However, I would argue that what occurs at the Arctic Winter Games is, in fact, closely intertwined with the notion of circumpolar security. The stated mission and values of the AWG extend far beyond encouraging athletic competition.

The AWG bring the circumpolar world closer together by promoting cultural exhibition and social interchange along with the occasion to celebrate sport. The packed week of events presents many opportunities to strengthen the connections between Arctic communities from different regions and countries and build partnerships. Shared security in the Arctic for all Nations necessarily depends upon the stability and confidence that stems from circumpolar connections, and the AWG present a forum in which these can be built.

The AWG also validate indigenous Arctic cultures in a unique way. Indigenous Arctic sports and Dene games are featured in the athletic competition with equal legitimacy and attraction as other international sports. The medals that winning athletes take home are in the shape of an ulu, a type of traditional Inuit knife.
