Kwagiulth Chief's Daughter/ Potlatch




I attended a dance ceremony (ok, aimed mainly at tourists) put on by the Kwagiulth tribe in Victoria BC some years back.

    I'm not a fan of these dances-for-tourists, but it's better than nothing. Impressive photo (when you see it larger), but also sad, these interesting cultures nearly wiped away, demoted to tourist attractions.

    Agreed Rob, around where I live some tribes disappeared completely.
