ReviewsIt is the photographs, principally by Bill Hess, which dominate and justify this book; and they are indeed magnificent, each one sharp, vivid, dynamic, and soulful. As is not always the case with books of this type, Worl and her editors have gone to great lengths to identify as many people in the photos as possible, which, given the geographical spread of Southeast Alaska Native families, is no mean task... (this book is) likely to deservedly stay in print for a long time.

SynopsisIn 1982, the fledgling Native nonprofit Sealaska Heritage Institute held a dance-and-culture festival to celebrate the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska. A couple of hundred Native people gathered in Juneau for the event, called Celebration . They could not have imagined then that Celebration woud spark a movement across the region - a renaissance of Native culture that prompted people largely unfamiliar with their heritage to learn their ancestral songs and dances and to make regalia for future Celebration s. Today, Celebration is the largest cultural event in the state, drawing thousands of people to the five-day biennial festival. Celebration: Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian Dancing on the Land , featuring the work by the noted Alaska photographer Bill Hess, includes images from the first Celebration s to the present-day festivals. It is both an introduction to Native cultures and a cherished keepsake for the people who have participated in Celebration . Sealaska Heritage Institute is a regional Native nonprofit organization serving the indigenous peoples of Southeast Alaska. The Institute was founded in 1980 to administer cultural programs for Sealaska Corporation, a Native for-profit company formed under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The Institute's mission is to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures., The photographs in this book recreate Celebration--a biennial dance and culture festival held in Juneau to honor the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska.
