The '''Arctic Winter Games''' are a biennial multi-sport and indigenous cultural event involving [[circumpolar peoples]] residing in communities or countries bordering the [[Arctic Ocean]].

==History==
The Arctic Winter Games were founded in 1969 under the leadership of [[List of governors of Alaska|Alaska Governor]] [[Wally Hickel|Walter J. Hickel]], [[Stu Hodgson|Stuart (Stu) M. Hodgson]], [[Commissioner of the Northwest Territories]], and [[James Smith (Yukon politician)|James Smith]], [[Commissioner of Yukon]]. The idea to "provide a forum where athletes from the ''circumpolar North'' could compete on their own terms, on their own turf" came from Cal Miller, an advisor with the Yukon team at the 1967 [[Canada Games|Canada Winter Games]]. 

In 1970 in [[Yellowknife]], Canada, 500 athletes, trainers and officials came together for the first Arctic Winter Games. The participants came from the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Alaska. Participants now come from [[Alaska]], [[Northern Alberta]], [[Yukon]], [[Nunavut]], [[Nunavik]], [[Northwest Territories]], [[Greenland]], [[Finland]] and [[Norway]]. The games in 2002 were the first jointly hosted Arctic Winter Games, by [[Nuuk]], [[Greenland]], and [[Iqaluit]], [[Nunavut]]. During the 2023 games, [[William, Prince of Wales|Prince William]] held a [[Videotelephony|video conference]] with nine participants.<ref>{{citation| url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/royal-endorsement-legacy-meeting-canadians-coronation-playlist-1.6741296| last=Davison| first=Janet| title=The royals have their causes, but how much difference can they make?| date=12 February 2023| publisher=CBC News| accessdate=4 June 2023}}</ref>

Designed to celebrate the unique sports and cultural heritage of the Arctic, the Games showcases a diverse range of competitions, traditional sports, and cultural events. With a strong emphasis on fostering friendship, cultural exchange, and athletic excellence, the Arctic Winter Games has become a platform for showcasing the talents and traditions of northern communities.

The next Arctic Winter Games are scheduled to take place in [[Whitehorse]], Yukon from 8–15 March 2026.<ref name="2026games">{{cite web|url=https://www.awg2026.org/ |title=AWG 2026 Coming to Whitehorse! |access-date=4 November 2024}}</ref>

==Nations==
# Canada - five regions ([[Northern Alberta|Alberta North]], [[Northwest Territories]], [[Nunavik]], [[Nunavut]],   [[Yukon]])
# United States  - one region ([[Alaska]])
# Greenland
# [[Sápmi]] - the region stretches over four countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia

==Contingents==
Since 2004 the same nine contingents have participated in the Arctic Winter Games. Another four contingents have taken part in the games throughout the games' history: [[Russia]], [[Magadan Oblast|Magadan]], [[Tyumen Oblast|Tyumen]] and [[Chukotka Autonomous Okrug|Chukotka]]. In the table below is an overview of each contingent's appearances throughout the games.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://awg2006.kimik-it.gl/ |title=Medal standings |access-date=1 March 2007 |year=2006 |author=Arctic Winter Games International Committee |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202171106/http://awg2006.kimik-it.gl/ |archive-date=2 February 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://arcticwintergames.net/media/11b1530e-c63b-4d05-b43f-3df1caed107f/a765BQ/Galleries/Booklets%20and%20Publications/AWG%2050th%20Anniverary%20Booklet.pdf?download=false |title=50th Anniversary of the Arctic Winter Games |website=arcticwintergames.net |access-date=25 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=About the Arctic Winter Games |url=https://arcticwintergames.net/About-AWG/Background-And-History |website=arcticwintergames.net |access-date=25 February 2023}}</ref> Prior to the 2000 Arctic Winter Games Nunavut was part of the Northwest Territories.
