if you approach this as a performance for your entertainment, it was strictly amateur hour. These are all kids, after all, but they really do it well. I counted as a gift their sharing of their culture in this way, because any culture that still has its music and its dance is still alive. We were invited to join in... More

This was the second best thing I did in Sitka. It was a great experience. I am fascinated by Native culture and art. My girlfriend went twice. More

Performance was shorter than expected, but good. We especially enjoyed the invitational dance at the end - it was a lot of fun!!! the performance was a treat for the senses, the music, singing, dancing, feeling the warmth of the center firepit, smelling the ashes, etc. More
