Every two years dancers from the First nations around the Yukon and Alaska gather for "Celebration." My family and my clan, invited me and Aja to come along and take part in the experience and help the elders. One of the highlights was when my niece Megan sang her own song from the main stage. She wrote the song when she was doing her 4 day isolation at her coming of age ceremony. Three days of celebration in Juneau Alaska with dancing on the Grandstand, the stage and even overflowing onto the street.Monday, July 5, 2010
