Native dance is one of Alaska most powerful traditions to this day. Dancers are the instruments that express the art of communication visually through dance. Dances are used for ceremonies, courtship, story telling, or a permanent remembrance of a special person. Some native songs belong to tribes and are considered sacred and belong that tribe only. Many culture groups believe songs are to be kept, shared, traded, and even lost in war. My page is about native dancing in Alaska. I gathered information on native dancing from different resources to hopefully explain native dancing to anyone who may not know what it is, or why we do it. If you already have an understanding of what it is, there are many cool and intresting facts about it on, or linked to my page.
