A magnificent film featuring Pacific Northwest Indian dances of the ancient winter ceremonial handed down among the Kwakiutl families as their way of keeping history. Beautiful costumes and masks are worn by the dancers in this black and white film
I love this video, so nice to see my great grandfather Hereditary Chief Willie Seaweed. I would have loved to meet him in person but he was gone long before my time=(
