Intertribal Gathering at Alaska Native Heritage Center

After the Prop 8 protest Saturday, we went to the Intertribal Gathering at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Most of the attention was focused on the dancing. We saw a little bit of Alaska dancing, but there were tribal groups from the rest of the Lower 48, and even a local Irish tribe.



Of course you need to hear the drumming and see the movement to get even a tiny sense of what it was like.

The little kids were raptly watching the Irish dancing.



Then J wanted to go through the display hall to see the beading demonstrations.
