22 different villages from all over Alaska gather together for conferences, arts and crafts, and dancing. These dancers are from Kodiak island. To the beat of the drums they "motion" dance to stories about fishing. whaling and hunting. A real treat to see all of these different tribes gathered together in one place. Next time I will take video's as I learned very quickly that this was the only way to really see the beautiful hand motions to the drums. I have never seen costumes like these. The striking white arctic fox fur on the black background was impressive the way you only saw the white fur moving and dancing to the beat of the drums.
