The Git Hoan Dancers (People of the Salmon) bring Tsimshian dance to the world, sharing songs, dances, and oral traditions and using a wide variety of articulated masks and musical instruments that are distinctive of their home community in Metlakatla, Alaska. Founder David Boxley is an internationally recognized wood carver and cultural leader, frequently collaborating with his son David R. Boxley on public art commissions, including the totem pole in the National Museum of the American Indian’s Potomac Atrium. Based in Seattle and Metlakatla, the Boxley family and the Git Hoan dancers have been instrumental in the revitalization of Tsimshian arts and culture, integral parts of Tsimshian life that were once forbidden. Git Hoan performances unite many forms of artistry in handmade regalia, wooden masks, painted drums and rattles, and dramatic storytelling dances.
