On Friday, October 23, the Don Hatch Youth Center became a place to move, learn, and connect as community members of all ages gathered for the first Movement is Medicine event.

Agnes Borjal, physical therapist with Tulalip Health System, said of the event she helped organize: “I hope it’s the first of many, and I hope that the community knows that we’re here for them — heart, mind, soul, and movement. We are really trying to touch the roots of what medicine is. It’s not just Western medicine. It’s the medicine that’s always been there, which is being in the garden, going on hikes, picking the berries.”

SEALASKA HERITAGE SETS DATES FOR CELEBRATION 2028: Trustees name Kake dancers as lead dance group

The Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI) Board of Trustees has set the dates for the next Celebration. The biennial dance-and-culture festival will be held June 7-10, 2028.

Participants are encouraged to book hotel rooms early as accommodations fill quickly in Juneau.

The lead dance group will be Ḵéex̱' Ḵwáan, a multigenerational group from Kake. Ḵéex̱' Ḵwáan translates to “Mouth of the Dawn Peoples.”

Today the group consists of 150 Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian members. Its roots trace back to the 1970s, when a group of children called the Kake JOM Dancers began to learn traditional songs and dances. In 1989, they started making regalia and performing as Ḵéex̱' Ḵwáan.

The lead dance group is responsible for leading the Grand Entrance and Grand Exit songs, during which every participating dance group dances across the stage to mark the beginning and end of Celebration. That requires the lead group to drum and sing for up to three hours straight during both processions. The honor is given to one dance group every two years.

Celebration is the largest gathering of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples in the world, and it has become one of the largest events in Alaska since it was first held in 1982. Thousands of people — including up to 2,000 dancers — attend biennially. It includes several events spread over multiple venues throughout downtown Juneau, such as a Juried Art Show, Native artist market and parade.
