World Eskimo-Indian Olympics

If you don’t know anything about the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics; be sure you make plans to experience them this summer. The competition takes place July 16-19 and features one-of-a-kind events such as the knuckle or seal hop, the four man carry, the ear pull, the kneel jump and the Eskimo or Indian stick pull. If any athletic event can be called “truly unique” this is the one!

Alaska Public Radio Network filed a fantastic Rebecca Sheir/NPR report for last year’s games that will give a touch of the overall WEIO flavor. Play or download the entire feature below. Then visit the WEIO homepage for full details.
