The World Eskimo Indian Olympics began for the 50th time this week. Native Alaskan athletes from villages all over the state gather in Fairbanks every year to compete in feats of strength and agility. Some of the events are quite amazing, requiring concentration, practice and skill. Others, like the ear pull, are just plain crazy.
Here, a competitor executes a swing kick.
There are booths set up at the Carlson Center for artisans to display and sell their wares.
There is even a story telling competition at the Noel Wein Library.
