So Many Were People, So Beautiful Was Our City
You are invited to a feast on the shores of the Skeena, “river of mists” by Simoiget Hagbegwatku of the Royal Dakhumhast House. Gilo Hyte stands alone in front of the great village of Damelahamid and welcomes the approaching canoes with a dance. Consumed by the nax nokxs, she throws the spirit and the guests respond in song. Gilo Hyte transforms time and space, bridging the ancient with a living tradition. Hidden for more than a century, Dancers of Damelahamid bring to the stage the treasures of their lineage: dramatic dances, captivating narrative, beautiful button blankets and northwest coast art.
