Celebration is a biennial festival of Tlingit,
Haida, and Tsimshian tribal members organized every two years by Sealaska
Heritage Institute. The Juneau event began in 1982,
born of SHI's Board of Trustees' desire to celebrate and
showcase Southeast Alaska Native traditions and customs. Since that time,
Celebration has become an effective and energetic vehicle for encouraging
individuals, families, clans and communities to participate in traditional song
and dance, arts and crafts, and the revitalization of Native languages. It is
one of the largest gatherings of Southeast Alaska Native peoples and is the
second largest event sponsored by Alaska Natives in the State of Alaska. more
