Event
Storytelling of the Northwest Coast
Join us at Seattle University for an evening or oral and visual storytelling. The evening will feature storyteller Roger Fernandes, a member of the Lower Elwha Klallam Nation, and a performance by the internationally renowned Git-Hoan (People of the Salmon) Native Dance group.
Roger Fernandes was born and raised in the Seattle area and studies art at the University of Washington. His stories and artwork reflect the culture and beliefs of the Salish tribes of the Pacific Northwest.
The Git-Hoan Dancers represent a culture of Alaska Native people, the Tsimshian Tribe from Metlakatla, Alaska. David Boxley, nationally renowned carver and culture bearer formed the Git-Hoan Dancers in his efforts to revive, practice and share the Tsimshian way of life that was once forbidden. The group shares legends and stories through song and dance while showcasing the magnificence and creativity of their art, demonstrating a variety of articulated and carved masks, headdresses, drums, rattles and much more.
The group has a reputation of high energy, enthusiastic and spirit filled and has entertained, educated and thrilled thousands of audiences on the rich "living" culture of the Tsimshian people throughout the world.
