We got to see many dancers from all over Alaska (even New Mexico and Arizona!), some incredible feats of strength and agility and experience the true culture of Alaska as it still lives so vibrantly today (as great as museums are). We only wish we could have stayed much, much longer instead of catching our flight home.<br /> <br /> This group is Haida or Tlingit, I believe (or both). This style is much more common in the Southeast where the climate is rainy and temperate than in the north, where furs and skins seemed to be more common traditional dress.</p> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 21:51:18 -0700 2007-07-18T20:51:27-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (shanbrite2) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/856055351 Dancers at the World Eskimo Indian Olympics <p>An amazing way to end our Alaska trip.
