Koyukon]] Athabascan with trapping and subsistence lifestyle.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}}
