The World Eskimo-Indian Olympics (WEIO) is an annual event held over four days in July. WEIO promotes the cultural expertise and traditions of Alaska, Greenland, Siberian and Canadian Inuit and Native Americans.

As an organization we have been approached about changing our name. We have found that opinions vary widely in the Native population and even among the governing board of WEIO.

The Dena Games sponsored by WEIO are open to everyone regardless of ethnicity and all events are free to participants and visitors. Special thanks to the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center and the Alaska Dog Mushers Association for hosting the events. Thanks to Freedom Landscaping & Plowing for their sponsorship of the Snow Snake Event.
