Do you know the stories behind each dance? It would be nice to have some context for historical purposes. Thanks for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍
I would have to ask my wife for better details of the dance. She's spent a lifetime learning these things and when we posted this we weren't very good at sharing basic information or stories. It's amazing how far we've come. I'll try to remember to get back to you. 🙏
Some dances still carry the meaning behind them. Some may never be forgotten, no matter how many generations they continue to be handed down. But many are just the remnants of old songs sung by old souls long ago that are just echoing through us today. We will never know what some of them were composed for, but each one resonates within us and we feel it when the drums beat. Thank you for asking, I miss performing for tourists during the summers! -Mrs. Big John❤️
Keeping warm in the cold winter months with community, tradition and the love of family ❤
Missing Nome now.
Beautiful to see the traditions of the culture being shared, performed, and kept alive for the generations. ❤
The wife and I are native Alaskan and she's very passionate about her dancing.
Thanks for filming this so well. I can learn it from this.
Glad it was helpful! My wife is very dedicated to her cultural roots and loves her native dances.
