We are pleased to announce the Dakwäkäda Dancers from Haines Junction, Yukon will be one of our featured dance groups at this years 44th Annual Honolulu Intertribal Pow Wow on October 6 & 7.
The Dakwäkäda Dancers are a First Nations dance group from Haines Junction, Yukon. Four sisters, Sheila Kushniruk, Josephine Boyle, Diane Strand, and the late Kathy Kushniruk, who are grandchildren of the late Annie Ned, a well-known and respected Southern Tutchone Elder, established the group in 1992. Mrs. Ned taught many people how to dance, sing and become knowledgeable about the traditional way of life.~ The songs and dances the group performs are from her teachings of both the Southern Tutchone and Tlingit cultures. Other Elders have inspired the group by passing on songs to them and encouraging them to compose their own.
The group consists of over 50 members ranging from ages infant to adult.~ The group members come together to learn and share Southern Tutchone and Tlingit songs, dances and drumming. The majority of the performers are of Southern Tutchone ancestry, but there are also Tlingit, Northern Tutchone, Kaska, Tahltan, and Stó:lō.
The Dancers have performed in many venues locally, nationally, and internationally.~ They have traveled to Juneau, Alaska; Blanding, Utah; Bella Colla, B.C.; Tanacross, Alaska; Cowichan, British Columbia; Eklutna, Alaska; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Sinaola, Mexico; 2010 Vancouver Olympics and Fairbanks, Alaska to name a few. Some performances in the Yukon include the Commissioners Potlatch, Yukon Storytelling Festival, Arctic Winter Games Opening Ceremony, Council for Yukon First Nations General Assembly, Gathering of Traditions Potlatch, Yukon Stick Gambling Championships, Honoring Yukon First Nations Celebration and various Yukon Territorial Government activities.
