Square dance in Nuiqsut, fiddle and guitar music provided by Canadians

Along with their traditional drums, songs and dances, the folks from Aklavik, Yukon Territory, brought a fiddle and guitars and staged a wild square dance. That's Andrew Gordon on the guitar and James Rogers on the fiddle. They play fast and good...

...and everybody had fun. Young people...

Angus and Alexander of Aklavik, Yukon Territory, play at the great square dance at Kuukpik's 40th anniversary celebration for Nuiqsut.

...and older people, too... Everybody had fun...

I should probably add... The entire celebration was alcohol and drug free. Not only was it fun, but everybody could remember it afterwards...

...those empty bottles and cans... water and juice...

...it was just a happy night...
