Inuvik Aboriginal Day 2008

The Delta Good Time Band (with guests on bass and drums) played a square dance after midnight on June 21 2008.

It was part of Aboriginal Day celebrations, which also marked the longest day of the year at Jim Koe Park.

This style of "jigging music" is popular in the north: it has a quick beat like a galloping horse.

Notice all the mosquitoes! There was a cloud of them descending on stage but people kept playing and dancing.

This video was filmed around 1am.

Nice place by the look of it. I believe some of my relatives emigrated there from the UK back in the 1960s. :-)
