Prince Rupert held the 2008 Elder's Gathering. These are the Nisga'a Dancers performing for everyone and now their chiefs and elders in attendance are entering - greeting the people - then being seated for the rest of the performance.

  • @MrDiamond795 Pretty impressive! I am from Burns Lake, BC and I just wanna say that this song is very cool and I love how you all dance. I have performed in the Vancouver 2010 Opening Ceremonies with a guy name Devon who wears the awesome wolf headdress. Keep up your Nisga tradition alive. I will do the same in my tribe of Carrier/Woyenne.

    If you wanna see me performing, type on here A Walk On Moss. You'll see me drumming and singing in regalia with flags on my headdress.

  • Heyy ii see me! :P ii'm leadiin the Chiefs! :P

  • LOVE it ! , im from Kitamaat but i really enjoy watching other Nations such as Nisga'a and Tsimshian perform, beautiful !

  • @NisgaaMom04  Im a Killer-wale, from terrace.

  • We are the Nisga'a & there are four main tribes, Wolf, Killer-whale, Eagle, & Raven. We hail from the Nass Valley that is comprised of four villages with many urbanized Nisga'a also. We are so very proud of our culture & heritage.

  • WOW! LOVE YOU NISGAA DANCERS! I worked amonnst the nisgaa when I first started nursing 15 yr ago. Im a naive and married to a palastinian man....it would be so awesome if you showed up at a palastinian event in vancouver to show how strong CULTURE is and to support another indigenous group;..THEY AND I WOULD CRY!.

  • Gunnchezz, tho I do honor the Chiefs & elders, long time

    ago, gee for that fact, 60 and 70 sh, as I am the 1 st born

    special ed, tho I done school,jail, treatment and 1/2 house, so that fact I've rob myself, not listening to the family, culture, so in this moment i have learning the crying bit of tears, knowing that the white man's machine and the culture is learning to help the young children of our Culture, to share in their hearts and sprightly of carrying on strong

  • love it!
