The women displayed their traditional knowledge and talents before an audience of young kids in Fairbanks yesterday. The kids were wowed by Native dress, songs and the Eskimo yo-yo.
The pageant kicked off the 43rd annual WIEO. Athletes will compete in traditional games like the seal hop, stick pull and blanket toss.
