The Dancers of Damelahamid is a traditional Gitksan dance collective originally from the Skeena River area in north western BC. The Gitksan are part of the northwest coastal group of cultures that have the distinctive button blanket regalia. We perform with intricately carved & painted masks, headdresses and elaborate regalia.
We have gained a national reputation as one of the finest northwest coastal dance groups in British Columbia. Dancers of Damelahamid bring to the stage the riches of their traditions: dramatic dances, captivating narrative, beautiful button blankets and northwest coast art.
