These are the Aleut group of Alaska performing at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. This is just to show that different cultures in Alaska do have masks of their own masks and dances.
As you can see the men are using the masks and are telling a story with the song and dancing. It is always fun to see other peoples cultures and how they do somethings that are very similar to our own.
I am doing costume research for a local opera that is based on the Demeter/Persephone myth but set in the arctic... this has been very inspiring... thank you.
