The event drew a large number of athletes, organizers said. The basketball tournament alone saw 132 teams, up from 96 last year.
The games were hosted by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Community, as well as the city of Fountain Hills.
The event was started in honor of Lori Piestewa, a Hopi woman who was killed during the war in Iraq in March 2003.
