@tiktok_trevor: Tsimshian Headdress Dance in Juneau, Alaska Part of a traditional Tsimshian ritual after the erection of a new totem pole. The Tsimshian people of Metlakatla erected a totem pole along the Kootéeyaa Deiyí (Totem Pole Trail in the Tlingit language) Renowned Tsimshian carvers and cultural revivalists David R. Boxley and Clifton Guthrie can be seen in this video. Despite being small in number compared to the other pacific northwest coastal peoples of Southeast Alaska, the Tsimshian have played a large role in the revival of northwest coastal art which was once persecuted to the brink of extinction. #tsimshian #metlakatla #tlingit #haida #eyak #alaska #alaskanative #nativealaskan #sealaska #northwestcoastart #pacificnorthwest #formlineart #totempole #juneau #yupik #dene #athabascan #southeastalaska #maxłaxaała #takwaan #aani #americanindian #nativetiktok #nativeamerican #davidboxley #indigenous #łingít #tsmsyen
