Yeil in Tlingit, but this dance group is Tsimshian. David Boxely's group is an incredible blend of artistic innovation and cultural expression. As the Tshimshian group from Metlakatla, Alaska lost most of their traditional songs due to a heavy presence of missionaries, most of these songs are original compositions. This performance was at the Anchorage Museum in May, 2010. Ravens scared the baby at the end, so I stopped filming! Now all baby wants to do is watch this video.
