Ulus and Awards<br />
One of the most enduring and unique symbols of the<br />
Arctic Winter Games is the Ulu medal, modeled on the allpurpose<br />
knife traditionally used by Inuit peoples. At each<br />
Arctic Winter Games, Ulus are awarded in gold, silver and<br />
bronze to recognize the hard work and commitment by the<br />
athletes with a unique memento from the North.<br />
