Baby regalia contest at WEIO steals hearts and perpetuates culture:
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - While WEIO focuses primarily on Eskimo-Indian games and competition, there are several other events that are put on by the organization — and none are more adorable than the baby regalia contest held on Thursday.
“One of the parts I love about WEIO is it’s not just about the Native games, but it also shows multiple parts of the cultural aspect of our people,” WEIO secretary Yvonne Flynn said. “I did a lot of sewing, it was a lot of work. I sewed her mukluks, her fancy parka — all fur,” contestant parent Jerica Leavitt said.
