Forget the World Series.
Brazil is currently hosting the first ever World Indigenous Games, which some have dubbed the world's "first Indigenous Olympics." The event has featured indigenous groups from nearly two dozen countries, including Brazil, Finland, New Zealand and Mongolia, participating in bow and arrow competitions, log carrying contests, tug-of-war and beauty pageants.
Throughout the nine days of competitions, however, there have also been protests about Brazil's treatment of its indigenous population.
