Special this year:

The Git Hoan Dancers represent a culture of Alaskan Native people, the Tsimshian Tribe from Metlakatla, Alaska. David Boxley, nationally renowned carver and culture bearer, formed the Git Hoan Dancers to revive, practice and share the Tsimshian way of life that was once forbidden. The Git Hoan Dancers showcase the magnificence of Tsimshian art, resurrect the practice of the culture and educate the world that it is a diverse and a living art and culture. The Git Hoan performance shares legends of ancestors through song and dance.
