Video Title:
Dakhká Khwáan Dancers 1
Description:
The Dakhká Khwáan Dancers of the Tlingit Nation of Alaska and Canada work to bring opportunity of cultural revitalization and social transformation within their communities by reclaiming their languages, traditional values through the traditional art form of song, drumming, dance and storytelling. They strive to present their culture with the utmost respect to cultural protocol and with the highest form of artistic integrity. They are also driven by the desire to provide a space to learn and understand their ways, practices and history while working to raise the public's awareness of the rich First Nation culture that continues to exist within their communities. This is the first of two performances that were webcast live on November 8, 2013 from the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC.
